CLK 55 AMG
Hello - New AMG owner here!

We picked up our "new" CLK 55 AMG last week. We love the car so far! It still has a few warranty issues to iron out, but it sure has been fun so far.

CLK55 AMG
I just picked mine up on Wednesday, a "new" 2003. The CLK55 is one awesome car! I think the gas pedal is hooked up to me somehow because every time I push it to the floor it makes me smile from ear to ear. Good luck with you new toy!

CLK55 AMG 2001
New Too

I just got an 01 CLK55 AMG this weekend. Had it two days and am in the same boat smiling constantly. I came from a '06 G35 and was happy with that when I got it, but this is another world. The tightness in the way it drives and sounds is apparent from the moment I get in the seat.

Someone noted above regarding an event in ATL. I am in LA, CA, so that's a bit far, but I'd love to hear if anyone knows of events in southern CA. Thanks in advance. Happy drivin' all.

Pretty much sealed the deal for me too.

I was pretty set on getting a high mileage silver C32 for (cheap, fast, 4 door family sedan look hoping that ill get out of my car sickness/obsession/disease)... too bad I had to see & drive the clk55
