2005 CLK55 AMG
Just picked up my W209 CLK55 last week!!

Hey all,


Picked me up an 05 CLK55 this past weekend! Excited. I've been wanting this car for a loong time.

Got some questions for the pros,

Car has about 55k miles, was thinking about doing a tranny flush or drain and fill because i wasn't sure if the previous owner did one before. Better to be safe than sorry. Also, spark plugs? I know I have 16 (FML) but I usually work on my cars myself. Difficult? or just bring it to the dealer.

Any other things I should know...good or bad about this ride?


Thanks! Will posts pics later

congrats!

i regret not getting an '05 myself.

at close to 60K you'd probably want to change the plugs and all fluids. Not too sure how difficult it is to change the plugs...

DIY: spark plug. I know its not the CLK but the process should be the same.
