  • Considering style, performance, comfort, drivability, and price, you show me something better. My brother is one up on me with a feature I don't have on any of my Mercedes! He scored on this low-mileage (55k) 2015 E400.

    If you have never driven or ridden in a Mercedes, you will never know how nice they are. Period.

    Wow that’s a sharp convertible! I love that your brother has himself a nice Mercedes too. And yeah, Airscarf is the neck warmer on the newer convertibles, it’s such a neat feature.

    Bought a 2003 CLK 240 Cabriolet. Cost 6500 in 2012 , kept it for summer use for 10 years .
    Absolutely loved it , had a 105,000 on the clock when I bought it , during lockdown I decided to replace all the things that needed attention.
    I fitted 4 new suspension arms , replaced the chipped windshield using my insurance.
    New front discs and pads and removed and resealed all the breathers with new breather tubes.
    It was a car I thoroughly enjoyed.
    I sold it in 2022 when we moved to the countryside outside Bath to be nearer our daughter.

    I currently own an E350 Cabriolet.. Same color combination. It's my summer fun car. Even though the trunk is small it is still large enought to get 2 sets of golf clubs in it. Unlike an SL500 I had in the past. I have to admit that the SL500 with it's air suspension was an amazing car to drive both on the highway and mountain roads. The E350 is still a pleasure and is a little more practical. The E350 replaced a CLK320 cabriolet I had prior. The E350 is much more refined. On another note I own a 1969 280SL. It only gets around 700 miles a year on it.. Mostly cars and coffee or car show events and a couple mountain drives in the nice weather. All of them are a joy to drive. My wife always says I have a big smile when driving with the top down..

    Never had a Mercedes until I retired and my wife chose a CLK convertible. We’ve toured all over Europe and UK. Eleven years on I still own it and love driving the CLK. Great car, well maintained and just fun and enjoyable to drive and own.

    i have the e500 cab, has the m273 5.5 v8. not the best mpg but who cares with the power it provides. very difficult to find a german 4 seat cab v8 these days.

    • @eastbaystreet1242
      @eastbaystreet1242 3 месяца назад +1

      Yes. That's why I grabbed my S63 Cab last year. It was very low mileage, no longer manufactured, priced at less than half of new sticker, and a dream to drive.

    I've got the Subaru part covered. Now to find just the right convertible. Clearing out the unfinished motorcycle project in the spare garage space might be an even bigger challenge than convincing the spouse to authorize the purchase.

    Dad and I share Mom's 2008 CLK 350 Sport Cabriolet since she passed on a little over three years ago. We've had the car since it was new (16 years as of this post), and though my family has always had at least one "nice" car, it's the best overall car we've ever owned. I have been using it daily for a little over a year, and it's a joy to drive. We had a 2005 CLK 500 Coupe first, and while it was very impressive performance and handling wise, this is the better everyday car, especially when you don't live in an area where the roads are always maintained well where the 500 was a little too firm. With the 7 speed transmission, the 3.5 is fast enough. The Sport variant drives a lot better in my opinion than a regular 350 I tested with her back then. We were fortunate to get the car...someone else ordered it but didn't take it for whatever reason, and it has almost all the options...its just missing the multicontour drivers seat, the ventilated seats, and the push button start. Otherwise, I think it has all factory options including the wooden steering wheel and the electric trunk opener/closer (my favorite toy on the car). Beautiful Majestic Black (in person an off black that is really a very dark blue with a lot of gray dusty type metallic) with a black roof and two-tone Ash and Black interior with Black Ash wood. I picked it out...at first I didn't know what to make of it because it was so different, and Mom passed it by at first, but I sat inside the car and really took it in and called her back and said take another look at this car...it's really different and beautiful, and after about 10 minutes she really took to it and decided it was the one for her. I appreciate it every day, and having it as Mom's favorite car makes it all the more special.

    West Lake Sammamish Pkwy is just the best road to take a MB topless Sunday drive. My choice would be the Mercedes S560 Cab for the softest ride and usable rear seats.

    This is one of the best modern Mercedes Benz body styles they made in a lond time. The new ones are nice, really really nice. But as each new model comes out unfortunately they are made with more tech and more tech means more sensors which means more money to purchase, maintain and fix. This is the same as the c class, cls class and the e class coupe. One of the few platforms that almost touches all classes of Mercedes. C207 E class coupe, A207 E class convertible, W204 C class sedan and W212 E class sedan. The interiors are basically all the same. I like this car. The only thing i notice is that you sit very low. It's definitely a sports care for sure.

    He’s not kidding. A black car they’re cool everybody wants one. But after a while after washing it so many times you actually get tired of a black car. And every damn scratch shows up on a black car. White cars silver cars these are my cup of tea

    • @eastbaystreet1242
      @eastbaystreet1242 3 месяца назад

      Agreed! I have often chosen white, silver, and champagne colored cars for this very reason. My Merc cabrio is black because my wife love the black and tan, so I am happy to wash it a bit more since it makes her happy.
