The Appeal

If you’ve been looking seeking a cabriolet for the summer, you really should take a close look at this Mercedes.

Built in 2006, this CLK is a second-generation car which was launched in 2002 with production running through to 2010.

It’s only on it’s second owner from new and has been exceptionally well looked after.
From its full leather black interior, super smooth 3 litre V6 petrol engine, automatic gearbox through to its beautiful alloy wheels, these CLKs just ooze style and sophistication.

Look carefully, you’ll struggle to find another one as clean as this one.

The History & Paperwork

  • First registered on the 25th of April 2006 by Mercedes-Benz of Carlisle
  • Only one previous owner
  • V5c registration document in the vendor’s name
  • Current Mot to June 2023
  • Initially serviced at Mercedes main dealer and subsequently a local garage
  • Some invoices for service work 
  • The previous owner lived abroad hence the low mileage, but we are assured by the vendor that the car was serviced yearly by Hollywood Service Station Dumfries, please see a photograph of a letter confirming this.

The Interior

  • Full black leather interior
  • Air conditioning
  • Cruise control
  • Satellite navigation
  • Electrically heated & adjusted front seats ( with memory function )
The condition of everything in the interior is as you would expect from a very well looked after, low mileage example.

There is a little scuffing on both the driver’s and passengers seat bolster, but we mean a little and well below that which would be expected.

Apart from that, the interior is virtually spotless, as new carpets and their matching Mercedes carpet floor mats, dash which is all in full working condition with the buttons appearing as new. 

In fact, it’s very difficult to find fault here as all appears virtually in as new condition.

The Exterior

  • Iridium Silver
  • Alloy multi spoke wheels inc spare
  • Factory Bi-xenon headlights
  • Black electrically operated cabriolet roof
  • Front & rear parking sensors
As with the interior on this CLK, the exterior has also been exceptionally well looked after.
There are one or two small stone chips to the front, but otherwise we couldn’t spot any other exterior blemishes.

We understand from the vendor that when not being used, the Mercedes is stored under a breathable car cover, which would probably explain the spotless condition of the fabric cabriolet roof.

Overall, this Mercedes CLK presents it’s self highly and should satisfy even the most fastidious purchasers.

The Mechanics

  • V6 petrol engine
  • Immaculate engine bay
  • New front & rear discs inc pads in 2020 and has covered very little miles since
We’re informed by the vendor that the CLK drives very well and has no known faults. This can surely be backed up by it’s overall visual condition and certainly, as it was positioned and moved around for the photo shoot , it ran very smoothly as one would expect.

We will note that the roof operated very smoothly and quietly as would be expected from a luxury car manufacturer such as Mercedes-Benz.

Summary

What more can we say about this beautiful Mercedes cabriolet.

It would appear to want for nothing and is ready to drive and enjoy.

Be it a daily driver or weekend treat kids in the back on the way to school, or weekend away in the country this CLK will not disappoint whatever its role.

Bring on the summer !

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
