2001 CLK55 AMG
My new W208 CLK55

Totaled my last car which was a '97 Infiniti QX4 with over 250k miles on it

Found an amazing deal on an '01 CLK55 AMG with 65k miles, fully serviced, and with aftermarket DVD player and screens on the headrest from my dad's coworker. I had bought the QX4 from this same fellow before and knew that he maintained his automobiles with the utmost care. Needless to say, I'm currently in love with this car...



I want to start modding the exterior but have no idea where to begin. I'm guessing clear corners and possibly a de-emblem and grill change. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Oh and I got the car for 10k flat.

Wow, great deal....I got mine a year ago with 90k for $6000 but had to do some $2000 worth of maintenance on it...

Welcome!

Are you in Maryland? I actually talked to a guy in Friedrick about a car just like that one a couple months ago. Good buy either way.

Sweet another MD CLK55 owner? If I had time, and energy I'd set up a MD, NoVa, AMG owners meet. Seems there are a fair number in the area.

Good for you. Even though I bought a CLK55 cabrio, I wondered what happened to that one. Glad someone on the board has it.

I'd keep it relatively stock looking (wheels/tyres etc ok) but ramp up the ponnies under the hood!
