My wife upgraded her car...
She went from a Lexus IS300 to...an '03 MB CLK 55 AMG! Major upgrade, huh? Great, now her car is faster than my '05 Audi S4. I guess I can live w/ that for now. LOL!
This is the 2nd MB we've bought in the past year (my previous MB was an S500). Details on her CLK = 38K mi., Pewter Silver, 18" AMG Wheels (225/40s and 255/35s), loaded except for nav. Anyway, here's the pics. Enjoy!

Nice car. Would you mind sharing how much you paid for it? I can see from the pics you have the bi-xenon package and parktronic. Any other options?
I see no Nav, no distronic, can't tell if it has keyless go or rear window sunscreen. I was just curious how much a car like mine would be selling for right now.

So, for your car, maybe mid $40K range would be reasonable. That's my guess.

I did go there a couple of yrs. ago, but dealt w/ a rather pushy salesman and went elsewhere (like you did). This time, Ali (owner) and Bob (finance dept) were so polite and eager to please the wifey and me that we were amazed. I recommend you bypass the salespeople and talk to the owner, if possible.

I just picked up the exact same car on Saturday--but I lucked out getting a lower mileage + NAV.
Tell your wife congrats and enjoy it!!!

Thanks for the replies so far everybody. And even though I handle our finances, she makes more $$$$ than me and she "does" wear the pants in the family. LOL!
It's her dream car and she deserves it. Thanks again, everyone. Glad to be an MB owner again, even if I hardly get to drive it.

Perhaps...I paid $41,000 for mine. I couldn't even find another one for sale within 300 miles of my house (Salt Lake City)!!!!

How's the ride with 18's?

I recommend 18s (especially lightweight forged wheels like BBS RS-GTs, OZ Superleggera IIIs, HRE wheels, etc.) and although I'm not a big fan of the chrome wheels it came with, the wifey loves them and that's all that matters since it's her car.
PICS OR BAN!!!
