2001 CLK 430 Silver
Thumbs up Just Bought 2001 CLK430--Love It
I have had 3 corvette's, two Porsche, two Z cars and a Lexus, They were all great cars, but I LOVE the 430, Class & more than adequate performance, I was down to deciding between the CLK430 and a 530 BMW, Its just better lookin than the BMW and you don't see as many CLK430s in Texas as you do BMWs, I am very happy with my choice.

Excellent Choice
Between the BMW and Mercedes...There is really no comparison!

You will find the CLK to be solid as a rock, smooth like an XO Cognac and powerful. It is truly a classic piece.

Congrats on the car and let us know your mod plans!!

CLK55 and Yukon Denali
I went to the dark side for three months. By then the W208 (which I should have never betrayed) was replaced with a W209 and I bought that (CLK500). Never grew on me and I am back in a W208- and they will have to pry this one away from my dead hands. You will be very pleased. Congrats!
