Dear CLK owners~~~
I am thinking about getting used CLK 2001 or 2002. The budget is around $18,000 - $20,000. I never got used car before so I am little cautious about it, I mean who wouldn't, right? ^^
Currently, I own Audi A4, and I never owned Mercedes before. Is it good idea to get used CLK?
Also is it better to get it from the actual Mercede's dealer? They called it pre-certified.
Give me some tips CLK owner !!
Thanks!!!
PS. What is MPG for 320, 430 and CLK 55?

Mercedes in general have among the WORST reliablity ratings of any car out there. They also have among the highest repair costs.
As I own 3 Audis, I'd stick with what you've got. One of them has 270k on the clock, and neither the engine nor tranny have ever been opened.

Pick up a Consumer Reports, reliability is awful. Chrysler came in and they cranked out a lot of new cars in a short time. This meant it took a few model years to work out the kinks in the design. They are expensive to fix and insure as well. And I don't know if you have ever sat in one, but they are really cramped inside. Get a BMW if you have your heart set on a convertible.
