The MERCEDES-BENZ CLK (2002-09) 240 2DR COUPE 2.6 AVANTGARDE AUTO is a stylish luxury coupe, an elegant alternative to a family saloon. In the UK used-car market, it sits among premium coupes, appealing to drivers seeking Mercedes comfort and presence without a model's high price. Mycarcheck.com records 561 checks covering 229 different VINs, giving a snapshot of cars being researched. Examples average 112,000 miles and around 5,000 miles a year; the average private-sale valuation is £1,500. Cars have averaged just over five previous keepers, so condition and history can vary considerably. With its automatic gearbox, six-cylinder engine and Avantgarde trim, the CLK suits cruising and weekend outings, especially for couples or small households rather than families needing rear access. Its refined feel and coupe styling distinguish it from more practical BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 rivals. Check service records, mileage and condition before buying, as age and varied ownership matter.
