IMHO, the CLK63 BS is the best of the AMG breed to-date. I'm not sure where my car crazy insanity will lead me next but a used Ford GT or Porsche turbo are now starting to get my attention.

I usually get my open air thrills on two wheels, there are no current AMG cabs that I would purchase much less trade my BS for. That being said the Aston Martin DBS Volante has really caught my eye, it is a stunning looking automobile and if I had to go out and buy a drop top today it would be the DBS Volante.

How about the SLR convertible.... or at least after it drops its value a bit more. I am not sure how they're holding up, but as for the regular SLR, I've seen a few that have sold for $180k to $210k over the past couple of years.... that's about 60% drop from MSRP

I have seen a couple of SLR conv. with less than 1000 miles go for 265k. I really dont get why this car is taking such a beating. It is a monster performer , and not too shabby looking either.

IMO the SLR has pretty lackluster performance compared to other cars at or near its original pricepoint. it is a glorified GT, you could spend a couple more bucks and get a Carrera GT. I dont really think the SLR has taken more of a beating than most other cars, the economy the past 2.5 years has killed resale values on just about all automobiles, take a look at some auction prices...3 year old F430s going for $130k, DB9s going for under $100k, you can pretty much take any 2-3 year old car out there and buy it for 40-50% off MSRP.

The clk 63 bs is one if the best mercs ever built in my opinion. The bs is a very special car, any one would be lucky to own one. i wouldn't even consider trading a bs for another amg (unless if its a clk DTM or sl65 black series). not even an SLR. (i know im
). If you wanted another ***** out amg i would go for the sl65 black series hands down. you can even find f430's with low miles for a great price. Good luck on your decision
