Thanks everyone for looking and bidding. I'm going to miss this car, I get a lot of positive attention from this car. I've seen exactly one other Magma Red CLK since I've owned it, not very common in this color. I spent a lot of time maintaining this car, maintain it and it will last forever.@skarthur thank you! I actually am on the market for an r129 but similar to you I couldn't pass it up at this price. One of my favorites as a child. Good luck on your hunt for a sedan or wagon!Congrats, great car at a great price. I would have loved to keep bidding but I'm actually in the market for a wagon or sedan. At those prices I had to try though.$5,250 bid placed by @Avetis626

Magma on a V8 W208 is awesome. The wheels are a nice upgrade. It being a pre-facelift is great too. They just used nicer interior materials on these compared to the older cars. Good luck. I miss my CLK430 a lot. I logged about 40k miles on that car and it only went through rear tires and had a CPS go bad. It's really is the Camry of Mercedes-Benz but with a ton of character.No rubbing with the wheels. Fenders are stock and not rolled, you can do full lock on the steering wheel and no rub. All electronics work, AC blows cold, regularly gets well over 100 where I live and my kids complain the AC is too cold. Sunroof works, however it does lose it's memory at times, you do the reset process and it opens can closes again, common issue.Do absolutely all of the electronics work as intended? Sunroof, rear sun blind, A/C, stereo, etc?Any issues resulting from the larger than stock wheels and lowering springs? Rubbing, etc?Love the look. The wheels and color combo make it timeless$2,000 bid placed by @Sandcollector1

I love the 4.3 M113 V8, in the W210 E Class it pulls effortlessly, in this smaller chasis I bet it's a lot of fun. Great looking color combo, and the Carlsson wheels add some period correct flair. Good luck with the auction.$1,500 bid placed by @Britalia
Hi @arpazi, I have no checked the rear main seal for leaks, but I do check fluid levels at each oil change, oil level is consistent with previous refill levels.@Seller This is a good looking coupe (LOVE the Carlssons btw). Have you checked the rear main seal for seeps and leaks?$1,000 bid placed by @arpazi
Not for me overall As a v6 ✔️ 2 seater average use Oversized rims small rubber bands as tyres, more a kids car High mileage might sizzle some as the 8 would be best as a 10 cyl ✔️✔️✔️ Leather colour is a big hand brake to me.X As is the awful dash in these models X I do know how useless the back lighting is.X I have one of this model as a 6 cyl ✔️ Merc needs to do a serious overhaul if there dash configurations X bmw lead the way there ✔️
