Used CLK55 --> Essential options?
So I'm still looking around for a 2003 CLK55. There are certain options I'd like to have in my car, including Xenon/Bi-Xenon, Navigation, and Keyless-go. So, when I'm looking at these listings, I search for these options - the more the better.
Therefore, I have 2 questions:
1) What options are most important to you? For example, I've heard some are unhappy with the navigation of this year. Any others I haven't listed?
2) Supposing I will later add on these missing options, which will serve best to get already on the car (i.e. OEM). This would be for both a cost and availablility standpoint. For example, I'm assuming that Keyless-go would be either unavailable, or very expensive to have added after it has left the factory; thus, I should make sure to get it on the car already. Whereas, I know xenons can be added later. But, then there's the third-party addon versus factory addon in terms of cost and functionality.
Appreciate any input,

Those three were the big ones when I was looking for a used one.
But it would always be either navi and xenon, or key-less go ad xenon...OR both but at a price I did not want to pay.
You can always get factory OEM xenons. And get a better navi system than the Merc one.

2003 clk55
I just bought mine with only 13k miles and it has all the options except keyless go(the one i can live with out)
I dont know why people are complaining about the navigation, it seems to work fine and hasnt steered me wrong yet and its pretty easy to use.
So far i love it and the power is amazing!!!
