I've scoured the Internet with no success, and now I find myself here in search of answers. I recently took a 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK 320 Sedan off of my girlfriend's grandmother's hands with the intentions of pricing and selling the vehicle. However, I ran into some problems, or at least some confusion along the way --- nowhere on the Internet, and I mean nowhere, can I find information on a CLK 320 Sedan. With the "C" standing for coupe, and with literally every single website I visit only showing coupe versions of the CLK 320, I have nowhere else to turn. Does anyone have any insight or information on this 2001 CLK 320 Sedan? I'm extremely grateful for any possible help. Thanks a lot. I've attached photos of the vehicle as well.

This is a 2001 W203 C320. Someone put a CLK badge on it for some reason but there is no such thing as a CLK "Sedan".

This is like someone putting a Mustang badge on a Fusion or a Taurus.

I'd fix the badge and make it what it is "C 320". That'll increase your chances of selling it because potential buyers won't think you're trying to trick them.

On a side note, that is one funny idea! I'm trying to think what the guy who did it had in mind A false sense of driving an MB couple?

It's the same as the AMG badging but with a slightly dimmer bulb

Thanks for the response. Those were my initial thoughts as well until I discovered that her grandmother had purchased it new. Either way, the only conclusion I could come to was swapped badges. Still though, why go through all the trouble? It's not like you'd be increasing the value, right? If anything, decreasing it.

Or it was just a mistake if the trunk was once repainted. Body shop once turned my 6 cyl. Jeep into a V8 that way.

I have also seen one of these in my part of town. It could be as Yidney said, some body shop ordered the wrong lettering. But I think some people don't understand MBZs nomenclature and think that "CLK" is more prestigious than "C". For example, I was at the gas station a few months back and a young lady at the pump behind me was in a CLK350 coupe the same color as my car (Cadet Blue). We chatted a bit and she dais hers was a MY2008. When I told her mine was a My2007, she looked puzzled and said, "Wouldn't a 550 be newer? I thought the number indicated the year???"

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Please take me far far far away. Preferably in a CLK 63.

Oh no. not CLK 63 please.. In that age in time we'll all be in a apocalyptic wasteland.. Might have watched too many Mad Max movies in a row..
