And very importantly have any of you experienced firsthand or anecdotally any of the trouble spots they mention?
I have a Pre-certified Used 2004 CLK 55 AMG with Carfax and I have experienced '0' issues with all the mentioned issues listed in that article. The only problems that I've had has been a bad MAF sensor and Purge Valve...I bought a new MAF sensor for about $150 bucks (more than 50% cheaper than buying from the stealership) installed it myself...done. No issues ever since. However the purge valve has been replaced twice and it is still an issue as my CEL (Check Engine Light) continues to come...I took the car to my local MB shop who happens to be my personal mechanic and he can't fix it for chit. lol Maybe it's my mechanic but that seems to be the only headache that I've had with the car so far but I love driving it!
