It was my aunts ride actually with 3,000 miles on the odo, then i asked if we could trade and she agreed! i feel its better built... more benz feeling than the c, not to downplay the c-class though... still love the c-class for all the nice features. the leather inserts just wear out fast. the sticker i guess was around 45-46 and considering my aunt... she paid sticker i guess!

just the monetary value behind the trade is enough to make me say yes... its like trading a honda accord for a c320 with no strings attached...
well, as long as everyone is happy... she gets the newer look, and you get the CLASSIC CLK Benz...

that's the root problem of it! i bought it, i fix it! oh well... that's life for some of us! modding is the next thing but maybe 17"amg's are all that im gonna go for. my dealership here makes so much fuss about mods hence my c320 wasnt modded and i bought LM5 replicas from bruce months ago!

Glad you switched to W208, those replica LM5s fit W208 as well, why don't you put them on? You will always want to go bigger so get 19s in the first place so you won't waste your time/money on the next set.

i sold it like a few months ago at a very huge loss... never had the time to have it installed... then my C was acting kinda wierd sensors were tripping everywhere then the warranty issued popped in my SA's mind and adviced to not to go for it. anyway, im staying as close to OEM as possible that way there's gonna be a lot of leeway for arguments!
BTW, thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
