Congrats on your purchase. I'm curious though; was the price you quoted the purchase price of the car, or is that the amount paid after trade in?

I thought so, for some reason coupes in chicago w/o 4matic do not sell.....you would think with this many people the market wouldl still be good. We just slap some snow tires on and go....

Depends how much they gave you for your CLK... If you didn't take a bath on it, then it's a good price.

Can you offer a comparison between the CLK500 on the E550 coupe including comparison of the ride quality?

Why don't I ever find these deals? What were they asking for the car?

The E550 Coupe is a big leap in ride quality and more importanly power, very impressed and I have 11 sec corvettes....in sport mode feels like a C63. Love it, and would not turn back...sound of the exhaust is pretty awesome

I'm looking at a e550 coupe in Chicago myself. Regarding snow tires: This may be a dumb question but do I have to buy a second set of rims for the snow tires or do I just put the tires onto the rims that the summer tires are on?

For snow tires I just went with a 17" tire package from Tire Rack, hard to get 18s and for the price of whats out there got a 17" rim/Tire set deliverd for around $1150

Pretty sure its just prem 1, options just make your car slower so ok with that.....car is great, lots of power. As I stated in the prior post, as fun to drive as my other 500+hp corvettes, and great sound...
