hi I am looking at a mercedez clk 320 that is on craigslist for around 4500$
it has 164000 miles on it and the owner said it is running good without problems. I made an account on here to ask for advice on the car should I get it or not?im looking for a good daily driver to get to school, work and drill without problems.

Mercedes-Benz builds the best fifteen year old, 164-thousand cars you can find. That said, if you want zero problems, you may want to have it inspected by a dealer. Maybe two. And then budget for whatever they missed.

This,are all tips about buying a used Mercedes. They really are great cars, but they can get expensive if not maintained.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to meet the guy at a Mercedes dealership to have it inspected and go from there I asked him when the last time his timing belt was replaced and he said no idea so I'm a little skeptical on the car

The CLK320 has an M112 engine, and there is no timing belt. Its a double row chain that "may" need replacing around the 500K mile mark.
