Shot the first shot at my house, then went to a friends for a chance to back off the car more than 3 feet for a few more shots. (tight driveway here)

It's a CLK430 60k-ish miles. Drives nicely, gonna add some HID's, a little drop, and a lip spoiler to it.

I love this car. Love the styling more than the new CLK. GREAT CHOICE!

I still love this car. This was what I was originally going to get but the dealers paid me no mind. So I left and went to the Lex dealer and bought the GS.:thumbup:

Yeah I had the choice between this and the new body (only a year apart) and chose this one. Liked it ten times better. :) The best part is no car payment :):)

Thanks

Congrats!! The W208 was a great body. Still looks good today esp in silver, Black or that sick Black Opal. I was considering one while shopping for the SC430. Fell in love with the Cab the first time I saw it. Now you just gotta upgrade and get the MB blinkers on your mirror. Looks good and a great safety feature. Beware of the known gremilns on that Benz. Good luck and enjoy!:thumbup:

Great looking CLK. My wife had one for 2 years and it gave us nothing but trouble. Check the harmonic balancer. Computer burns out alot. Lots of electrical problems. Thank goodness we had a extended warranty when we purchased it. But it just spent too much time in the shop. Traded it in for 06 GX470. I have some 18" Kaiser Phazer rims w/ Tires that came off ours I am willing to sell.:D

what you have mentioned was recalled. Infact this car was in the service today JUST (only) for an inspection and the harmonic balancer was already replaced under the recall as well as a few other things. :) tks for the heads up :)

WOW.. How many cars is that 7,8,9????? Just curious, what do you do for a living?
I really like it. I don't know much about MBs but it looks like a great car. Good choice
