checking out a clk today

will be looking at a 2004 CLK 500 with about 30k miles today

what are some things to look for?

do these cars have a lot of electrical issues?

what is the operating cost on these vehicles compared to a e46 M3?

thanks!

04 CLK 500
As long as you don't get the 320, I dont think you will reget it. I would agree if you could get the service records that would be good. If the weather is nice put the windows down and notice the lack of a "B" Pillar. Drive around with the windows down and you will be sold. Besides the solid power, thats my favorite part of the car. You definitiley get some looks when all the windows are down.
