Comfortable stylish Mercedes

I've owned this car for 10 years it's been very reliable and a comfortable car. The styling is still eye catching and I get complements about it still today. This is an excellent car for someone looking for affordable reliable transportation.

Cup holders

For the people who say there is only one cup holder on the 2005 CLK 320, there are actually three cup holders in this car. Pull down the arm rest in the back seat. Push in the front, wide, thin bar in the arm rest. A set of cup holders will have pop out. These cup holders are easily accessed by the passenger while the driver is driving. No need to hold onto your drink. Obviously if you carry three passengers, one will have to hold onto their drink. Love this car! It has been in our family for fourteen years now and runs and looks great. Mercedes needs to bring this car back to the US! I will be moving to Hawaii later this year and this is the car that I will take with me. I will sell and leave the SL550 behind- which is also a terrific car.

I love this car!

I sold this car to my daughter after she graduated from law school. I bought it back four years later. Couldn’t be happier! It still runs like new.

Mercedes convertible

The styling is classic on the 2005 MB CLK320, and it is a fun car to drive. It turns heads. Convertibles are made for California

The most fun car I ever owned

I purchased one of these new, Having owned a lot of different sports cars over the years .on a trip to Germany we were loaned a 05 SLK-350 and loved it .returning to the US we decided to Purchase The CLK-320 because it was larger had more trunk space and was much more comfortable for long trips, the more we drove it the more we fell in love with it cruising down the road with top up or down it makes you feel like you own the road - Maintenance is fairly simple and it's reliability is great . we loved this so much we ended up purchasing two more 05's with very low mileage. the original now has 144K looks and runs great has over the last 14 years has not needed any excessive repairs but most of all I never get tired of driving them even thought they are getting old they still look classy and with the top down people still look and comment "NICE CAR"

2005 clk500 AMG Mercedes convertible

This has been a great car, fun to drive with the top down and wind in our hair. But at age 80 it is time to slow down and smell the roses.
