I Bought a Mercedes CLK320 Convertible for Only $375! Junk or Hidden Gem?
In this video: I just picked up this 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Convertible for the unbelievable price of only $375. Usually, at this price point, you’re looking at a parts car or a total basket case, but this W208 has some serious potential.

Join me as we do the first walkaround, assess the damage, and see if the legendary M112 V6 engine will actually fire up. We’ll be checking out the common W208 issues including the hydraulic convertible top, rusted wheel arches, and the dreaded electrical gremlins. Is it a total piece of junk, or did I just find the flip of the year?

What we cover today:
The story behind finding a $375 Mercedes.
Interior and Exterior condition assessment.
Checking the oil and fluids after sitting.
Will it start? The first "Crank Test."
Evaluating the convertible top mechanism.
