new CLK430 owner

Well folks,

I bit the bullet and picked up a 1999 CLK 430 off ebay.

Comes with all options (K2, K3, and K4).

Mileage is a tad high (65,000 miles).

For $ 1800 extra I got the 100,000 miles / 7 year extended warranty for peace of mind.

The car is flawless condition and drives like a dream.

I got it for $ 27,500 (+ $ 1800 for the extended warranty).

Did I get a good price?

Any tips / pointers that you send a new owner's way would be much appreciated.

thanks.

great!

Great choice ! I was hoping it was silver when I was loading pics. I was once lucky enough to put 500km or so on an 02CLk430 same color same packages.(just about) I can't tell if iyours has the blue tint in the windows? Blue tint looks wicked with grey leather interior. And as another member already said "youll love the v8s!" Oh yeah. Theres something about starting up a CLk430 that differs from most others (including other v8 mbs)
Its a rush just starting it usually. Definately one of my favourite to drive. Congrats!
