    I bought a Mercedes CLK 230k a few years ago for £995.00 with a new MOT. I drove it everywhere for a year enjoying the leather and air con etc etc. A decent drive for very little money. ANYWAY. I MOT’d the car a year later which it passed with only a few advisories and I sold it for £1250.00. Never let me down or had a single issue. Cheapest year of motoring ever!

      Did a similar thing with a CLK 240 (baby V6) £600 72k miles sorted it and has never misses a beat. Very good car and they still look good 20 years down the line

    I drive one of those Merc C220 coupes and its a brilliant car but I get the oil changed regularly and deactivate the stop start. Lack of oil changes and the stop start seem to be the main causes of the chains wearing. If I got chain rattle I'd also get it looked at. They're good cars if looked after but this one seems to have been neglected. Have you thought about messaging Salvage rebuilds UK? It might be the sort of thing they'd be interested in to fix up and would make a good youtube crossover?

Met you earlier calv was there looking for a family car bmw (instructed by the mrs) was so so close to leaving with that type r on the front😂 bit of a difference. Good job there was no dc5s there. I would have like erm…this is our new family car 😂 nice to meet you man. Well done on the new site it’s looking good.

    So car vertical will only pick up once the engine and the accident on the left side has been done with insurance? If it's done privately that won't be shown....? Cause at this moment the car needs a new engine and the left side is smashed up and shows clear on car vertical.... So what if other vehicles was done privately without insurance then it means damages won't be shown on the systems 🤔

    Awesome vid cal it's really nice to see how you've come along these few years on yt, keep up the good work! Great choice of cars btw my family weirdly was in the same situation but a 2010 c180 automatic prefacelift (we run a garage though!) It came in non runner snapped timing chain @134k but it would still crank (sort of) like yours, we got away with just a complete chain kit & just a oil and filter with a new aux belt and rocker cover gasket but that was it so there may be hope! And likewise it really needed all the wheels refurbed and paintwork paid less than 1k for it and my brother now daily drives it, it'll be a good one for the channel and the navara too my dad's got a 15 model year in that same high tekna/n tech (?) I think spec! which is the last of that shape and he loves it says it's one of the best pick ups he's ever had
