Hi All
New bloke here and one that's just about to buy his first Merc and looking for some advice. I've decided to buy a CLK 200 convertible. I'm not familiar with
Mercs though and am about worried as a mistake could get expensive real quick. So obvious normal check over things aside is there anything to be wary of or specifically look out for?
Price seems to vary a lot, especially where mileage is concerned. My budget is around £7.5k but would like it to be below that but to be honest I'd probably go above it for the right car. This seems to buy me anything from a low mileage 03 to a c100k mileage 06!
So within those years is there any major model changes/face lifts, i.e. I'd hate to buy an 04 if they did major upgrades to the 05 and then everyone saying I should have held out for the 05!
Right i'm off to read some archives to help me avoid too many repeat questions!
