clk430 reliable?

I currently have a 94 c280 which has been the most problematic car I have ever owned in my life. For some reason I held on to it for the pat 6 years though. I swore off mercedes after this, but now a friend of mine is offering to sell me his 2000 clk430, with 101,000 miles for a very good price. Are these cars reliable and trouble free? He says he has had no trouble with it what so ever.

I think the 430 is great (knock on wood). I have only had mione for a couple of months, but i have always read good things.


Just make sure it is well taken care of. The v8 is a fantastic engine, and you probably will not regret the choice.

Also, plan on ending your friendship with your pal if the car is a bomb...... sometimes a friends sale is a "good" deal, and sometimes it is not worth it.

Clk 430
although I only have 59k on mine, it's been reliable in the 4 months i've owned it. An A/C glitch has my A/C turning on randomly, besides that it's workin great!

'99 CLK430
Odometer at 58K and nothing but good luck so far.
It has never let me down and I've only had to do 1 set of brakes & rotors.
