2001 CLK430 85k miles $2500
Hey all,
Found a 2nd owner family owned 2001 Mercedes CLK 430 Coupe (non convertible). It has 85k miles on it. Seller claims good condition and maintenance. Says there are a couple cosmetic issues like paint chips here and there and a button that needs to be reattached. He’s selling it for $2500. No accidents. No check engine light. Clean title. I drove it today and it drives great, I might get wheel alignment soon if I buy it. What should I expect experience and maintenance wise? Carfax indicates average annual mileage of around 4k miles. Any advice will be appreciated. First time buying a car and just want something fun and sporty that runs me the next 3-4 years.
carfax history-
The following list details the documented service and replacement history for the 2001 CLK430:
Engine & Performance: Crankshaft position sensor replaced ; mass air flow sensor replaced ; valve cover gaskets replaced ; air filter replaced ; engine/powertrain computer/module reprogrammed ; blower motor resistor replaced ; and recent oil and filter changes.

Some parts and trim, are very hard to find (UK) and other countries.You will spend a lot of time on
e.bay and scrap yard sites, looking for parts.Be prepared to shell out eye watering money, for second
hand parts.No longer available from Mercedes. I have got a 2001 W208 CLK 200 Cabriolet.Good luck..

Get it! $2500.00 is a steal with 85k on the dail. Most of the maintenance has been completed, and only needs minor fixes..Do you have any pics of car/interior?
