clk 500 or clk 55 amg

hello everyone, rsr911(owen) has been very helpful in helping me determine what car i should get. I now want everyones opinion on this one.

Should i buy a '03 clk 500 for about 23grand, or should i buy a '03 clk55 amg for 31grand? insurance isnt really much of an issue, and monthly payments isnt either. what would be the better deal?

o yeah, some please inform me if u know someone selling either car. thanks everyone!

If mileage is the same then an 8k difference is far less than when both were new. Better brakes, suspension and an extra 60bhp. Also, nice to have the AMG cache if you can afford it. You're coming from a 55k so you won't be blown away by either but 362bhp softens the blow more than 302.
