Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Had been wondering, were dbg had gone, I bet the hamsters are having a rest, he did use a thousand words when 100 would do, good luck to the pair of them with a new start in Coventry,
I have had a couple of CLK's and they have been very nice cars, no major problems with either of them. As mentioned though mercs of this vintage will likely have rust and it will be in the wheel arches and where the bumpers meets the wings front and back. The one you have posted up looks ok but could have been tarted up to sell and it will bubble back through if it has only been filled. Also the dash around the radio looks like it has been damaged - that would get annoying - and as for AMG edition the wheels are the only AMG thing on the car and I would have expected the full AMG bumpers and side skirts if this was a factory AMG, but otherwise it looks like it has a lot of options (full electric memory seats, parking sensors, command/sat nav, wooden steering wheel, digital climate control and heated seats) but a lot of money for a convertible merc that old in the middle of wnter with that mileage. I would have said it was worth £1800. The later shape CLK's are not a lot more (2002 onwards) and they are a much better car.
I hope that helps.

Going back a few years now, iirc you was skint
Looking at the amount of times you have changed your cars in the last few years, I take it your fortunes has changes a little
But she always said live each day the way you want to ... your only here once .Lets just say she left the family a few pennies .
Anything before that is about £300
04 Monaro. 65k miles. Fast black. Very nice condition apparently. I think it has had engine upgrades but not certain yet.
Any idea of realistic value of such a beast ?
Opti had a CLS 500 V8, no big issues but he did not have it long
The tax man took it
One of the airbags at the rear failed. Mercedes wanted £1100. An independent fixed it for about £600 ish.
Its a shame but i guess you would be lucky not to have something go wrong that was going to have to be bought from the stealers 
Buy it.
What's the worst that can happen?
Its looks too good to be true and the ad dont explain much 
I know Tilbo has a similar car .. cant remember if he has the soft top one though
Today I fitted the original MID to the replacement instrument cluster and then drove it to work (20 miles each way).
I like it, I like it a lot. It feels solid and goes well. I won't mind sorting out a few 'cosmetic' issues because the underlying car seems to be a good one.
I am undecided about the suspected wheel bearing noise
So dont rule that out
Mot day and passed with a few advisories
:
Long Life are pretty good, you can also specify your spec, Performance, noise level etc.
Is your for Saloon or Estate, may be able to help with a second hand one.
