2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK280 Coupe - Red - 163,830km - 3.0L V6 Automatic
Overview
The C209-generation CLK-Class represents the pinnacle of early-2000s Mercedes-Benz coupe design, and this CLK280 exemplifies the breed. Launched in 2002, the C209 refined the CLK formula with a more aggressive stance, improved interior ergonomics, and a potent lineup of engines. This particular example is powered by the 3.0-litre naturally aspirated V-angle six-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering a compelling blend of performance and refinement. The CLK280 badge denotes the mid-range engine option, offering genuine driving engagement without the complexity of forced induction. As a two-door, four-seat grand tourer, it remains a compelling proposition for buyers seeking classic Mercedes-Benz engineering with genuine usability.
This red example presents as a well-maintained example of the breed. The exterior paint holds good gloss across most panels with minor scratches and scuffs visible to the rear quarter panel, consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres. The front passenger alloy wheel shows light kerb rash typical of urban use. The cabin is trimmed in black leather with supportive sport-oriented seating for two occupants up front, whilst the rear bench accommodates two additional passengers for occasional use. The dashboard layout is characteristically Mercedes, with clear analogue instrumentation and a straightforward control interface. The odometer reads 163,830 kilometres, suggesting a vehicle that has been used but maintained through its lifecycle.
At current market valuations, the CLK280 sits in an attractive sweet spot. These cars have appreciated modestly over the past five years as enthusiasts recognise their engineering integrity and driving dynamics. A comparable 2005 CLK280 in similar condition recently sold for approximately AUD $18,500 to $22,000 depending on service history and presentation. This example, whilst showing its age honestly, represents fair value for a buyer seeking a genuine Mercedes-Benz coupe with the reliability of a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine and the prestige of the three-pointed star.
