5,920 miles '12 C300 4M Sport Build
Hello everyone,
I had been looking for a 2012 C300 4MATIC Sport with the M272 engine for over a year and finally found one in October 2018. I bought it from an auction in the US as it was involved in a front right accident, but the car is pretty much brand new with only 5,920 miles on it as confirmed by Carfax, MBUSA, and the dealership where it was serviced (New Jersey).
The car arrived in Lebanon last week and I took delivery of it last night. I plan on repairing it and owning it long-term so I will document everything in a thread in the W204 section for those interested. Your advise, tips, comments, and questions are more than welcomed.
I would also like to know if there is another W204 in the world with less mileage than my car. I'm very curious about this because this is the lowest mileage car I ever own.
Honestly, this is really bittersweet for me because I owned my first CLK in 2013 in Canada and my second one in 2014 in Lebanon and now the beginning of the end has started with the CLK and its gorgeous pilarless design which attracted me to it the most. If I had another garage spot or a safe place to keep it, I'd leave it as a weekend cruiser and drive the C300 daily, but that is not possible unfortunately and I couldn't convince my dad to sell his W211 E-class and take my car instead. In his own words, the E-class "drives like a yacht" whereas the CLK "is a racer".
Oh well, maybe one day I will have the space and I will buy another CLK, a 2009 CLK 550 maybe, and keep it for life.
I will post my final goodbye message when the new car is up and running and I list the CLK for sale, but I should still check out the forum and help as much as I can.

The time has come! I sold the CLK yesterday and she's gone. I wish I could have kept it as a weekend cruiser, but due to lack of space, she had to go. 4.5 years later and 100,000 km, she had served her time.
I guess it's time to say goodbye, but I will visit the forum from time to time to help out, but with Rudeney around, everyone is in safe hand. Thank you to everyone who helped me out during these years. Much much appreciated.
For those interested in what I did with my new 2012 C300, you can check out the thread here.
Hasta la vista!
