2001 CLK430
Bittersweet goodbye
Well, I finally made the decision to trade in my 2001 clk430. The reason had to do with a growing family and what a pain in the butt it was getting my baby out of the car seat in the back. I was surprised a I got a good trade-in price for my car and $250 above invoice on theirs. So I am a proud new owner of the all new Audi A4 quattro 2.0Turbo FSI. 6spd. The car rocks and the new front suspension is the same as the S4, plus 29 mpg. I cant wait to chip the ecu. After a few days, I already miss the torque of the clk but do not miss rattles and what seemed to be the aging of the car. Trim pieces started to come loose, leather seats worn, new tires tires bald and after I hit 40k with warranty about to expire I knew it was time. Lastly I will always miss the attention I got in the Benz, but hey if I can pull chicks in the Audi, I am the "man" heehehe Good luck ya'll
