2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 Cabriolet For Sale
This 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Convertible presents in a classic gold exterior over a black interior, a timeless combination that suits the elegant lines of the W209 chassis well. The car spent the majority of its life in Florida before relocating to New York in 2021, a history that typically means less exposure to harsh winters during its earlier years. It has been regularly maintained, with documented attention paid to both mechanical upkeep and the convertible top system.
Power comes from Mercedes' 3.2-liter M112 V6, an engine widely regarded as one of the brand's most durable and refined powerplants of the era. Known for smooth operation, quiet manners, and long service life, this V6 offers a balanced blend of performance and comfort that fits the CLK's grand touring character. Paired with an automatic transmission, the drivetrain delivers relaxed cruising and easy daily drivability.
The W209 CLK is often considered part of Mercedes-Benz's old-school build philosophy, featuring thick materials, solid door feel, conservative engineering, and restrained, timeless styling. It's a car that feels substantial without being overly complex, and refined without being flashy - qualities that have helped these cars age gracefully.
One of the most significant highlights of this example is the extensive attention given to the convertible top system, which is typically the most expensive area to sort on these cars. The soft top itself was replaced in September 2020, along with the front leather seats. In May 2020, six new convertible top hydraulic cylinders were installed using components from Top Hydraulics (Klaus Witte), addressing a common and costly wear item. Additional maintenance includes a heater hose elbow replacement in January 2019, serpentine belt and idler pulley service in March 2021, and a front bumper cover replacement in November 2021. More recently, new door cards were installed in January, further refreshing the interior presentation.
Today, the CLK320 Convertible sits squarely in the modern-classic sweet spot. It's old enough to carry genuine early-2000s Mercedes character, yet new enough to be comfortably driven and enjoyed on a regular basis. With its proven M112 V6, sorted convertible top system, and understated elegance, this CLK offers an appealing way into a well-built, refined Mercedes cabriolet without the usual looming top-repair concerns.
