[@laithellabban]

excellent video sir. nice to hear these details

[@llarose]

Thanks for watching.

[@CreativeEntertaiment]

Thanks for the detailed owner's review of the car. I'm thinking about buying one tomorrow and you just made me feel more confident to do it.

[@llarose]

Glad I could help! Enjoy.

1:52 “cuts down on glare from headlights from rear “ I would have thought this model would have the auto dimming rear view mirror and wing mirrors. Mine does ( in the UK)

[@llarose]

Yes, it does have these features, however, here in Canada the brightness of the headlamps (particularly from pick-up trucks) are insanely, blindingly bright, especially as they beam straight into the back window. I think the industry needs to address this. Thanks for watching.

Only 50K km away from your first high mileage badge! Congrats!

[@llarose]

Thank you for watching. Is that a thing or a good humurous quip?

Very good car!!! Since 2017 I have one built in 2003 in Elegance trim, tanzanite blue and with light tan leathers inside. For enthusiastic driving you need to keep pushing for a while because of 5Gtronic transmission adjusting/learnig ability. It would be nice to have this faster gear changing on higher revs behind some button. It is pretty fast car not only on the strights. On twisties it rolls to some limit but it stays absolutely stable and with proper gas operation you can keep the pace of pretty sporty and newer cars. The best experience, however, is cruising with all windows down during nice warm day. It is going to stay for a longer time with me.

[@CheekyTime]

Love it! I need one asap

[@llarose]

Great car. Underrated.

[@jorgechiubomberos]

I have a 350 Clk 2008. Problems I have had: intake manifold, back window regulator, spark rocket fail, transmission fluid leak, roof headliner bulge, washer fluid pump fail. Battery change. This is over 7 years

[@llarose]

@@jorgechiubomberos The earlier ones were not cheapened by Chrysler. CLK320 and CLK500 are the reliable models.

[@osvaldasn]

Hey, Nice video! Did you have any issuse with frameless windows during the winter?

[@llarose]

@@osvaldasn Never. The windows are solid. But, a very powerful spray wash will get through (a bit). I’ve since bought the 2005 CLK55. That’s the confidence I have with this particular model.

[@nevermind2534]

05 clk 500 owner. This is a pretty accurate description of the driving experience in one of these to be honest.

[@llarose]

@@nevermind2534 Thanks for watching 💯

[@SilencioBenji0110]

Is it worth buying this samecar for 5,900 at 207k miles?

[@llarose]

I wouldn't buy a car with more than 200,000 miles unless you had records from Day 1, and it is immaculate. $5,700 may seem like a good value, but it was a high priced German Coupe with - now - continued high-price maintenance needs. Be careful, even Toyotas start breaking down after 200K

[@SilencioBenji0110]

@@llarose aight. Thanks man

[@Kj-bk2xv]

what type of infotainment display is that? looking for something similar in my 2005 clk320. thanks in advance.

[@llarose]

This multi media gear is great, and has transformed the stock system into a modern marvel. Michael there is a wizard with all accessories for any car. I've been seeing him for over 10 years with about 9 different cars. embarrassingly, I have no idea the brand, but I can give you the website of the provider/installer: (In Vancouver, Canada) www.sanseauto.com/

[@sumkunt0r]

I have just bought a 53 clk 500 with 70k miles on the clock. If you are interested i will keep you informed. Interestingly the only time it failed inspection was for a passenger side seat belt buckle.

[@llarose]

Sounds great! Interesting coincidence!

[@miamibeachsunnydays8274]

The first year for the new model: 2003
