E&C’s opinion:
We present for sale this Mercedes CLK 230 Kompressor, an elegant coupe from the late 1990s, emblematic of Mercedes craftsmanship, where comfort, reliability and presence went hand in hand. Under the hood, you’ll find the supercharged four-cylinder “Kompressor” developing 193 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, a combination both performance-oriented and renowned for its robustness. This vehicle is offered on a consignment basis for one of our clients, a car enthusiast. She covered nearly 3, 000 km between Spain and France before entrusting it to us and setting off again in another iconic Mercedes. Of French origin and showing real, verifiable mileage, this CLK starts and runs without difficulty, though a lack of power was noted (likely spark plugs and/ or fuel filter). The MOT is unfavorable for various issues to correct (listed above). The white leather interior remains very presentable, the headlining needs attention. The bodywork, in its superb Emerald Black metallic shade, retains a handsome overall appearance for its age. Sold to a professional or savvy private buyer, this CLK is a complete restoration project, ideal for an enthusiast looking to revive an iconic Mercedes coupe, approachable, endearing and full of charm.
