CLK430 Buyer's Guide
I’ll be in the market for a CLK430 coupe in a couple of months. I’ve noticed the FI was upgraded in 2001. Were there any other changes in 01? Are there any advantages to buying an early model 1998-00 versus an 01 or an 02? Are there any years or features that should be avoided? Any "must have" options to look for?

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
Lots of changes from 00 up...
and in my opinion (I've owned several) the quality is much better from 01 up, with 02/3 the best (last). Not only appearance changes, but multi function steering wheel, SOS, prepaid service was standard from 00 to 03. Much better cars and I would encourage you to pay the difference.
