2008 CLK550 - Trouble Spots?
Just signed up to the forum, was looking for some advice.
I'm coming out of an '05 G35 Coupe and am looking at two '08 CLK550. One CPO, 12k miles for $35k (no NAV) the other non-CPO 22k miles $34k (with NAV).
Coming out of an Infiniti, I know running costs are going to be higher, but what else should I be looking for, what tends to go wrong, are there any well known trouble spots?
I'm trying not to get burned on my first Benz.
Thanks in advance!

2003 CLK 500
Take a look at this thread. Has some info on some common problems.

I have a 2003 CLK 500 with 111,000 miles.
I had some small problems such as a crank position sensor which is about a $50 part. I have seen more than a few people with the same problem. I also had to replace one seatbelt. The transmission and the engine are rock solid. I have been nothing but happy with my car. Go for it, you won't regret it.
