Buying CLK

Hi,

This is my first post so I hope I'm posting in the correct area.

I'm looking at buying either a SLK 320 or 430 I guess it will be a 99-2000 model.

The cars I've looked at have between 36k-50k miles.

I would like some advice on buying and what are service intervals and costs (I'm in the UK).

Would I be due any major service work at these mileages?

Thanks for any comments

Steve

i've seen 99 model clk430s with similar mileage to what you listed as low as $23K and as high as $30K. I'm located in the bay area CA, so I don't know how the prices are over where you are at.
