Just got my first Mercedes, a CLK500. First V8 too. In love.
Cool, enjoy!
I have just bought a 53 clk 500 with 70k miles on the clock. If you are interested i will keep you informed.
Interestingly the only time it failed inspection was for a passenger side seat belt buckle.
Sounds great! Interesting coincidence!
Thanks for the detailed owner's review of the car. I'm thinking about buying one tomorrow and you just made me feel more confident to do it.
Glad I could help! Enjoy.
Very good car!!! Since 2017 I have one built in 2003 in Elegance trim, tanzanite blue and with light tan leathers inside. For enthusiastic driving you need to keep pushing for a while because of 5Gtronic transmission adjusting/learnig ability. It would be nice to have this faster gear changing on higher revs behind some button. It is pretty fast car not only on the strights. On twisties it rolls to some limit but it stays absolutely stable and with proper gas operation you can keep the pace of pretty sporty and newer cars. The best experience, however, is cruising with all windows down during nice warm day. It is going to stay for a longer time with me.
Just got a clk500 black love so far got a 2011 5.0 too both so similar and different. Enjoy your vids man
Thanks for watching
2011??? Theres no such year model CLK
1:52 “cuts down on glare from headlights from rear “
I would have thought this model would have the auto dimming rear view mirror and wing mirrors.
Mine does ( in the UK)
Yes, it does have these features, however, here in Canada the brightness of the headlamps (particularly from pick-up trucks) are insanely, blindingly bright, especially as they beam straight into the back window. I think the industry needs to address this. Thanks for watching.
excellent video sir. nice to hear these details
Thanks for watching.
Only 50K km away from your first high mileage badge! Congrats!
Thank you for watching. Is that a thing or a good humurous quip?
@@llarose it used to actually be a real thing,but not anymore if i remember correctly
Love it! I need one asap
Great car. Underrated.
what type of infotainment display is that? looking for something similar in my 2005 clk320. thanks in advance.
This multi media gear is great, and has transformed the stock system into a modern marvel. Michael there is a wizard with all accessories for any car. I've been seeing him for over 10 years with about 9 different cars. embarrassingly, I have no idea the brand, but I can give you the website of the provider/installer: (In Vancouver, Canada) www.sanseauto.com/
What year is You're mercedes
The first year for the new model: 2003
