Summer cabriolet

I have been looking at a Mercedes Cabriolet CLK 200K Avangarde Auto. It is an 09 plate with 10k on the clock and is priced at £18,999. I like the style and ambience of the car, but is it a good buy at this price and if I decided to pursue this further, what should I look for or, expect?

I am 65, have owned and driven numurous cars, I am a member of the IAM and looking for a little comfort, fun and pizzaz. What do you think to this option?

Glass's May book retails at £21,250, trade books at £18,875 with 26k miles. By the book it looks like a good deal. And it is summer. Won't be worth anything like that this winter.

Much better second attempt at CLK. Goes well, handles well and is comfortable. Attractive looks.
