'06 ML500 w/Apperance pkg & '07 SL550 w/AMG pkg
Opinions Requested!!!
Tomorrow is the deadline for me to make any changes on my CLK55 order. As it stands right now, the car will be Alabaster White with Charcoal/Dk Blue two-tone interior. I have chosen the Lighting Pkg., Active Ventilated Seats, DVD Nav. and Keyless Go. I am not getting the Parktronic, Rear Sunshade, Phone or CD changer. I wanted to see what you guys think of the color combo. My last car was Brilliant Silver and I want to go with something unique this time around. Any imput will be appreciated (Good or Bad)!!!

Doesn't the rear sunshade come with the glass moon roof?
Why no CD?
I love the white and think ash interior looks best w/ it. Not so sure about the charc and blue.

I give you a thumbs up for your choice. Sounds like a good one. The CD changer would be nice, but whatever makes you happy.

A darker/metallic blue wouldn't be a too bad of a choice for such a car. Do CLK's come with Distronic? Maybe different wheels.
Isn't it that the CD would cost you only about $450 compared to $500 in the future. It wouldn't hurt your financing, and would help the re-sale in the future. Just my thought![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Hope that helps.

Get the sunshade and go with the ash....Blue and white sounds nice now but can you look at it every day?? It may look good on paper but think about 6 months down the road and resale value!!...I would not buy it.......Just my 2 cents as you requested.

I appreciate everyones imput so far and I have seriously consider Parktronic. The reason that I am not going to get it is due to the fact that I did not have it on my W208 & never run into anything, so why pay the extra $1080? As for Distronic, it is not an option for the CLK55, but would not get it even if it was. In So.Cal. the traffic is so bad it would be a waste of $3k!! I originally had the rear sunshade in the order, but took it out because I will be tinting the windows and barely used it in my previous CLK. Now, about resale, I thought about that, but I will be leasing this one for 36 or 48 mos and don't see myself trying to get out early. The CD changer was probably the most difficult choice. The reason I am not going to get is because I only used it a handful of times in my other car. I find that the I listen to the radio more than CD's and if I want to listen, I still have the single disc. Again, thanks for the replies and now just have to wait a month and a half to start enjoying it!!!!!

Thanks and for the C55, they should be arriving in late July to early August. We have two cars in production and only one is spoken for at the moment! Yes, the CD can be added later as all the cars are pre-wired for that option.

Mark that sounds good. Alabaster 55 is going to be hot, especially with quads and the nicer 18" amg's.
mid july is when the 2005's roll in?

Just a note on the rear sunshade. I have my windows tinted, and I use the rear sunshade all summer long when parked and it really reduces interior temperautre...and I live in Iowa! lol Just something to think about!
Awesome car! I cannot wait to sell mine and graduate to the 55.

Marcus: have you ever considered the "Lolith Blue", I saw that color on the sample plate at a dealership the other day, the salesman told me that its a new color for the 209 in '05. I think that color looks STUNNING!!!!!!
Or is Designo Mocha Black available for the 55? I think that is a very cool color too!!!!
I agree that you should get the sunshade. The hot chick behind you never noticed that you're looking at her from the rear view mirror!!! Forget about the Parktronic, IMO, it is a feature that tells people that you cant parallel park! Hahaha!!! Sorry, TJ!

Sorry to hijack your thread... I deleted my post. ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
p.s. I like silver still because it is beautiful and easy to take care of, and so looks good for a long time.

Well, I decided not to get the rear sunshade, nor the Parktronic. Sorry to disappoint some of you on the board, but I truely appreciate all of the imput!!! I really have no regrets about the sunshade, but the Parktronic I am still on the fence. The deciding factor was the exterior color that I chose. I feel that the sensor in the bumpers will be too noticible with the White!

What is that suppose to mean? On your sensors, can you see the black, rubber gaskets around the edges?
