C230K Coupe/Orion/C4/C5/CD/AMG Spoiler/V60/TeleAid, 2 MGB's
I was offered a trade-my-coupe deal on an '02 CLK320 and walked away because the CLK is being replaced. I pushed for the same deal on an '03, but they wouldn't go for it. Apparently, someone saw my car/color and wanted it so badly they were willing to take one 'slightly used' and the stealership would have given me MSRP on a trade.

And even if u add a kleemann kit i am guessing the CLK will still be more money inless its god tons of milliage on it.
Or u can do what i did and get both.
I just got my CLK430 even though there are going to be changed soon. i like the look much better.
The CLK430 is a really great car. I love both my cars but there very hard to compare.
Lynn-
Its not really the same plat form as the W202 its on a different chassis. And it really can not be compared to the W202 very well at all. Its very different.

i have some money down on a clk 500 cabrio.... and i admit i like the front end and the side view of the old clk a lot better.
however the recirulating ball steering and relative low tech is a turn off.
v8 power though is very very tempting

ok, to be honest, i like the looks of the old clk - very classic. but really, that's the only thing going for it for me. i'd rather have the new clk as it is supposedly a great driving car and of course, all the new technology like keyless go. and w/ rumors of a vario roof to come out for the new clk, the timing may be just right

i was under the impression that karman only made the convertible tops.... not the entire car (or any parts of the engine)
where did you get this info?

Sorry Greg, I made the whole thing up, there is no Karmann and I've never heard of Osnabrück and there's no Santa Claus. NOT!
The Mercedes-Benz CLK has been rolling off the assembly lines in Osnabrück since September 1997. Go to the Karmann's website and select Englisch | 2 Products and Services | Vehicle Manufacturing | Vehicle Assembly and watch those CLK's being built. That's why the CLK is such a great car, it's not made by MB so it's likely more reliable and better fit and finish.

There is no comparison, infact I am baffled that this question has been asked ! Hands down the CLK430 will win against the C230k, in every single aspect. The CLK430 is just so far superior to the C230k.
You just cannot even compare a 4-banger to a V8, nomatter how much you modify your coupe.
There is no comparison, go for for the CLK430.
