'04 CLK500 Coupe Cadet blue/Ash
Question Be kind to the newbie...

Woohoo... My very first post - LOL!
I finally found an '04 CLK500 in Cadet blue/Ash. Haven't bought it yet. I called my ins company to see how much more it would be to replace my awesome '92 Celica with the clk. Raising the deductible from 500 to 1000 will only add $300 to my ins.!! For all of you thinking that the ins will be too much to handle - think again. Anyway, my questions are :
1) Do you guys/gals dig this color combo?
2) Should I plan on getting snow tires
3) Is Keyless go really all it's cracked up to be? If it is then I have 1 more question:
4) None of my local dealers have an '04 500 cadet blue/ash with keyless go. How can I expand my search?
Thanks
Charlie

Keyless-go is awesome.

Get the color you like most. Every time you wake up in the morning to go to work you are going to have to see your car. Personally I agree black or silver are the sharpest colors but to each their own.

Snow tires? Whats that? Buy a AWD truck if you are driving in snow.

I love my keyless go. If you ever walk to your car with your hands full you will love keyless go.

Any MB dealer can do a trade with another dealer. Just have them look in the computer.

The keyless go is techo-cute. But I wouldn't go ou tof my way for it.
