I had a cheap inspection report done for someone at a Firestone per their request, then they flaked before even seeing it. I found it pretty much useless, and it told me less than what I already knew. I'm not paying for a PPI but will disclose anything about this car. I will have one done if someone wants to pay for it. I'm a seasoned mechanic/technician with 28 years of experience between cars, aircraft, instrumentation and controls. I'm honest and not looking to make money off the car, just want it gone to make garage space, however I'm not going to give it away for a beat-up, high mileage Honda price.
It's most likely going to be sold this weekend. But here's what's been done during my 4 year ownership. I've also tried to use OEM parts whenever possible.
- Front suspension rebuild with urethane lower control arm & sway bar bushings for reliability. Lowered with H&R springs and Bilstein shocks. Front wheels bearings and seals
- Motor and transmission mounts, transmission conductor plate, trans flush/filter, new Mercedes harmonic balancer, belt, tensioner, plugs, wires, MAF, Bosch alternator, valve cover gaskets, fan clutch, crank sensor, breather hoses, radiator hoses, regular synthetic oil changes with Liquid-moly
- Front brakes replaced last year with new original style high-carbon alloy rotors and brake flush performed. Akebono pads and stainless brake hoses. Rear brakes are Powerstop cross drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads, rear stainless hoses. Literally no brake dust at all.
-Wheels replaced this year and are in excellent condition. The existing Continental tires were reused but are now showing wear. The monoblocks were sold by the previous owner before I bought the car.
-AC and heat work fine
-Recent oil change and air filters
-Kenwood touch screen with navigation, Rockford Fosgate 10" subs, bandpass box, 2 Rockford Fosgate amps. I can remove the subs/amps if unwanted.
-Tires are showing wear and will need replaced soon. I will happily have them replaced but it will add to the price of the car.
-Headliner will need to be re-done, beginning to sag in the rear
-Paint is presentable but there are a couple small dings and rock chips.....it's 22 years old.

The CLK is leaps and bounds more reliable than my W220 but I've only owned it since last November so I'm not quite done shoveling money into it just yet. The W208 is a good entry level, older AMG car. Mostly analog, simple, reliable M113, 722.6, huge bakes, rigid chassis, not a rattle trap.

Thanks for the bump! I'm only selling this because I don't need 2 cars (one being a needy S55 with ABC suspension), a family van and a new truck. Something will be left outside and I like to keep my vehicles garaged.

I have a love/hate relationship with mine, doesn’t help that I bought one that was neglected before I got it. The 83mm pulley and tune really woke it up. I’ve finally gotten all the leaks and ABC sorted for the time being too. When it’s behaving I love it. When it pisses me off, it really pisses me off. It’s a leather couch on a rocket.
