Saying Goodbye To The CLK One Last Time - Sold Her (CLKFAN)

I just wanted to make one last thread for the old CLK. She was reliable to me and never left me stranded. I took care of her just as much as she did for me.


I'll always lurk around here and I still have some local friends that I will obviously stay in touch with.


As for another Mercedes, I may buy one in the future but for now I'm going to enjoy my Wagon. I'll be in a different tax bracket in 2 years so I'm sure I'll get the itch to buy another one but I'm not sure what. Only time will tell.


I'm sure some of you may have already seen these pics but for those who are new to this sub-forum enjoy the pics from over the years I had handy to post.

Definitely my favorite 208 of all time and one of the most influential to this subforum. Sad to see her go.

A SAD SAD day....! CLKFAN is what I based my car on, I always loved the simplicity of the styling, the natural way the mods worked, and is what sold me on the looks.!
Your car was the pinicle of W208, the best out there, a deity !

Forgot to mention that the guy I sold it to is going to have his own custom wheels made.

So I still have the wheels and will be posting a thread to sell them. If anyone wants them just PM me or if anyone still has my number call me. If not then I will be posting a thread by next Monday to sell them on every MB forum and craigslist.
