'05 CLK55 or '06 CLK500?

been doing as much research as I can before I asked this question. Stats are:

05 clk55amg- pewter/black 122k miles $9k

06 clk500- black/black 102k miles $9k

going to go look at them both by the end of the week. I had a cls55amg which I bought from a member on this forum so I am leaning amg. But if the '06 clk500 is close enough and less to maintain I don't mind going that route. I also like the black on black better than the pewter. Any advice would be great guys.

CLK55 definitely. I would only suggest the newer 550 as a good alternative. What happened with the CLS?

Yea, I am def leaning in the amg direction. I sold the CLS about a year and a half ago. Great car, loved it, never had an issue other than the rims. NY winter roads destroyed the soft rims. Literally every week without fail, I was on the side of the road. I had the spare on so much I wore that out and popped it. One nite I cracked two rims within 30 mins and had to leave it in a sketchy parking lot in queens. Couldn't take it so I got rid of it. I have since moved and where I am now I won't have the same issue....I hope lol
