I got my 2002 430 today.

I love it, but I can't drive it because the DMV is closed on Mondays.

Thanks to everyone for helping me with my newbie questions, I'm here for the duration now.

Unsung,

Congrats, I am sure you will love it. Be careful when you park it and walk away and keep on turning to look at your parked car. I guess that happens to all new clk owners. hehehe

Nice ride!
If you don't mind, e-mail or PM me and let me know what kind of deal you got. I just bought one about a month ago, and would like to compare.

This is true, I injured my neck badly the first week due to excessive head-turning.
