Funnily enough it so far in its entire life has not once needed anything in terms of maintenance except a routine oil change...been one of the most reliable cars in the entire family.

do the transmission fluid, and consider new suspension bits/bushings. maintenance is preventative. beautiful car btw. i love CLKs.

I can’t tell whether no maintenance done is really a good thing here. At 60k miles you should have done break/trans/coolant flushes.

I should have worded my sentence differently, It has not needed any repairs but it has had it's neccesary maintenances done to it.
