2005 MERCEDES-BENZ (C209) CLK280 AVANTGARDE (MY06)

KEY FACTS

• This 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK280 Avantgarde is a well-equipped luxury coupe benefiting from relatively low mileage and a lifetime of care in the hands of a single owner.
• The CLK280’s 3.0-litre V6 motor produces up to 170kW / 231hp, and is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission.
• Fresh from a 100,000 km major service with a new battery, windscreen and Continental tyres, and sold with a Victorian RWC completed in August 2021 and with registration to March 2022.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This CLK280 was specified from the factory with Mercedes’ Avantgarde package and with a factory sunroof, bi-xenon headlights, active lighting system and carpet mats.
• Additional features include sport suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, a multi-function steering wheel, sports instruments, front fog lamps, front and rear power windows, rain sensor wipers, cruise control, remote central locking and climate control.
• Sold with a full set of literature including stamped service books, original owner’s manuals, wallet, tool kit, medical kit and two keys.

CONDITION

• The Mercedes has been in the care of a single owner for the past 16 years, and there is no bodywork damage.
• Its exterior trims and light lenses present well, though the alloy wheels have some obvious curbing damage, so would benefit from refurbishment.
• Iridium Silver paintwork is original and has been well maintained. There is some mild stone chipping in common areas like the bumper, bonnet and rear vision mirrors, and a scuff on the rear bumper.
• The interior has also been very well preserved. There is a small surface scratch in the driver’s seat leather and the clear coat on the head unit is peeling.
• The car is mechanically sound, has no warning lights and presents no electrical faults.
• The power sunroof has been electrically disconnected due to the owner’s preference, but can be easily reconnected to use again, should the next owner wish.
• The most recent roadworthiness test was carried out in August 2021, and resulted in the windscreen, battery and a faulty brake light sensor being replaced.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The most recent service was completed by Europei Motori at 104,000 km. A major service was carried out, along with the above roadworthy inspection and associated works.
• Prior to this, Mercedes-Benz Toorak and Famagusta Motors carried out routine services that are documented in the service history, as shown in the gallery.
