Hi, Scotty! I recently found a 2003 Mercedes CLK 320 V6 3.2L, with low mileage (under 45k), no accidents and only two owners. And the asking price is around 10k.
Is it a good deal? And before buying this car, what are the things that I should watch out for in these old Mercedes?
Thanks!
Are you prepared to shell out the huge amount of $$$$ for maintenance and repairs that a 20-year-old Mercedes is going to need?
If this will be a daily driver and you don’t plan to do all the work yourself, I would pass on it.

An almost 20 year old German car with Toyota Corolla 2.0L levels of performance? why...
No it's not worth even a 1/3rd of that asking price, Avoid it.
A $23k Corolla SE does 0-60 in 7.3 seconds and that's a number you can actually expect to achieve without the engine or transmission needing replacement, realize that with a 20 year old Daimler-Chrysler, everything is one hard acceleration from blowing up.
If it is really that low mileage, check topics abut sitting cars
