This is a versatile looking old thing, 1 owner, years test, loads of tax, loads of history, €1k

Is it too much?

I'd consider that for tripping around Ireland or further afield but- the wife would go mad!

Bring the girlfriend... ðŸ€

Had one once and had lots of trouble with it.They have a habit of stretching timing chains and gearbox issues.I would look elsewhere unless it is very cheap.

Looks nice. I know very little about BMW's tbh so it could be one of the bad ones.

It's a gamble imo. Those engines are known for head gasket failure, egr valve problems, etc. It could also be due a new clutch/flywheel. The cynic in me would think that it's former keeper knew these expenses were on the horizon so decided to part ways with it instead, maybe when the tax/nct ran out. It's being sold as a trade sale by the dealer so the risk is totally on the buyer even at that asking price. It could get someone out of a bind for a few months if there was a bit of tax and/or NCT on it but imo it would still really want to be a sub 1k car for that so that you can walk away from it without it owing you too much.

Had to almost give my one away, they are a ball of manure. Engine nothing but hassle and won't pull you out of bed. PCV valve leaking and getting blocked, gaskets going, chain issues, sensor issues, lot of them blow smoke, warm start issues. Never again.. Mind you it didn't put me off BMW, just a horrendous engine.

Almost forgot, the wings love to rust too.

Just highlights how subjective a car colour is. I personally like it. Not the usual greys or browns they are so common in.

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/nct-july-2019-mercedes-clk/21875011
Mercedes CLK 2.0
NCT 07/19
Asking €750.
I wouldn't normally put one in here and arguably the dodgy wheel bearing strictly rules it out but it struck me as a very nice original looking example. These have surely bottomed out in value and can only rise, right?

Why has he got it up on a step for the photo?

I never like that frontend tbh and I never thought it suited the CLK body. Always looked too ungainly for me.

It looks like the phoenix park. I also never liked the front end on that era merc.

Been ogling this for the last week, he has reduced the price by €300 since then. I know it has the 2.0 diesel over the 1.9 but FSH is nice. NCT and decent chunk of tax. Love the look of the Avants personally

Far from a deal breaker in this part of the world. Nice example, and one of the best shapes of that era in estate.
