I've seen a couple CLK55 cabs with a single set of dual tips. Was it that way for certain years? Coupe and Cab different?

tw2 - All CLK cabs came with single muffler dual exhaust. Reason was they had to move spare tire and gas tank to make room for the convert top in the trunk space. My 2006 CLK55 AMG (last production year) has single muffler dual exhausts. MB replaced the CLK55 with the 63 in 2007.

Why waste your time and emotions?

New to MB, but had my fill of guys with BMW "M" pretenders. It used to bug me but then I just stopped caring.

I mean...anyone who knows the provenance of an AMG or M series will not be fooled. Anyone who doesn't notice the joke wouldn't have been impressed anyway.

Also, I wouldn't bother calling anyone out on it. They KNOW already, and if they are unstable enough to stick on improper badging I wouldn't want to push any psycho buttons.

Pushing psycho buttons is what I was born to do. I don't know if I'd ever call anyone out in person that's just around town, in parking lots or at gas stations and such, but if someone shows up to a car meet such as Cars & Coffee or a rally like Automobili Exotica here in Colorado, they should know better. And I would definitely take the opportunity to point out how stupid they are to do so in the presence of people that know the difference between what is an AMG and what is not.

https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...ml#post5923266

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/4243138458.html

**RARE** 2004 Mercedes CLK 500 AMG
AMG Factory 1 of 100 Made (World Wide)
Low Miles: 105K
2 Adult Owner West Coast Car (Garaged Kept)

-OEM Metallic Pewter Exterior
-OEM Black and Red leather with Carbon Fiber Interior
-AMG Package
-OEM Keyless Push Start on shifter
-OEM Keyless Entry
-AMG V8 with 302hp and 339tq
-Fully Loaded with every option, original MSRP was $73,400
-I average 300 miles to a full tank of gas with city and highway driving
-I have all service records and a clean car fax with no accidents
-Clean title in hand, registration paid till August 2014, already smog checked
*4 new tires professionally installed on 12/27
* All services up to date, you are good till the next "service A" is needed.

This garage kept car is in excellent condition, looks brand new from the showroom, the exterior shines and no signs of wear on the inside, the engine bay is spotless, I still have all factory stickers left on the car when it left the dealership.

On all Mercedes forums I see member's asking if anyone has seen this car or has pictures of one. Everyone has heard of the car but never seen one or able to get pictures, well its right here in southern California.

I am in no hurry to sell the car nor is there any issue with the car, in fact it has been a very reliable car and very well taken care of since day one, the owner before me was a Mercedes enthusiast, as am I. Everywhere I go everyone is always looking at the car and thinks its brand new, I get a lot of compliments.

Insurance has it valued at $17,000 (that would be the payout if the car was a total loss)

$14900 obo

this guy joined the forum to clear everything up

Just like the Giorgio Armani designo edition which they only made 100 of in 2004, MBNA could only find 100 of my specific car along with 100 of the same exterior with the navy blue/black interior. Yes I put an AMG license plate frame on my car, big deal, but you are all mistaken, in fact it is an AMG with the AMG kit and rims dubbed the AMG appearance package option when ordering the car OEM from the factory, the exhaust is correct with the single tip exhaust and the only dual tip exhaust which came on the 2004's was the CLK55 which had on the exhaust tip AMG. 2005 started the dual exhaust tip on the CLK500's. Feel free to search the web and try to find my car anywhere in the world and then criticize me, I did my homework when I bought the car, so there you go "bro"....

Also....I did not add the AMG badge, it came with the one owner car which came from Fletcher Jones originally and the only thing added was the plate frame

Glad we could clear this up

We should actually feel sorry for this guy. I imagine that at some point he may have actually owned an AMG and bought custom plates for it (first mistake). But then he probably fell on hard times and had to sell it, but decided to keep the existing plates to save a few bucks.

Every time he looks at the plates on his Toyota it reminds him of better times. Sad.

I wave to other Benz owners but in this case I would have just laughed.

Cheers, Gator
Not me. Having owned a few M3's and one M5 I always made a point of waving to the sorry badge imposters. And while I have on a couple of occasions suffered the goading into racing from a light by young spoiled M drivers, I have NEVER had a BS badged anything try it. Not that I would in any case - but at least they are aware of their folly.

Has a post EVER been so inappropriate?

Just wondering which requires more: The amount drugs needed to create such drivel or the amount needed just to listen to this noise?
