No warranty on CLK55
but I just found out that clk500 comes with Driverz Edge aftermarket warranty....not sure if it's actually worth anything....

Pvo,
I literally had the same dillema ! ... 04 clk500 vert amg pkg vs. an 05 clk55 vert. no warranty
04 has an aftermarket warranty as well. I drove both and the piece of mind of a warranty .. whatever they cover was the deciding factor. I rolled the dice on my Boxster S with no warranty and was pretty lucky. I dont want to take a chance like that nowadays. ( maturity? )
To me , its 85% of the car the 55 is , less price and a warranty. I'm glad I chose the 500.
any further questions, ask.. i just finished all the paperwork etc. NEWBIE too
