Brake fluid change interval
Going to check out a low mileage CLK500 tommorrow. Carfax looks OK, but shows brake fluid changed twice??!!?? Is this a by-yearly thing?? or maybe some other type of brake problem for this car??
Certified 2006 CLK500

That sounds plausible... and that reminds me that I need to service the Mustang, iL, E9, 2002, uh... too many freaking cars!!!

Manufacturers suggest 2 years, probably only gets done under free service or if the owner tracks the car (then it is even more often).
Otherwise, most never do it.

still looking for another set of wheels.
Funny thing is Autotrader add says car is certified. Dealer said it is not, but they were more than happy to offer a 12 month, 50K mile plan. But, the car was meh at best. Low miles is nice, but nothing special about the feel of this car. This is the second MB I have driven with in dash NAV, and while this one was better than the 2004 I rented in Germany, the NAV still sucks to program. At one point I actually felt like I was driving a luxury, V8 Sebring. Was a nice day here in Seattle for a test drive with the top down though
