Mercedes-Benz CLK320 141k with full service history, mainly main dealer MOT until November with no advisories 2 owner car from new. First owner from 7th January 2000-2010. Second owner from 2010 to present. All original handbooks etc present. Very high spec car. Electric everything. Windows, mirrors, seats etc etc. Factory-fitted sat nav. Facility for TV, but will need a digital tuner. Heated leather seats, rear parking sensors, keyless entry (with all 3 original keys including the plastic one) CD player etc etc. The car drives beautifully. Really picks up its feet and goes too and is silky smooth. From the cockpit it really does feel special. The CLK's achilles heel is usually rust and this one is no exception. Structurally, it is absolutely 100%, but there is cosmetic rust. The front wings could ideally do with replacing (the most common point for rust on these). They're a bolt-on panel, so not an issue really. The bonnet has gone on the front edge too. These could be sourced from a breakers or you can get decent quality insurance-approved pattern parts for a reasonable price. There is also rust on the rear arches and the bottom edges of the doors. Nothing horrendous, but would be a very handsome car with them sorted. Obviously, we are a bodyshop so can sort these issues and happy to do anyone a special deal who wants the car and then wants them sorted, but thought I would offer someone a special car at a very low price and if they can sort the cosmetics themselves. Needs to be driven to be fully appreciated. One quick snapshot taken just now. More photos to follow £675 firm Car is with us in Bridgnorth, Shropshire

I've been driving this car for the past couple of days and it's absolutely superb. Have had and worked on so many CLKs and never seen one with anything like this spec and drives spot on too. Such a great, unique colour too.
Full Service history and last service 5k ago by an MB approved service centre.
We're on a large, private industrial estate with plenty of private road, so anyone is welcome to come and try it for themselves.

Took this out again at the weekend. Will make such a great car for someone who can give it the TLC on the outside!
Bump!

I agree with you pal, I have a mapped w210 CDI 320 which is auto and my daily which I love.. However I'm literally just after a c320 manual gearbox for my new Mercedes v8 build. There's also nothing wrong with my manual c230 either: post a pictureThe 'handbrake' did need changing for a concentional Hydro though !

How much would you charge to fix the rusty bits? Apologies, I missed this post previously. For paint, materials and labour to make the exterior mint, it would be £800. Panels required would be a new bonnet, two front wings and a Passengers door. I've seen decent second hand bonnets and doors on eBay for £60 and £45 respectively. We can get decent-quality insurance-approved pattern part wings for £240 per pair. Then to make it mint, we would fit and align the new panels obviously, repaint both sides and bonnet. Would also refurbish the alloys too to finish it off. Cheers Mike

Dropped the price as I could do with this out of the way.
This price is firm though. Incredible car for the money. Drives like a dream and has so much kit! (All of which works!)
Worth it just to drive as it is, but in the mechanical condition it is in and with the history and all original features it is well worth scouring the breakers for decent replacement panels and saving!

My daily driver C5 might be about to be written off. Usual potential faffing applies, so this post is more "if anyone is sitting on the fence, get your in gear and beat me to it" - if it's done and paid up and this is still for sale then I'll be in touch to arrange viewing/buying/etc. V6, ortho seats, nice colour... this is like getting a Capri 2.8i Special in the mid '90s to my mind! Any history on gearbox service, btw? Only bit of these that worries me, not because they're bad to sort but I don't need more headaches My last W210 had a failed contact plate at 112K miles and my SLK just started acting up - neither car had history of ATF changes. I'll buy it on the condition I see, obviously, but it gives peace of mind. Picture of the cap on the gearbox filler tube (no dipstick on these) will give an indicator if it's had attention. Feel free to PM me, but I'm not on RR often.

Also, if you're a bodyshop and I get the C5 back - 2009 C5 Exclusive Tourer, high spec, high miles manual (179K). Front wing, bumper, headlight. Otherwise was in great condition. Might be worth fixing for someone with the skills with paint, but I won't know until they give me a full report; I'd be up for a deal if you thought you could make money on it, purely so I could solve the logistics of collecting a car.

Awesome. I am guessing that anyone who has shown an interest will now be moving swiftly to take it off your hands, but if not, the moment I know what's happening with my C5 I'll be in touch. I mean, 2017's gotta have SOME good luck for me, right?
