Looking to buy CLK230
Hey everyone!
I'm new here, and I'm lookin' to buy a used 2001 Mercedes CLK230. (The coupe, not the convertible...)
What's the history of these vehicles? If I get one used with 30,000 miles, will I be paying a lot of repair work? How do they handle in the snow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2000 CLK430
ill throw in my $.02, youll get better help from others im sure....
i have a CLK430, so i cant comment on the 320 exclusively, but many of the problems that the CLKs had were pre-modelyear 2000. Mine is a 2000, and i have only had warranty interior parts break (my fualt of course), no real problems at all....
as far as snow handling, if you get snow tires, you will handle just fine, many guys here have commented positively on snow driving abilities. My car doesnt move in the snow, but thats because of my tires and wide rims, but it also doesnt snow all that much down here in Dixie.....
