Newbie seeking advice
Greetings-
I have been lurking here for quite some time. I am finally ready to purchase a CLK 430, but I have a dilemma. Before I make my decision, I wanted to consult the experts...
I have two options:
00 CLK 430
48K miles
COMMAND
1 owner/lease return
Expired warranty
$27K
01 CLK 430
20K miles
1 owner
Starmark Certified
$38K
I have driven both and they are almost identical (except for the NAV on the 00). Is the lower mileage/starmark warranty really worth the extra $$ or should I purchase the less expensive one and spend the extra money on an aftermarket warranty and mods?
I would appreciate any comments or opinions.

I'm far from being an expert but I'd go with the 00 because it seems like a much better deal. $11k is a lot for what the other car has to offer...I'd take that money and buy a Kleemann supercharger
