Is this the OEM Mercedes-Benz CLK320 manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Mercedes-Benz published for the CLK320, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Why do some CLK320 years cost more?

Every CLK320 year is $40.99.

Is this a subscription?
