07 CLK550
Need Feedback on C55 amg

I now own a 07 CLK 550. I purchased it two years ago with 45K on the clock. It now has 80K. Car has been problem free, no complaints at all. I take my grandson to school now and to be honest, getting him into the back seat and into the seatbelt is beginning to wear on me, even though the seat slides and lift. My other car is a 90 Carerra 2, so that's out of the question, same problem. I ran across an 05 C55 AMG, 51K miles for around 22K, fully loaded. Has anyone here ever had or have a C55 and how does it compares as far as power and torque of the 550. I realize it has about 20 less horsepower and less torque, but is it something that will leave me disappointed in the long run. Just looking for honest opinions. Thanks

I don't think a C55 will leave you disappointed.

CLK55
I don't think you would notice the 20hp difference

Given the option, I'd choose the C55 AMG, simply because it's an AMG vehicle.
