Na, not really my CLK430 has been the best ride I've ever had. I love it and I've enjoyed the miles. It's never needed anything but normal maintence. Hope it lasts a lot longer! it will for sure, it's been picture perfect so far.

How long were you rolling to get that? A few trips around the block perhaps?

That's very rare especially for that vintage. Might be worth holding on to, sounds like a great car.

Yes and probably the brake lights are burned out and suspension squeeks when cold, etc. lol

I have one of the most reliable Benz's in recent history and it's reliability/quality is average at best, still a very nice sport sedan fortunately.

I don't think we hear enough about the reliable examples of vehicles like this. All we hear about are the ones that are junk.

Good job and I hope she gives you 100k more.
