Just bought one of these for £2500, totally original spec long MOT, 156K Miles and wears it well. Guy didn't mention in his ad that it had full service history ( up to date with bills ) and didn't even mention it has the full command system nav etc , has had new charger coupling and pulley rebuild in the last year too ..cost ££££. Had to travel from Kent to near enough Scunthorpe but was well worth it - This thing is a rocket ship when at full chat. What does everyone think of these ? does anyone know of problems ? Cheers Ian

Was looking at these a while back.

Think there is an issue with some electrical connector to the autobox which corrodes/snaps. Think also radiators can be dodgy. Would check them both out yours being a higher mileage.

Cheers Nickso, I know about the radiator issue, mixing Trans fluid / water ( mines fine thus far ) but the connector issues a new one on me. I'll search it.

I like these a lot, any pics :D Tempted by a CLK 500 too, both cars are a lot more modern than anything I've ever owned though, so I'm guessing much more potential for electrical gremlins :?

Cheers Guys, it is a rocket ship, one minute you can barely hear the engine, next thing foot down and the horses of the apocolyps are thundering down the road. For A / B road overtaking it's brilliant, and i suspect if i am not careful a real licence loser :mad:
Does anyone know which picture hosting site is easiest to use ? I know photobucket is total gash.
