Thumbs up Received my 2003 CLK320 (Lots of Pics - *56K WARNING*)

Well, I wish I just picked up my new CLK, but I cant say that I did. However, I did pick up uncles new CLK320 today. Im in NYC visiting my uncle, and luckily his car finally came in. We went to Benzel-Busch(sp?) in New Jersey where his black exterior and charcoal interior car was waiting for us. I took plenty of pics, and plan on even more later (probably tomorrow). Hopefully those of you who are waiting for cars will enjoy to see these non-press pictures and first-hand account. It would certainly get me excited!

Without further ado....

Washing the car...


The rear end..


A virgin interior...


Salesman stepping in the car..


The beautiful dash..


The decent back seats.

Congrats on your purchase as well! The 500 must be a dream!

What time were you at the dealer? We were there from around 3:20 to approximately 5:00.. When we went to see the car in the detailing shop it was siting next to a dark blue CLK500. We didnt see any other CLK's though, let alone another black one. I assume that blue wasnt you though, right? It was a great looking car/color.

As for mileage, I believe it was 20miles or right around there.

Oh, and in response to your other thread - the pickup is very quick even for the small engine. Well, at least compared to the old car!

So then your car would be the car in the background of the first picture I posted?

If so, those are our two cars sitting side by side all nice and new...

hi iseff congrats on the new CLK.

For iseff and schumacher, did the dealer charge you for extra?? or did they charge the car MSRP only?
