#33 of 103 Used 2003 CLK500 by gpt222 Nov 05, 2005 (5:58 pm)
Just bought a used 2003 CLK500 with date of first registration 02/04 (23K mileage)which means that warranty and scheduled maintenance of another 28 months is included. Xenon, heated seats, but no keyless go or navigation. Price was 36,900. I am wondering if anyone else who drives a the clk500 is also experiencing a slight pull or lack of directional stability. I suspexct that the 225/45 and 245/40 factory installed tires have something to do with it - depending on the depth of the bumps or potholes, one definetely feels the pull in the steering wheel. Just curious if anyone has a view on this - may be re-alignment or rotating tires. Replies to this message: lovemyclk (Nov 14, 2005 9:36 pm)

Replying to: gpt222 (Nov 05, 2005 5:58 pm) You may want to verify air pressure in your tires. If one of the front tires is low, it may cause the slight pull you refer to.
#36 of 103 Help Please!!!!! by elaynesc Nov 18, 2005 (7:18 am)
Every time I put my CLK in park the engine starts to rev. Does anyone recognise this problem? Thanks Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 18, 2005 3:52 pm)

Replying to: elaynesc (Nov 18, 2005 7:18 am) I know your car isn't a C-class.. but, since it shares many of the same mechanicals, you might have a better chance of getting an answer here:   Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Problems & Solutions   regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums
#39 of 103 Dealer Holdback on CLK's? by rdubs Dec 09, 2005 (4:09 pm)
Hi everyone,   Anyone know for sure if Mercedes dealers get holdbacks on all models they sell, or is it just selected ones (similar to rebates)?   I recently negotiated the price on a CLK350. The research I did showed Mercedes gets a 3% holdback on all its models, and there are factory->dealer rebates on models on some models in addition (none for the CLK). Anyway, when I was talking to the guy I indirectly referred to the dealership's cost being lower than invoice (i.e., holdback) but he seemed to indicate no further cost reductions below invoice applied. Anyway I took his word for it and after we agreed on a price (based on no holdback) I regretted it.   If there isn't a holdback on some models, I think I did well, but it looks like the holdback is irrespective of the model. Anyone know for sure?   Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: pkunk (Jan 04, 2006 1:33 am)
#41 of 103 just got a dream car by dluk Dec 27, 2005 (9:53 am)
I just took delivery of a 2004 Black Opal CLK500 two weeks ago. 22k miles, great condition, paid $38k. I think I got a great deal on the price and the car is just intoxicating to drive!   It is an absolute rocketship on the highway, and quite capable in the twists. It was also a delight on the highway for my long Xmas drive to my parents house.   My only complaints are a bunch of niggling issues in the interior (it's no japanese car when it comes to little things going wrong) - i.e. the cupholder doesn't slide out, the glovebox doesn't close without a firm and inelegant smack, the passenger vanity mirror light doesnt' work, etc.   A couple of bigger issues that I'd welcome people's opinions on: (1) the engine makes a weird noise at idle, which I've read is normal for this car, and (2) the transmission seems to sometimes upshift way too early under part-throttle acceleration and/or coming out of a turn, to the point where it feels unnatural. This scares me a bit but also might be that I'm used to having full control of a manual. Hopefully the adaptive transmission will un-learn this behavior?
