Hi all,
I have just purchased a 2003 CLK 320, with 130,928 kilometres on the clock.
Colour is Cubanite Silver, and the car is an Elegance spec.
It could do with the driver seat leather having a feed, the headlight covers replaced, and the warning triangle in the boot needs reattaching.
Collect the car on Sunday 16th January.
I will post some better pics as soon as I can. This one is a screen shot from the advert.
Cheers,
Graeme

Graeme,

beauriful car. Great color combo, exterior and interior. The cars down under age nicely. As opposed to us living up here in the salty North East US.

Zill.

Congrats, nice looking convertible.
Just in case since the car is 2003 check the radiator is not Valeo

Kiwibenz

Thank you.
I have a 2003 E500 as well, and am aware of the Valero radiator issues.
Will certainly check that over when I get it.

I don't know.. those headlights look a bit cooked and the interior sounds worse off than my CLK from Connecticut. Have to wonder if it has the warm environment sticky switch syndrome?

I do like that color combo! Congrats to the new owner! Enjoy those top down cruises!

Kiwibenz

Thankyou,
I intend to replace the headlight covers, or at least get them polished till I replace them.

Bmo Pete

You should be able to buff those clear. Not sure if this brand is available in NZ but I'm sure you have similar; worked really well for me:

If the radiator has not failed since 2003 it is not just going to. Not all of them were bad and most of the ones that were failed in the first 3 years.

Graeme,
After reading a couple of replies I went back and looked at your headlight lenses. Yikes!

if you want I can send you my own personal technique for removing the lens haze. You’ll need rotten stone powder, car wax, a good random orbital polisher and a can of clear chart. The stuff they sell is over priced and does not work all that great.

zill.
