Red face 2008 CLK 63
I just bought a 2008 CLK 63 with 56,000 kms. Hope I love it as much as my CLK 550 I just sold. It looks pretty sweet. It's being shipped from BC to Ontario.
I've read about engine issues, but it seems to be seen at much higher kms. I'll put 20-30 K on this and sell it. I keep really good care of my cars and they are kept out of the sun & weather when not being driven. I'll make sure to do frequent oil changes, and look into zinc oil additives which should dramatically help with cam/tappet friction issues.

It's a beautiful car. I am sure you will enjoy long time. The 63 engine is actually pretty reliable too.
