A wonderful vehicle - CLK35o Cabroliet

By holdenta (TX) on Friday, April 05, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 52,000

Pros: "Outstanding vehicle"

Cons: "None other than cost for those concerned"

"I purchased the vehicle last year and really love it. Unfortently I am working out of state so my wife gets to enjoy it all the time and I only drive it during my short visits. It is pure luxury and I can say that clearly since I was driving a Jaguar prior to that. Living in Houston, TX we get to have the top down a lot. If anyone wants a wonderful car this is the one."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"I bought this car a year ago and I have put 15,000 miles on it. I'm the type to use the features of a convertible more than most. I drive it with the top down as often as I can and it's a lot of fun. I really think it's a car that looks best when a beautiful girl is behind the wheel but as a guy, I think the black on black model looks the most masculine. Handles well, lots of power, average gas mileage, no real service issues but I hear that there are 2 types of transmissions between 04 and 09 and the one with the problems is the type 9. Mine has the type 7 apparently (according to the dealer) so it had no problems. Strong car that holds it's value as do most convertible models."

My Mercedes CLK550 experience

By Jon on Tuesday, February 12, 2013

I owned and sold this car
Reason: It was time for something new - My approximate mileage is 49,500

Pros: "FASSSSST, V8, good looks, fun to drive"

Cons: "Little bit of a pain to get to rear seats"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7

"I bought my 2007 Mercedes CLK550 new at the very end of 2006. It was white with tan premium leather. I got heated front seats, premium sound, premium package 1 and XM radio. I sold it December, 2012 and bought a 2012 GL550. I miss the convertible a lot! I miss going from 0-60 in 5 seconds! The CLK550 has some engine! 5.5 liter V8 engine with I think just under 400 HP!!!!! The car lost value fairly quick, I paid about $68,000 for this car and when I traded it for my '12 GL550 I only got about $23,000. That's only 1/3 of the value and the car was only 5 years old (5 and a half now, I think). I got 1/3 of the value back on another one of my old cars that was 9 years old. I'm just getting 1/3 and this car is 5 years old. It was a great car! I wish it was slightly easier to get to the back but, I learned to deal with it. I think this car would be a good extra summer car for me. I might consider buying it back from the dealer to keep as an extra car along with my GL550. Oh well."
