Just have a few questions for you guys.
I am contemplating leasing a CLK350, right now the big thing is the trade in value for my car my goal is to make the trade in basically pay for the 27 month lease. As of right now I am at a $2k difference with the dealer.
I did a search first and could not find the answers to a few questions.
1st question is by nothing having a B pillar do you end up with air leakage between the front and back window? AKA excess wind noise.
Next is also related to the lack of a B pillar, I wanted to know if anyone has a side impact crash test result or for that matter any crash tests I cant seem to find any, I was reading the car is supposed to be 40% stiffer than the previous CLK but does that translate into being safer in a side impact?
The car I am thinking about leasing would have only P1 package on it. It says H/K logic 7 system I assume that is the same as in the E350 which has logic 7.
But on P1 it says cell phone pre wired?
This is what it says on the site "Pre-wiring for cell phone included. Hands-Free Communication System sold separately as an individual option. Requires Bluetooth® Interface Module, MHI cradles, and handsets sold separately."
The way I take it you just need the cradle and its a plug and play thing. Or do you need the cradle if you are going to use bluetooth.
Thanks for your help and time.
