For Sale: 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

2007 Mercedes Benz CLK350 Cabriolet

"Life consist of many moments; great and small, short and long. So shouldn't we enjoy each one to the utmost? It was with this in mind that we built the CLK-Class. And reason enough for us to present the CLK Coupe' and the CLK Cabriolet, two Mercedes vehicles that are not only particularly good looking, but also, thanks to their attractive range of engines, highly dynamic." From the 2007 dealer brochure.

For consignment a 2005 CLK350 with a title verified 55,962 actual miles. This sports convertible offers Mercedes quality, a luxurious interior, and soft, rounded exterior lines, veering from the Benz propensity of previous generation for boxy cars with lots of right angles.

Exterior
Diamond Silver Metallic adorns this car with quality, two stage coverage like a vat of liquid mercury. Nearly seamless in its design with integrated round headlights which melt right into the front and border the familiar grille and its prominent three point star. A black canvas top is in good shape, holding a glass window in the back, and we do note some small tears and seam repairs. On either side a rounded chrome spear catches your eyes while flush tail lights in back harken Mercedes design with horizontal reverse lenses while a third brake light is perched on the decklid. 17-inch multi spoke wheels with some curb rash repair on all four and scratches, combine sportiness with luxury and are wrapped in 45 series tires. With the top down, the hard tonneau cover hints at fairings with slight humps behind each rear seat. Other imperfections noted include chips, inclusions, off color paint at the rocker, scuffs, rear bumper "kisses," light blistering on door bottom, and chin scrapes.

Interior
For the inside a nice mixture of gathered black leather, molded plastic and vinyl along with a peppering of wood accenting is noted in the doors and center console. Robust deep bucket seats are positioned in front and a 2+2 bench is in back, all in black leather and all in very nice condition. This handsome design carries through to the dash where instruments present clearly in platinum and white under the semicircular dash top and matching circumference steering wheel with a firm, black rubber rim. Warm and glossy burl wood framing surrounds the AM/FM/CD radio on the center stack along with the climate panel and upper control switchgear, finally flowing down to the center console where the shifter of obvious quality rises from a leather boot. Black carpeting floods the floors protected by rubber mats and the trunk is finished and clean.

Drivetrain
Under the hood hidden within the confines of a clean engine bay is a mostly shrouded 3.5 liter DOHC V6 rated at 268 horsepower and fuel injected. A 7gTronic 7-speed automatic sends power to a 2.82 final drive axle in the rear.

Undercarriage
Clean driver quality with lots of aerodynamic coverings on the underside that includes minimal surface rust and no errant fluid or grease. Single exhaust runs through an original equipment muffler just before exiting via a chrome tip. Independent McPherson strut suspension is upfront, and independent coil sprung suspension on back.Naturally, power disc brakes are employed front and rear.

Drive-Ability
We take our comfortable seats and were torn between the sheer luxury of the interior and the potential sportiness of the ride. Impressive acceleration and handling accompanies this personal luxury car with enough room for the family. The solid "thunk" of the door is met with a solid chassis. No rattles, no creaks, just straight forward and purposeful driving pleasure during which every functional item worked as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Here's a taste of class and luxury at a bargain price, wearing the coveted three pointed star and a deep coat of silver paint. You could save this for topless weekend drives or easily put this into service every day. Hard to believe it's almost 20 years old as its quality and style seem still relevant today.
