2005 CLK 320 Cabriolet
Things to check when buying '05 CLK 320
Last week I test drove an '05 CLK 320 Cabriolet with loads of goodies and 42k miles for 21,990. I'm ready to go back and buy next week but I would like to know of any problem areas or signs I should inspect or common problems. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I got a mint 04 clk500 for 17500. Always check Kelly Blue book and offer no more the $1000 above wholesale tops. I also had a Mercedes shop do a pre-purchase inspection.

Only problem with that is that its at a "no-haggle" dealership. I'll call them up and see if I can haggle anyway, or just look somewhere else.
Edit: KBB is showing private party value at 23,000 and retail at 25,570.

I got a 06 CLK350 with everything. Blutooth, nav, bixenons that turn, ipod connection.. anything else you can think of for 25. With 36k miles and I'm still disappointed I didn't get a bigger motor.

This one has, I think, every available option other than the parking aid. From the listing:
"Keyless Go/Touch Entry, Navigation, One Owner, Leather, Insulated All Season Fully Automatic Top, Xenon Headlights, Heated/Cooled Seats, Satellite Radio, CD/CD Changer, Harman Kardon Premium Sound, Wood Grain Interior Package, Home Link, Dual Power/Memory Seats, Traction Control, Premium Wheels,"
