THANKS!

Thanks!

My car is a 1999 320, 33,000 miles and the color is Black Opal (which I think should be called dark blue). It's really a base model, but all I could afford.

As for modifying the car... I would really like to put a Nav System in the car. I have a Garmin StreetPilot, but I was thinking about a Comand system or the Pioneer system I saw someone here on the board had. I have a 99, so there are no controls on the steering wheel.

Any sugestions for the best nav system for this car? I am very handy and would love to hear your thoughts.

THANKS!!!!!!

Black Opal is a great colour. Is it blue? black? green? "Well it depends on the lighting!" Enjoy your CLK, you'll enjoy it.

I also have the stock car, and frankly, i don't really care. I would like a cd changer, etc, but not at a $1000 price. That's 50 table dances!!!

Welcome! I hope the winter srorm you got out in NJ isn't preventing you from enjoying your new car.

I'm in NW Ohio, and can hardly wait untill all this melts. I've had my car 3 weeks, but have only driven it maybe 5 times.

Black Opal

Black opal is a great color. The best part is that you rarely see it.

I Love the Interior!

The main reason I bought this car was because of the interior. It is the light colored gray/brown. I swear the person that owned the car must have weighed 90 pounds and had seat covers on it. It's like brand new! I figured I would see the inside much more often then the outside! :-)

I have a Black Opal clk 320 also. I love the color. Now I need to find a good deal on some 17inch AMG wheels.
