I was given a price for a 2006 CLK 350, Navigation System, IPOD, 6 Disc CD, MSRP Approx $52,000. $3,000 Cap Cost Reduction. $495 Per Month. Does that sound like a good deal?

Warning about the CLK 320 by spencerk

I have this car for 1 year and would not recommend it. First the car is a death trap in snow or icy conditions, simply does not handle well or easily gets stuck. The tires are not designed to last very long as they are racing tires with a 8 - 11K mileage use. You will be replacing them over and over during the life of the car like no other car you have ever own. I got that directly from the service manager of the Mercedes dealership. There is only one cup holder and it is inconvient for the driver, the radio has lots of static and just mediocre at best, and at least with my dealership in Huntington, Long Island, they never have the parts in stock when I have a problem. Going back to Lexus next time, far superior cars.

I don't understand what are complaining about. Racing tires are soft and don't last long. Racing tires were not made for the snow. One cup holder, its a small car, not meant for all your beer buddies. Not having parts, get in line, there are other people who have problems too. Drive a Lexus, not as safe as a Mercedes. Next time do your research. If you did, you wouldn't be complaining. Mercedes doesn't rank #28 on JD Powers for nothing.

I, too have had a CLK320 for about a year. Previously had a BMW 330i. Agree with your comments re:icy conditions. When there is the odor of snow I just leave the car home and use my wife's SUV. I've heard of tire problems from other owners, but that has not been my experience. The cup holder is a non-issue for me. The interior is plush and functional. I love the navigation system, which was an afterthought when I got the car, but now it is indispensible. I've had a couple of minor electrical glitches which were promptly fixed with readily available parts. The car handles reasonably well and is fun to drive, but I acknowledge it is not a true sports car drive like the BMW.

I hope you can help me , I am looking at a 2002 CLK320, perfect condition, got car fax on it, clean no issues. The dealship wanted 23,900, we are now at 21,900, it has 42,000 miles I have to purchase an extended warranty for it, Cost $1800.00. I took a test drive and noticed it does not have a CD player or Tape player. How do I find out how much one will cost so I can negotiate the $$ more.I really cannot spend more than 23,000 for a used vehicle at this time. I did not think that a CD & tape player was an option. Also what is your thought of buying a vehicle out of state?

Finding New CLK 350 by jonsig

Does anyone know how I can search new car inventory of dealerships throughout the states? I'm working with a dealership that says that they have found 3 cars west of the Mississippi that have the options I'm looking for. The fees are pretty high to get the car shipped to the dealership and I'd like to enquire about buying the car directly then either driving back myself or having it shiped but I have no idea how to find the cars. Thoughts?

saw you post, just curious how long it took to finally get yours. I'm planning to order one, just wondered if the dealer had a formal order form document when you placed your order. I've been given a build spec document with hand written details about the quoted price. just wondering if this is normal.
 
thanks in advance for your response

Customs Policy by changed

Does anyone know what the customs policy is for shipping a car back to the States? I just bought a CLK350 in Germany and will be moving to MD in the summer but I wasn't sure of what taxes to expect when the car is imported back. A web site would help as well.

CLK 350 My experience by akaleg08

Hello All,
I am reposting my post from another thread about my new CLK 350.
I am proud new owner of a Cadet Blue Mercedes Benz CLK 350 with the Performance package(Sun roof- 6 disk cd changer and much much more) and wood grain steering wheel. I am so excited and believe that I got a good deal.
Initially I went for the $439 per month for 27 months deal. The catch with this deal is the money that has to be put down( almost $4000 and the millage allowance is 10K per year. For me that wouldn't work. So I opted for 39 months /12Kmiles for 599 per month(plus tax)and I only had to pay $2500 DOD. I got this deal from Mercedes Benz of Buckhead in Atlanta GA. Keep in mind that you must lease through Mercedes Benz Financial and have a Tier 1 credit score to get most of these deals.
