Man you are getting me in trouble. I looked at CLK55s after your post read about it, fell in love with it. I am negotiating for one now ))))

You drove one? It’s over. I hope your kids like the back seat, because that deal is DONE. I’ve never hauled fishing gear, but the trunk is cavernous. My sons is 22, my daughter is 23. When we go somewhere in the CLK, I have plenty of room. I mean, I think they have room.

Here's how you sell the wife -


W202 interior dimensions (in./mm)
Head room - Front: 37.5 / 952.5 ; Rear: 35.5 / 901.7
Leg room - Front: 44.8 / 1,138; Rear knee room: 23.8 / 604 I think the rear leg room is 33 / 838, but that could be wrong.

W208 coupe interior dimensions (in./mm)
Head room - Front: 36.9 / 937; Rear: 35.8 / 908
Leg room - Front: 41.9 / 1,064; Rear: 31.2 / 790
Hip room - Front: 53.7 / 1,364; Rear: 45.9 / 1,167
Shoulder room - Front: 52.8 / 1,342; Rear: 50.4 / 1,280

You’re losing a little head and leg room, but since I don’t have the specs, you're GAINING HIP AND SHOULDER ROOM!

Sorry to see what happened to your car Bud - that silver one on ebay seems like a catch. At least you're okay - knowing what I know about these cars, the C43 in particular, I would probably get something else. Although my car has been great, I still have a fear about that 722 transmission taking a dump.
