Clk 430 or e320?

So i was planning on getting a 02 clk430, because i want something faster than my 02 clk320 and the 430 would have alot less miles. but my cousin was saying i should just get a 04 or 05 e320 or 350 i wanted a convertable but on the other hand a newer merc. what would you guys do?

Hey bro! get the CLK! first off its gorgeous, rare, and faster(coupes are usually about .5 sec quicker than verts) than even a newer 320/350E. Especially with lower miles, the E's are heavier and more common(but nice aswell) .....on the other hand just get a CLK55 AMG you can actually get quite a deal on them right now. I have noticed most clk430's actually cost more on Autotrader than the clk55's with the SAME miles and year lol......thats just MY opinion though hope that helped, good luck!

Thats wat i was leaning more towards i live in LA and i see the E classes alot. Not so much the clk well the 02's at least.
I don't really use the back seats that much and there pretty much fine for the people i have back there. Thanks for the advise. hopefully within the next few months ill have a clk430 or even 55
