I have looked at this one (not in the flesh but online). Believe me, I have probably looked at every CLK500 for sale out there. A few issues/observations about that 500; it is out of my price range by about £1500-£2000, it has been reduced from £11695 about a week ago or so, I suspect there is not much more the trader would come down to. He emailed me the service history - it has not been serviced since 26/9/05 @ 50976, it now has 63000 miles on it. So no service in nearly 3 1/2 years!! I think the tinted glass forward of the doors is illegal, it looks too dark. The other comment from the trader is that the tyres are 'all legal' - I read in to that statement that they will need replacing in the near future. Does look good in blue though!
