Hey guys,

04clk500cabriolet with AMG package, 20k miles and warranty until 100k or 2013

or

05clk55cabriolet with 33k miles


Thank you in advance for your thoughts....

02 C32 AMG
CLK55 better performance, resale value
cost of ownership will be similar, except you'll get better gas mileage in the CLK500

Everyone has their own opinion, but in my mind, it’s a no-brainer. The mileage difference is nothing. The year difference AND the fact it’s an AMG? I’d have the 55 inspected at a dealer. If it’s OK, write a check.
