I looked through the posts and it seems like the 208's take some $$$ to keep running....what about the 209's? I am thinking about getting an '05 CLK55 so how are those reliability wise and maintenance cost?

Thanks

My 03 has just been oil changes pretty much. I had the passanger seat recognition go right after warranty but that cost me like $600.00 and just the alarm went crazy so i replaced it and that was around $100.00 and i did the labor. Ive had it since 12k miles and it now has 42k.... I love the car it is SOLID.

We recently got ours and took it to the dealership for a thorough inspection while it is still under warranty.

They fixed seat motor, sunroof motor, seals, lamp condensations, and CD Changer. From previous Benz history nothing else was reported. I would say more electrical than anything.

Maintaining a MB doesnt come cheap.

Only problems I've had were both headrest motors broke....but they were still under warranty. So far nothing has broken out of warranty. Knock on wood.

it is 04 clk55 and I had it since 6K miles and it has around 16K now.

1- replaced the R low beam headlight (the Ballast) not the bulb under warranty
2- driver side Aluminum trim came off and was replaced under warranty
3- it is convertable and the inetrior lining of the roof keeps coming off from one side at the rear windshield. fixed 3 times so far in 4 months under waranty

thats it for me
