Hi, I was thinking about buying the '02 CLK 430 from a person who is selling it for $43,000. He says it has the Platinum Package and Navigation System. It has 6,000 miles and he says is in perfect condition. Since this is my first MBZ purchase, I was wondering if anybody could explain the options to me and also the pros and cons of this car. Thanks, [

I don't know what the Platinum package is but it sounds "expensive" [

Sounds fishy though for that low of a price. Did he lose his job or something and desperately need the money. Have it checked out.

I did a search on the Platinum Package and couldn't find anything on it....Does anyone own a '02 430? If you do, can you please let me know if you have any problems with it, etc? Thanks.

I looked in my 2002 brochure for the CLK, and there's no such package listed.

I would guess that it's either some dealer-installed package, or someone at the dealer told him that one of the packages has this name. The packages are:

K3: Sunroof, pwr rear sunshade, rain sensing auto wiper

K4: Xenon headlights w/heated washers, heated front seats

K2: 6-disc CD changer, Timeport phone

K2A: K2 with voice control system for phone

Good luck!

If the car checks out, its a very good deal! I've heard "Platinum package" in reference to an non-Mercedes extended warranty. Maybe thats what it means.

I went to go see the car today....looks great, has the navigation system and integrated car phone. It doesn't have the Xenon lights, though, which I really wanted and the heated seats as well. [

]The car was in perfect condition, but the guy selling it seemed too eager to get rid of it, and it just smells fishy to me. I'm giving him a call tomorrow, but will probably bring a mechanic to check it out.
