Differences between 03 and 04 CLK???

Are there any changes in the 04 CLK compare to the 03 model?

I just got a call from my sales telling me that my CLK55 will be here in the next few weeks. I thought he was joking 'cause 04 models are not in production yet. Then I found out that he ordered a 03 CLK rather than the 04 model that I wanted. I don't mind waitting for the 04 CLK hoping the first year bugs will be corrected.

Should I just take this car or wait for the 04 model?

Patience lamay, wait. MBZ has been very slow getting some of the well known early problems addressed on the assbly line. If your dealer has the official 04 ordering guide he should be able to tell you of any changes ie 18"s???

I figure I should ask the experts here on Mbworld....seems like u guys are more knowledgeable than my dealer sometimes.

I think I'll wait too. The wiper flying off incident from the other thread will sure **** me off totally. But I'll still go see the 03 CLK55 and maybe get a test drive out of it....

You guys have no idea how embrassed I am when my neighbors give me weird looks as I am wipping down the wax off my car! I am not from Mars and I surely don't wear a bikini as I am doing this. I guess people are just in odd when they see girls doing "guyly" stuff!
