1998 Mercedes CLK 320 Elegance for sale in dark blue with optional staggered AMG 5 hole wheels.
The car is in good condition for its age and milage, with only a few minor blemishes to the exterior. The interior is almost immaculate in dark grey over grey with only some slight wear to the steering wheel and door handle. everything works as it should with the exception of the drivers mirror which no longer adjusts up/down. Probably a simple fix but i've just lived with it.
It's been in our family for the past 5 years and has been well looked after in that time, although service history and condition would say the car has been cared for its whole life. In the time we have owned it the car has needed no major work doing, only routine servicing and new tyres. It was last serviced in Jan along with the MOT and I have been using it daily since then. It is still in use so the milage may increase slightly.
Although it is in very good condition, being 20 years old there are a few bad points:
- It will need new brake pads and discs in the near future - The brake lining wear warning has just started coming on but the pads still have around 3mm all round.
- There is a squeak/rattle coming from the exhaust. This is the foremost mounting bracket from the exhaust to the gearbox that has rusted. The exhaust itself is in good condition with no leaks, just the bracket that is rusty.
- As mentioned already, the drivers mirror does not adjust up/down
- There are signs of a previous parking scratch repair/respray on the rear bumper where the paint is cracking and coming off.
- There are a couple of small rust bubbles starting along the bottom of the doors and underneath the front grille but there are no signs of any structural rust underneath the car.
- The air con could do with re-gassing - it still works fine but does not blow as ice cold as it did 5 years ago.[/li]
Other than that it's a good example! It goes well, stops well and handles surprisingly well considering it's weight, although it's more suited to motorway cruising than switchback roads - like all Mercedes' it is incredibly comfortable.
I will be sad to see it go but with 3 other cars theres really no reason to keep it anymore. It's not a car I would have ever considered buying myself, but i've actually really enjoyed driving it and i hope whoever buys it will too!
