I bought my CLK 500 2005, in 2017, for $3,500 its in great shape, low miles, no damage interior and exterior. I love my
I just got one of these with 162.00miles on it. Still terrifyingly quick.
To our knowledge the CLK500 Convertible was available through the 2006 model year, replaced by the CLK550 for 2007. Thanks for the comment!
Dude you were so much more chill in this old video than in your latest ones. Good solid review 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video. It was informative and made me decide to purchase one.
He could have lowered the roof and tell what's it like to drive.. I own a USspec model CLK350 convertible, that was never exported out of Germany. Now it lives with me in Amsterdam. I think the v6 offers enough power but has way better gasmilage than the 500. In europe they also sold the 280 smaller v6 but most models have the 1.8 4 cilinder compressor engine. I like the sound of the v6 much better. Now, for open top driving, this car is very comfortable as well. You can do 60 miles an hour all day long with the roof down, but sit in the backseat and 30 is max, because the wind will really get you there.
One of the things that caused me to buy the same car as this (even the same color and trim!) was this test drive! Awesome job!
This is my car. I love it.
Thank you! You made an excellent choice on this one.
7 years Later I bought this exact model with 100,000 miles for 4000. Great car motor is still strong.
a good review for old car
Great video Thanks for the insights and test drive.
Thanks mate
Great Video AND those CLK 500 Convertible ( be sure to buy a 7g Tronic ) will skyrocket in price, comfort and sport in the BEST combination
i have the same car i adore it
Is there a better audio-nav system that can fit in without making it look aftermarket?
I have fallen in love with my clk350. It is very solidly built. I was a little hesitant giving up a 5.2L for a 3.5L. Living in the city the mpg are awesome with the 350 I get 23 in town and 30 on the highway. It had great power off the line and around town. The 500 and 550 are great for moving quick. I am mostly sitting in stopped to 30 mph traffic so the v6 is just super. All so the maintenance costs and are very reasonable with the 6 opposed to the 8.
The 2006 mustang gt was over 4,000LBS and no one complained!
if you want a good interior on the cheap, look into the e500 instead of the clk500. it's less pretty on the outside but just as good if not better interior, it tends to be more reliable too
Why do you say the boxster isn't a joy to drive at slow speeds ? I'm actually looking at both cars as a potential purchase within 90 days certainly and while I really like the boxster I'm afraid of it being too rough on my 60 yo neck. So now to see you mention it not being a joy to drive at slow speeds please explain.
