Welcome New Members
I am new to the world of Mercedes after a loyal stint with BMW which are great cars.
I am in Australia and have purchased second hand a 2000 CLK 430 and I am the second owner of this vehicle with only 132000 km
Its a project car that I intend to also race around a social club race track.
So far its a great car with some minor niggles as expected.
I look forward to learning alot from this site which has already provided me with invaluable insights.

Followup: Ordered a 550i in white with light upholstery. With luck, it will be reasonably reliable.
