I don't think so, but I've seen plenty of them at dealerships. I'm very jealous of these cars, it has all the upgrades I've really ever wanted (and with warranty). Imagine a 75 shot of n2o with a car like this, it would be such a killer.

I used to have a few 208's over the years...love the sound and feel the way the doors closed, kinda of remined me of the Merc's of yore. Best of luck with the new 550

Yea, the 03 definitely had a "solid" feel to it that I dont get with the 07. But the performance is light years ahead.

That was my thought exactly.... why pay so much more for not really so much more?? that was my feeling then and still is. I can chip my 350 for a lot less.
And believe me when I tell you.. With that 7spd tranny.. you can twist the rubber right off those 17's.. I actually turned off my ESP. and did Donut(s)..( I'm waaay too old for that stufff ) but when you think about ...DAMN!!!!! this is supposed to be the "lesser" of the two.. Hmmm well.. okay... LOL.

lol, the 500's were also around for those who wanted the looks of a 55 but for a cheaper price... it has the exact same body kit as the clk55.... then you can start to argue why get a 55 when the 500 looks the same

you cant win em all

Do you have a picture that wasn't taken on a dealer lot. Both the 209 and the 208 look like they're at the dealership.

CLK550, Sports Suspension, Black Opal
Got my CLK550

I just got my CLK550 with Sports suspension. The twin AMG pipes give a nice sound. The sports suspension really makes a difference in handling. Tight and suppled without being stiff - just a little sharper. The engine is just shocking, The power is incredible. Very civilized at 1/4 throttle and a screaming hammer when pushed. Wonderful car.

My car: Black Opal, Black interior, Black Ash Burl and white instruments.
