Happy owner of '98 CLK 320
Talking YAY - finally got my car!

I GOT MY CAR!
I am just soooooo happy now.
I simply have to tell the world!

Got the car today, I feel like I have been waiting 1000 years for it.

Been out driving most of the evening, just enjoying myself.
I have yet to discover the faults, allthough as the car is 9 years old, I am quite sure there must be some. A few scratches and some swirling on the paint, and a few marks on the leather of the passenger seat seems to be all I could find.

The cars trip counter passed the 25'000 km (15'625 miles) mark today.
I really didn't trust the salesman on the number, but the servicebook seems to agree with it.

I tried my engine/compartment webasto heater and it seems to work great.
Going out into this cold weather, getting into a pre-heated car is just absolutly luxury to me.

Since the code for the original radio was lost, the dealer put in a Sony. Colours are not what I would have liked, but the sound is incredibly good, atleast to what I am used to.

Ah, I can't wait to get out tomorrow and ride the car to work

Thanks!

Yes its very low mileage.
Seems it was a woman from 1930 who had the car before me.
She didn't drive very much to begin with, and after she died, the plates where turned in, and the car just stood in a garage for 3,5 years.

The dealer has promised me that all fluids in the car has been changed, to avoid any problems with contamination or moisture. The tyres and wheels has been changed too, the tires where impossible to correct after so long without moving.

Thanks.

And yes, I am looking at envy at some of the cars pictured in these threads.
My own came pretty much as straight out of the factory, so there is a lot of room for modifications. These first 3 months I am gonna take it slow though, trying to see what is going to break and getting it fixed before the time runs out and its not longer the dealers responsibility
