My new ride - pics inside - CLK430 -->

I mentioned in an earlier post that I purchased a 2000 CLK430 w/ 21,xxx miles on the odometer. I finally was able to take it out of the garage and enjoy the new ride for a weekend trip. I washed it down and snapped a few pictures - let me know what you guys think.

Cheers,

Lance

Wow - sick ride you have there! Yes, it's an extremely clean canvas - I just did this with an S4 that only had 24k miles on it. But I didn't keep the car for long... now I own this, time to play!

Thanks... the garage floor is all tile - we did it years ago. Way before the racedeck came out & etc. The only problem with it is that it becomes extemely slick when it's wet! :-) But it looks cool... lol.

The ride is insanely clean - I can't get over it. It was always stored in a climate controlled garage with a cover over it. Obviously it wasn't driven often either - their loss is my gain.

PS I still want a CL55 ('03-'05).

I'm probably going to lower it & slap on some 19's - yes, the the entire car is absolutely perfect inside & out. I'm incredibly lucky... I'm a car nut & can't get over the impecable condition of this car - life is good!

The floor mats are the originals - yes, they are darker. The plans for mods are listed above - drop/wheels. I have not replaced the fluids as of yet, but will do so in the near future.

Thanks,
