New on here
Was wondering if you guys could tell me what color this is. The owner doesn't know but he says it has purple pearl in it.

Also do you guys have any idea what kind of bumper this is and where I could get one?

99CLK320,
Call a MB dealer with the VIN and they should be able to tell you.
I think the bumper is a stock 02 bumper but but the owner added a carbon fiber lip spoiler. I say that because I know those are stock 320 fog lights.

Would a stock 02 bumper fit on a 99? It should right?

I gotcha. So are these cars pretty reliable? I'm going to take a look at the one I posted the pic of, it has 158,000 miles. I'm a BMW guy and I know they usually can go over 200k not sure about Mercedes though.

Valve cover leak? Maybe.
Oil cooler o-rings on a 55. Sure, given enough time.
Just plain worn out? Not on any of the forums I've been on.
People burn up their electronics, wear out their suspension, ignore their flex disks until they explode, and even wreck the car - and the motor still runs.
These guys bolt superchargers on NA engines and 'occasionally' one grenades, but not under 'normal' circumstances. Now if you said "550" and "cam gear", I think we'd be a lot more quiet, but not the M113.
Who here has blown an engine? Who? Where is the guy from Jersey with the DIY turbo kit? Doesn't his still run?

Not sure about MB? Come on man. A well maintained Benz will do 200 easy. Ask the guys here where to buy a rebuilt 430 or 55. They don't know. You know why? They don't break.

99CLK320,
determining consistant maintenance may be difficult unless the previous owner took his car to the dealer in which case, providing the VIN# to the dealer should be able to provide you with a complete maintenance history. Why a 55 at 14 mpg for a daily driver?
