Trade in CLK63 BS for C63 BS??
I'm seriously considering trading my CLK63 BS in for a C63 BS.
I havent driven mercedes with MCT, is it really THAT much better than CLK63 BS? I was told the transmission is totally different than all the other 63 cars.

The interior quality and tech features of the C will make your CLK feel outdated. The exterior is a matter of personal taste. The MCT transmission is the same as in any MY '12 C63. Compared to your CLK tranny, the MCT will be more responsive during spirited driving, but not as smooth in slow city driving or heavy traffic. Unless you're emotionally attached to your CLK, get the C.

Not a chance. The CLK63BS is everthing the C63BS is. The jury is out on te MCT tranny. You already own the CLK it so you'll take a huge hit when you sell it, plus sales tax registration etc.

C BS is a better all round experience vs CLK BS. there is simply no comparison when it comes to the transmission either.
You will not regret the C63 BS purchase one bit, trust me on this

Looking at the list of vehicles in his stable.. I honestly doubt the price hit factors into his decision at all..

To answer the OP, if I had to do it again, choose between keeping the CLKBS or selling/trading in for a CBS, I would choose the CBS 10 times out of 10. The CBS is a slightly better car in every single category.

Why not keep the CLK BS & trade in ur C63 for the C63 BS? U can have the best of both world IMO! 
It would be cool if u could post pics of each of ur cars.. Especially the 458 with the top down. *drool*

I just seen a used one at the dealership in North Olmsted, was traded in for a different vehicle because the owner was sick of the 16 year old kids thumbs up'ing him and taking pics... It does appeal to kiddies for sure....

With money as no object install a storage lift 0r two in your garage. Regarding the wife (with money as no object) take her to Harry Winston's and buy her a Oscar red carpet bobble (the sparkly kind, not the booble heads).
