So considering a 208 AMG, sort of concerned about the crash safety. The W202 I know is not the best in accidents so I'm wondering about the 208 CLK. Also the lack of curtain airbags makes me question the safety as well. Thoughts?

 

There was a young man killed several years ago who drove a 208 (vehicle was in a rollover accident). He was a member of this site, but IIRC was not wearing a seatbelt at the time. Despite the horrific crash, the pics of the passenger cell of the car looked good - meaning he may have survived if he had been restrained.

Go over to wrecked exotics if you want some pics of CLK crashes. I mean, nothing is going to save you at 150mph, but for such a small car, the crash structure is very very good.

 

It's funny... when I was buying this car I also looked around for crash ratings. Somehow there seems to be no info.

chappy the ones I'm looking at have less miles than yours!

 

Hey nice!

What kind of pricing are you seeing?

 

16,800 to 19,900 asking prices.. we'll see how I do

 

Good luck man....let us know how the hunt goes.

 

How about my 01 CLK55 with 43k on it? I can work on price a little.

The CLK55 got a good rating on the offset test. Which is the highest. I can't see it doing bad in the other tests. But you are right, the data is absent.
