What is this?

This car is being advertised as a 2007 CLK 280. I'm no expert, but I didn't think Mercedes made a 4 door CLK.

This is obviously a mistake. It's a C280.

Yeah. That's what I thought. He also has a pic of the rear of the car with a CLK 280 badge. Obviously re-badged at some point.

Someone was drunk or high doing that. In case you're looking into buying, be aware that car might suffer from the dreaded balance shaft problem ob the early M272 engines.

NO LONGER ACTIVE

That would not be the first W203 I have seen with a "CLK" badge. I once say a "CLK500" badge on a W203. I guess people who have no clue about MBZ's nomenclature just "assume" that more letters and bigger number is "better".
