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)

#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?
#42 of 103 Dealer Holdback on CLK's? by pkunk Jan 04, 2006 (1:33 am)
Replying to: rdubs (Dec 09, 2005 4:09 pm) Select models are subject to holdback.   Hopefully your "research" tagged that holdback is per vehicle and by that I mean each individual one on the lot.   Its just the same if you shop the clearance clothing at Nordstroms; the nicer clothes in the sizes and colors have already sold and anything on the clearance rack is sold to prevent/minimize a loss for the company.   Its too bad that there are posts here asking "Did I get a good buy?" It just shows how insecure people are about their decisions. Do you really need the reassurance from total strangers to recognize if this vehicle is meeting your wants/needs?   Ideally, you should be purchasing both a vehicle and customer service. Your salesperson is part of your ownership experience. I gladly pay a little more to know I will be taken care of when something beyond my control arises with my automobile.
#43 of 103 My lease for CLK-350 Coupe by gokhangulec Jan 16, 2006 (11:51 pm)
Hey,   I got my car today and agreed on a monthly payment of 599$ inc. taxes and w/o any other payments (0 Down Payment, inc. tax, license fees). This lease will cost me: (39*599) + Disposition fee.   It only has Premium Pack and the price is around 50K. The mileage is 15k/year and the term 39 months.   I hope this helps.
