    Fast, Smooth and Quiet.

    Great car, very fast, smooth, and quiet. Long doors can be hard to get out in a parking lot. The only thing I have a problem with is the electrics, setting the clock time, or resetting mileage. The car's phone is also out of date, and not usable.

    Brand new to me

    My wife and I have been looking for a 4 seat convertible for some time now. This car checked so many boxes for us, some we didn't even know we wanted. We wanted something somewhat unique, low miles (38,000), comfortable, not slow :-) This car is WAY more luxurious than we thought we would want but it grows on you. For the price we paid it is simply a fantastic car. I have trouble believing it is 17 years old. So far so very good.

    Overall a great vehicle.

    I’ve owned this CLK 500 for a few years now. It’s been a great car. Aside from a few normal repairs, it’s been very reliable. The best thing is that it’s a WOLF in sheep’s clothing. The 5.0L V-8 puts out a lot of horsepower for a car this size. It’s a real rocket when you need it. Plus for simply touring on the highway, it’s one of the most comfortable and fun cars I’ve ever owned. I love it!

    Great bang for your buck

    Very fast and handles like a race car. Exterior looks exotic and get many compliments. Interior is very comfortable and luxurious. It’s a good sports car with benefits of luxury blended in.

    Excellent value for a pre-owned car.

    A true hardtop with no B pillar, great legroom in front if you're tall, back seats fold down for surprising utility, V6 returns 27-30 mpg.
