2004 CLK 320 Cabriolet
Cool New to this forum

I just wanted to hi to everyone. This is my first post, but I have been lurking for a little while now and I just wanted to introduce myself.

I bought an '04 CLK 320 Cabriolet back in October. I got the Brilliant Silver with the Charcoal interior. This is my first Benz, actually this is my first new car the others have always been new to me. I find that the more I drive it the more I love it.

Anyways, just wanted to say hi.

I have a few pics but they are not to good. They were taken with a crappy digital camera because my good one broke. I don't know if I should post them they just don't do the car justice.

I think it's pretty good. The response is quick, but I had a little problem at first getting use to the throttle by wire and figuring out the sensitivity of the pedal.

I agree, I think it looks good in black but its just to hard to keep clean. That whay i went with the brilliant silver it does show the dirt as much. I think white and silver show the dirt the least.

I had to do it another way to get the pics to show up. Everytime I tried to attach them I kept getting an error about 1 byte limit.

As for what I like about the car... the handling is good, comfort is great and performance isn't to bad either considering it is a 6 cylinder. I swear everytime I drive it I find something new. Not to mention that top down feeling

Thumbs up

Many congrats

Nice set of wheels...I will be shopping for a convertible in the not too distant future and this is one model I will seriously look into.

Any ideas how much these run for at dealerships? Do dealers deal on the CLK cabriolets?

Thanks for the PICs

Cool

Hi there

I word ... Gorgeous . Many thanks for the pictures.

The CLK500 I test drove was white with black interior and I had to peel myself from the car (too much option and dealer did not budge from the MSRP)

I know you will enjoy this set of wheels. I did .... during the test drive.
