1999 CLK320
anyone else feel that the clk320 and gs400 are not very comparable?
the gs400 uses a V8 and it has 4 doors VS a coupe with a V6. the clk430 uses a closer matched engine to the gs400.
i'd get a GS300 or IS300 if i didn't do maintenance myself.
good luck

actually if i get gs i will lower it, and put 19' + SRT intake may be some JP stuff..
if i will get CLK i will get rims + lights
btw i am not compare V6 vs V8.
i choose gs400 cuz it will get same MPG as GS300. but clk320 has better MPG than clk430. that is the reason.

HEY MAN, I FEEL YOUR CHOICE. I HAVE BOTH A 1998 GS400 (138K) AND A 2000 CLK430 (32K) I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WIT THE CLK THAN ANY OTHER CAR. I PERSONALLY WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BENZ. GO WIT THE GS THERE MORE RELIABLE EASIER TOO MOD. FAR AS AUDIO AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. THE GS400 IS WAY FASTER HANDLES BETTER. WHEN I SELL BOTH CARS IMMA JUST GO AND GET A NEW 2008 GS.
WELL HOPE MY 2 CENTS HELPS YOU.

CLK 430
I almost bought a GS400 before I bought the Clk. Personally I am much more impressed with the Clk. AFter test driving both of them I felt the Clk was faster. But if you are only looking at a 320 than go for the Lexus. Thats my opinoin on it.

Not all of us threaten people over the internet and are dumb enough to keep the caps on.
It is not being graded, but the way you write shows people on the internet your intelligence level.
Do you scream at the top of your lungs (caps) and use run on sentences with the incorrect emphasis when asking a question?
