I started a discussion yesterday about whether to buy a W208 or W209.... I was perusing auto trader and ebay, and found i quite like the c class sport coupe... I will have 7k to spend, will this be a better buy than a CLK?? Does anybody on here have one??

Have a CLK 320 which I really like despite the Merc knockers on this site! Great motorway cruiser with power to burn.

If you want a Merc, get an E class or above or leave alone and go BMW/Audi.

We had a lot of C-classes on our fleet, and they aren't really a very durable or well made car especially for the price.
