Great video! I own a 2002 CLK. Burgundy over gray leather! 26mpg ,cruise control, loves 85 mph. Drove from San Diego to Tampa Florida. Beautiful performance! Thanks.
Just bought a 1999 320 with a 149k on it! I'm torn though, because I think the 430 is a better looking car and probably more fun to drive! But for now, the 320 will do!
@@elioakel1759 they are known to be reliable but if your car has things need fixing can cost a lot. Big one is the Heater core in dash can leak costs 1800 or more, head gaskets bad expensive,, get a complete pre-purchase evaluation by a good independent shop the dealers no good from my experience.
@@alexis5266 It was £6500 and the cost of fuel is ok but not great because it does 33mpg. At my house we have 3 cars and mine has the highest emissions tax but I'm not sure if it's bad because I don't have much to compare it to. I can't recall the exact numbers apart from insurance which is £2800 for me
From owning one, I enjoyed it, It was my 1st Merc, beautiful build, quality with every detail. I had the same 3.2 lovely engine and will go with traction control turned off and set to sport. The steering was terrible no feeling or confidence when driving briskly. You would never want to push it there was never enough feedback. It was never made for that so I can forgive it. It was a great car but not a sports car.
I own this car now. It is so comfortable and so luxury. My 1st mercedes ( I'm still a college student). It's definitely a sport car. I also have a 2001 Volvo c70 2.3 T5, and comparing them is bi difference. C70 is like a race car compared to clk. CLK is like boss car , luxury as hell and with good sound and good performance.
Nice to see a review of my car when it was new! Even nicer that after a quarter of a century, my CLK 320 convertible is still an excellent and reliable daily driver.
later we discovered water enters somehow inside the cars and collects under the passenger feet, the car drifts when it rains. and there is no way to avoid it if you push gas in a curve ... and rust and more rust and again much more rust... still a great car. i love my 320. it have no rust and it is a wonder.
I own a 2000 clk 320 convertible and the doors are designed to be snug so no rain water gets into the cabin, but once the top is down the doors close very easily. I like the fact that they are air tight and need an extra push to close.
@@alantriplett304After early 2000, the windows automatically went down a bit when opening and closing the doors. Mine was built just before that and despite having to slam the doors shut, they are amazingly waterproof for a 25 y/o convertible. Even after a car wash everything‘s dry inside.
@@jajamuc Mine is the same, no water ever gets into the interior and the windows work great. I like my 2000 clk convertible, it has 129,000 km and it has had no motor troubles and no major repairs to the electrical system. It has been very reliable. Thanks for the comment !!
@@shameshotproduction i bought a e280 with a lpg for 2100€, i owned it over a year, i liked the ride and the engine and transmission were alright, its a good car for german autobahn , but i had so many things to fix, i spend over 2000€ to fix certain things like spark plugs, engine mounts, new tires, air conditioning condenser, also i swap engine oil, transmission oil, then finally i needed new TÜV for the car, so they checked my car and told me i have a leaking engine, my transmission is leaking, i need to swap all breaks, the spring dome is rusted, my mechanic told me, he could fix some of those thing for 1400€ and the leaks could maybe cost even more , he said that i should get rid of the car, that it isn't worth it, maybe in one year it would have started to rust more
@@MrBlonde294 Yeah you have to really like the car to keep it. For a non AMG merc it’s not worth it. For a CLK55 AMG it’s worth it in my opinion. Depends on your situation, you could almost finance a new car for what it costs to keep the thing on the road long term.
Great video! I own a 2002 CLK.

BUY ONE NOW...AS THEY ARE FINALLY GOING UP IN VALUE FOR THE BEST ONES WITH LOW MILES....I MEAN IT IS NOW A MODERN CLASSIC

@@jamescox1806The 430 looks the same.
Bought today a 320 2001. Its such a beautiful car
Love my clk had it since 2000. Drives smooth, well balanced and super reliable.
Curtiss Harris is yours rusty?
@@spamacc7590 no cars dont rust here
I am planing to buy one in 2021 does it have any major problems? Have you ever had tp swap the engine or transmission?

Are you gypsie from Romania?😂
i just got a clk 320 2002, rides like a dream, had it for about 6 months, thank God no major malfunctions.
Hi Gene. I'm looking at a 2003 320. How has yours been going? LG.
I will do whatever it takes to have that as my first car
are you willing to give up the booty?
@@deathrager2404 I've got one now but it's not a 1998 it's a 2009
How are the driving costs? What kind of price did you pay for? Thanks in advance!

Just got a CLK 55 AMG it's so nice and fast for what it is
Bought mine CLK 230 kompressor 4 days ago. .I simply love it
4 years later since you made that comment, do you still love it and is it still going strong?
Yeah, that would be interesting - I plan to get one next week ^^
PierreShark 6 years now, I’d like to know as well. Are the clk200 reliable? Thanks

100% true on the steering. V6 is the best part of this car.

that one wiper is exelent, don't shit about it
nikola lasta hell yeah it is, im just Loving it
Yes the one wiper on my e class was ace
Yes and cool as ever!

So funnt at the end she says...IT WILL COST MORE THAN YOUR HOUSE DID.....for 45k today is...hmmm...a cardboard box under a motorway flyover.
Awesome car for a daily driver still in 2018. Electronic key may fail and need replacing.
Mine is still the original one from 23 years ago and it has never failed and will probably never fail.
About to buy a clk 320 next week🤩
Off course nowadays many old guys drive an old first gen CLK.
Just bought a CLK 320 its amazing other than the fact i need a new motor mount bracket :/
I have a clk fully loaded w208 with Amg body kit convertible
But 2002 or 2003
later we discovered water enters somehow inside the cars and collects under the passenger feet, the car drifts when it rains. and there is no way to avoid it if you push gas in a curve ... and rust and more rust and again much more rust...
still a great car. i love my 320. it have no rust and it is a wonder.
Check if the sun roof drain passages are blocked if you have one. May be the cause of water in the cabin
@@1mouseman it's this
👍
Plenum area
Luckly rust is quite easy to fix
Love mine
I might buy an CLK in near future!

Great Car! I love mine
Automatic gearbox of CLK320 is not problematic?
No it's actually rather reliable but it does need to be serviced, if there are any issues most likely related to the speed sensors or the TCM
what color blue is that?
Tanzanite blue
i love the w208 clk better than the next one shit w209
Don't shit on the C209(It's a coupe...), the C208 was more of a GT cruiser/musclecar while the C209 was more of a Sport's car
nice, not that "i know everything" hosts attitude nowadays
Crazy how many ppl don't know the difference between a V6 and inline 6.. it has an INLINE 6
Wrong. It’s a V6. Trust me, I have one.
Dude, it’s a V6, what are you talking about
I can confirm that it has a V6 and that you are uninformed.
M112 V6, an engine that is in the running for most reliable engine Mercedes-Benz ever produced. The M113 V8 was even based on it.
@@ftffighter Agreed. This thing is indestructible if well maintained. Better than any of the inline 6s. Even smoother in my opinion.
0:20 - Pretty face; blokes hands!
MERCEDES BENZ CLK 320 MAX SPEED
It's not if you have the normal 320 its 240 and the 320 sport with 6 speed 260
6:24 WTF IS THAT, a fucking Helikopter? AHHAHAHA
5:13 xD
the rust is for free!
It's an expensive car overall, if a few thousand for a paint resto is too much then its not the right car for you.
