Mercedes-Benz CLK 500 FAQ

How Reliable is a CLK 500?

Very. Industry authorities like Edmunds point out the 2006 model, for instance, for its capable engine, sturdy build quality, composed ride, comfortable interior, and stylish looks, calling the car an ideal combination thereof. Favorable reviews on Cars.com, RepairPal, and Kelley Blue Book rate the car 4.8, 4.0, and 4.5 out of 5.0, respectively.

To keep your CLK 500 just as reliable, you'll need to stay on top of regular maintenance, for one -- change the air filters regularly, replace the oil filter, swap out the spark plugs, and so on. Secondly, you'll need to take care of a few problems common to the line -- among them, faulty HVAC, defective crankshaft position sensors, and bad electronics. Be sure to use OEM parts, whatever the repairs.

How Much Does a CLK 500 Cost?

The MSRP for a 2005 model, according to Autoblog, was around $62,000. These days, though, you can get, say, a used 2006 model for anywhere from $5,800 or so to $8,400, give or take, according to KBB.com. Classic.com, in contrast, notes the car going for average $14,229, and cites a 2004 model having sold for as little as $4,400.

Put simply, CLK 500 is relatively inexpensive to own and maintain for a luxury car. That means, on the one hand, you can expect to spend less having service done at a Mercedes-Benz service center. On the other, it means your options for customization are nearly endless.

For example, say you want to upgrade the 5.0-liter V8 on a 2005 model to help it put out more than the native 302 horsepower. You can do that on the cheap -- just add a turbocharger, a cold air intake, and a performance air filter, and mod the exhaust to a cat-back system with a high-flow catalytic converter.
