I am looking to get a used CLK 320-500. I would prefer a cabriolet.
What models/versions should I avoid? I have read about issues with the camshaft balancer, so I want to avoid those models. I have also see issues with some transmissions that go into limp mode.
I found a nice 2008 CLK350 cabriolet for about $12k, but it sold before I made a decision. There is a 2004 CLK500 cabriolet in good condition (it has had 7 owners, so that does worry me), haven't checked it out completely yet, for just under $9k. Several others under $15k for 2004-2008 various models and mileage.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
