03 clk430 cab... pewter/ash/ash..k4 command blue-lit doorsills phone cd changer
new man

hi there... just got back from signing a deal at smythe-european in san jose, ca...... new 2003 clk430 cab, new pewter color, with ash/ash... command, phone, cd changer, k4, blue-lit doorsills..... the funny thing is that i got there at 5pm and left at 8pm... and still never saw it... at the last. my great salesman, Bruce, really a great and knowlegeable guy,, gave me a chance to squint through heavily tinted glass, and the clk was in there about 60 ft away... so as i said,, i still have never seen it!.... this is really a great forum, and i'm sure i will be posted for this and that.... i will put pictures up as soon as i figure out where my camera is (moving)... cheers!......frank

Sounds like a great car, how does the ash top contrast with the Pewter body? Did you get a good enough squint to check that out? Post pics soon!!!! BTW, the GM of my old dealership is opening a new MB dealin in San Jose (Beshoff Motorcars), make sure to check it out when he gets it up and running. He is a great guy and very customer oriented!!!!

I hate to tell you this. There is no such thing as a 2003 CLK 430. It is either a 2002 CLK 430 or a 2003 CLK 500.
