High miles CLK55's?
I am looking at an '02 CLK55 with 79,000 miles on it. The car is being sold by an MB dealer. They are getting the services up to date (B service) and a few other odds and ends. Anybody have any experience with higher milage 55's? I wanted one with lower milage, but the price and color (White/charcoal) are swaying me in this direction.
Thanks in advance,

I second the motor mount replacement.....under the CPO program the dealer replaced mine @ 54k on the clock (on an m113 C43). Very likely that this may need to be done. Other than that, I wouldn't really consider 75-80k miles to be "high mileage", and I wouldn't expect any major issues

The 208s look great in white. I wanted a C32/C55 but I saw this one (white clk55) and I had to have it.
I got a lower mileage car, which is nice but I didn't really care. I think as long as it's Starmarked you should be fine.
My mechanic (independent) went over the car and said it's in excellent shape. The following have had to be replaced:
MAF, Window Regulator, Blower Motor, Brake Switch and various squeaks (fixed most of them myself).
Of course, everything (except for fluid changes) was covered by the warranty/ dealer's sales dept. good will.

I currently have 71xxx miles and will be getting the B service soon. I drive my car every day and all I can say is I miss it when I don't dirve it. I do expect to replace the motor mounts soon as I have noticed some vibration at idle. But If you love it and can afford to keep it up as well as if the dealer will give you a respectable bill of health/warrenty why not?!! Do you trust the dealer?

Supersparker,
I just bought my '02 with 54k on the odometer and it is a dream. I do have the minor vibration others seem to experience around the 50-70k mile marker but that is a simple thing to fix in the comfort of my garage.
Is the car your looking at a CPO? What kind of warranty are you going to have? The electronics is probably something you want to ensure is 100%.
The 208 is a solid car and although I have had mine less than a year I am a HUGE FAN!
