Mercedes-Benz CLK (2006 and newer)

Re: hi [ms09]

Written by: benztuner on Jun 07, 2007 08:24 PM

Mercedes Benz generations. Mercedes-Benz has learned its lesson. The W107 SL was sold for nearly 20 years, the car's exterior was changed VERY LITTLE, imagine having the same basic SL for that long with only moldings being changed. Those days are gone. In the early 2000's, 01-02 Mercedes-Benz released a press release saying that from now on, Mercedes Benz would ... Read More...

C230K Squeaking Sky Roof

Written by: bobeberhardt on Feb 18, 2003 08:40 PM

Took my C230K into the dealer tonight for repair of the squeaking skyroof. As usual, the sunroof squeaked constantly all the way into the dealer. I have never seen anything like it. My 8 year old C280 Benz is still solid as a rock with no squeaks or rattles and this one from the very first drive home squeaks so much it drives you up the wall. You would think the whole chassis ... Read More...

Yes, I also own a 2000 ML320 which now has 33,000 trouble-free miles. Only thing that I have needed to replace were two headlamp bulbs and a brakelamp bulb. Original brakes and tires (tires look like they will last to 50,000 miles). Unlike most, who complain about ML quality mine is near perfect. The 1998's and 1999's have had their issues but I would say that since ... Read More...

I totally agree with you that the best modification you can make is to your driving skills. We were actually talking about this on the 3 Series board yesterday. Remember our friend Jeremy that had a newish (2000 or 2001) Jetta and was looking to upgrade to a c230 Coupe, but has debt and horrible credit? I guess he took our advice in that we told him not to buy a Mercedes, ... Read More...

C230 Coupe

Written by: nyccarguy on May 13, 2002 07:01 AM

Huntzinger: You've made some excellent points as always. I agree with you that the old saying "different strokes for different folks" holds true especially when it comes to cars. There's one thing you didn't mention about the Mercedes as a positive attribute: RWD. Both the C Coupe and RSX Type S were on my shortlist to replace my 2000 Saab 9-3. I drove both and bought ...

Phoenix purchase of C-230 goes very smoothly -- and quickly.

Written by: pnd2 on Dec 18, 2001 11:03 AM

This week I took delivery of my C-230 Sports Coupe here in Phoenix. I highly recommend the dealership -- Schumacher European of Scottsdale -- as well as my salesperson, Dianne Hamilton. I was treated professionally, with great respect and courtesy. There was no pressure of any kind. I was able to test drive the car in a variety of driving conditions. She was as ... Read More...

Tele-aid and lo-jack

Written by: jjpeter on Nov 06, 2001 08:03 PM

We just took deliver of our C230 coupe two weeks ago. Here is the deal on Tele-aid. Expensive! $750 to install and activate. Only half an hour of free talk time the first year, then something like .40 a minute there after, for the first year. Year two: $200+ to extend service, no free time, each call starts the clock. This is basically for hand holding if you can't figure ... Read More...
