The MERCEDES-BENZ CLK (1997-03) CLK200K 2DR CABRIOLET 2.0 ELEGANCE is a two-door, four-seat premium convertible: a stylish alternative to an ordinary family hatchback, rather than a practical SUV or city car. In the UK used market, it now sits among affordable older luxury cars, with open-air motoring and Mercedes-Benz appeal. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 look-ups covering 10 distinct cars, so the figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. The average private-sale valuation is £1,100; average recorded mileage is 128,000, while annual mileage averages 4,000. Cars checked had around five previous keepers on average in this sample. Best for couples or weekend drivers, it offers open-air comfort and a special feel. Its supercharged engine feels lively, while Elegance trim adds polish. Against BMW 3 Series and Saab 9-3 cabriolets, the CLK is known for Mercedes-Benz comfort and image; check condition and service history carefully at this age, too.
