New to me CLK550 Cabriolet

I picked up this pristine example yesterday from a local seller/enthusiast. I looked at a lot of different premium convertibles over the last month and have had my eye on this one for a couple of weeks.

All service records, 25,800 miles. It will become my semi-daily driver (8 miles garage to garage). I've owned Porsches and BMW's but this in my first Benz. Look forward to learning more about them.

Forgot to mention: Black is not a color - it is a full-time job.

Welcome to the forum, Mike! That's a nice CLK, and MY2009 should be very reliable.

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention that the previous owner had the ECU flashed by Mercedes of Buckhead in Atlanta ($1495) with a tune from sportmapecu. I don't think the company is in business anymore but it was supposed to bump the output to over 400hp.

I'm jealous, that's a beautiful . Except for two LED assemblies my 09 350 has been trouble free.
