I have a 1999 clk320 convertible, and my wife loves it. It's her daily driver, 177,000 miles we've put on it since new. Engine is very peppy, handling is great, especially in the curves. Check the air conditioning diagnostics -do a search - our unit is no longer blowing ice cold, even after I just replaced the duo valve; apparently failures are not uncommon after 10-12 years. Also check for oil leaking from valve cover gaskets and oil pressure port [on front of the engine, below and to the left of the oil filter housing].
