2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK are very pleased with their purchase, praising its blend of performance, reliability, and style. Many appreciate the powerful engine and comfortable ride, making it great for both daily commuting and leisurely drives. However, a few drivers noted some common issues, like minor maintenance concerns and the need for better traction in snowy conditions. Overall, it's seen as a well-engineered vehicle that looks good and performs well."
Great car for commuting comfortably. Should invest in some snow tires if you do so in our northern climes where there is this crap called snow and its stock summer/ all seasons don't get a lot of traction but help with the mileage. The dash LCD pixels have a tendency to go out and the lights for the other gauges use off brand light bulbs which I was only able to find on-line. That said I was able to "re-build" the dash with a hair dryer some parts from AKspeedo in the U.K., some light bulbs and time for under $50. Lack of tilt wheel is annoying but not terrible to get used to. Has a bunch of luxury features that are fun to play with and show off to your friends e.g. retractable head rests, rear window screen remote control windows. Auto intermittent wiper is annoying in some weather as it likes to go faster than it needs to. It only has one wiper to control which is interesting. Auto dimming interior and driver side exterior mirrors are nice but slow sometimes. Plenty of power and still reasonably fuel efficient and fun to drive. Trunk is a good size for the car and the seats fold 60/40 style if you need more luggage space. It isn't a truck though so don't expect to haul a lot. Over all great spend of money as I got this one for $6,500.00 used with 90k on the clock in good shape with only two small DIY repairable rust spots and some other luckily easily fixed issues.
March 24, 2014Having owned several 4 seat convertbiles in the past (Saab Turbo, CLK,etc.), the CLK 430 Cab offers the best mix of performance, style and reliability. The V-8 never fails to deliver, the interior is a bit dressed up over some other cars, the ride is sporty but more comfortable then an M3, and I cannot stand the look of the new ones. The rear end doesn't work for me, so I continue to hang onto this model and enjoy it every day. With the top up, you wouldn't even know you were in a convertible..quiet and solid.
November 23, 2008Great buy worth every penny. It is a reliable car.

August 29, 2022the clk-430 is a beautiful car. it has great handling, braking, and acceleration. i dont know about others, but i have experienced 0-60 times of around 5.5-5.7 seconds. the one thing that would make this car even better would be a manual transmission with a clutch.
May 12, 2008This car is beautiful and accelerates 0-80 in like 2 seconds! Well, not really, but it seems like it. White paint is like glass, and the interior is solid. It's fun to drive and gets looks all day. The convertible top is very simple and fast.
December 13, 2008Great convertible, great power and a real looker...White on white with the grey top.
April 20, 2008fast and furious!!! awesome colour and suberb build quality...... never lets me down, gutsy on petrol when peddle is to the metal which is all the time :) Kompressor engine!
