Just purchased 2005 clk class Mercedes convertible, is this a car that will need exp maintenance

Definately will. Expect fairly high cost if needing to replace parts under the bonnet. And if done by mercedes it will be far from cheap. I would advise if having parts replaced have a good well known & trusted mechanic/garge work on the vehicle rather than mercedes as you will save a hell of a lot on labour charges. Very good car but like Audi u must pay a high price for such quality. Good luck :-)

So upset just bought yesterday, now I have to worry

lets just hope u found a good one

Metoo, but your answer scared this widow, had nightmares last night
