I am about to buy 2003 CLK55 AMG anything to check?

I will be in Seattle and

buy CLK55 AMG (2003) since I love the new bodystyle..

one has 32k miles, for 33K <--SIlver

and one has 25K miles, for 38K <-- Black..

I love black but the price is the many issue here

the silver one that I am more leaning toward has 1month warranty left..

and wondering if there is anything that I need to check befoe warranty expires..

and is it good idea to buy CLK55? over E46 M3?

I need to have automatic for future wife...

I currently have b5 S4 stg3 (est. 500hp) so I don't expect neither to be faster than my s4 but how is drive comfort or easy to drive for woman?

and also I will get exhaust and Suspension right after warranty expires..

what is good brand?? I like Eisenmann and H&R.. (any good place to buy? or any other option within the price range?)

Thank you//

btw, I will be seeing you guys often as soon as I get CLk55..

I recommend you get a VMI. A VMI is the vehicle master inquiry. The seller can get it for free from his local Mecedes dealer. It lists the vehicle's original equipment, and the service history. The service history will include the dates and mileage of all work performed by any Mercedes Benz dealer (which should have been free for the first 48 months/50K).

I have an 03 55 with warranty until may 5, 2007 that just hit 19000 miles yesterday its silver w/black/merlot leather. Only 1 scratch on it the size of a dime. I can let it go for $39,000. The car is in mint condition. The Dealer is going to replace the passanger seat leather and heat seat pad because the heated seat is not working. Has recently new toyo proxes 4 tires with 5000 miles on them. I bought the car with 12800 miles October 9th 2006. Im still searchin for a P-Car. The car also has a K40 Calibre Front and Rear Radar detector Integrated into it ($1700). PM me if your interested. And ill email you some pictures of it to.

Thanks,
matt

haters crazy
Only thing you need to check is your pocket . You will love the car. I have the eisnemann race exhaust and love it. Also have the kleemann supsension on my 55 (too soft) and H&R Cup kit on my 430 (I like it alot). I'm going to get the KW v.2's for the 55 soon. Good luck on your purchase.
