I currently own a 1996 C280 Sport. I have had it for 7 years and love the car. However, I am considering updating to a CLK 55 AMG. I am interested in 2000 to 2002 but know little about the cars.

I am interested in knowing what to look out for. I know a complete service record is important but is there an expensive service interval to look out for at a certain mileage? Is there signs to look for to see if the car has been abused or run hard?

I am new to the site so I appreciate any comments you experts might have. If there is any members that have a car for sale, please let me know. I am located in the Kansas City area but will consider any location for a purchase of the right car.

Thanks in advance for your help!
