I'm looking at an 07 Mercedes CLK.

I am looking at a '07 Mercedes CLK200 Kompressor for approx. EUR 7.5k - very clean. However, it has 141,000 miles. What are your thoughts on the high mileage and price please?

Our answer:

Hi Kester,

Be very careful. The mileage itself isn’t excessive, but the problem is that Mercs of that era were dreadfully unreliable with everything from brakes to engines to suspension to all the electronics on the suspect list. Have it inspected by an expert, impartial third party and don’t buy it if it doesn’t have a full and complete service history.
