It's been many years since I've been on here. Way back when I had my R129. I'm now looking to get back into Mercedes and the CLK350 has caught my eye so I need some advice as to how to proceed.
I've done some reading on here and looking around I like the idea of a sport. There was 1 on eBay which had all sorts of AMG bits on; calipers, wheels, SS exhaust, boot badge. Are these likely to be factory fit or aftermarket stick ons. A picture is attached and there is also an AMG badge on the boot.
This car seems to be well appointed; 6 CD player, keyless start/entry, FMDSH, Nav, premium sound and more. The colour combination of black with light cream leather looks particularly nice. Apart from photos I don't know about condition so can't comment.
Assuming it's in good order, I reckon I could buy it at around £6500. It's got 106k on the clock so would that be a reasonable price. When live on eBay, it had an opening bid of £5995 but didn't get any bids at all.
So what do you experts think and is there anything particular I need to look at. I did see something about timing gears?? on certain engine numbers. Would this be an issue for a 2005 facelift car.
Thanks for all your help to come.
