19 year old with BENZ!!!???

Man! Too many rich kids on this board. I was driving a 1985 Pontiac Trans Am at you age. I personally preferred the W208 look and my wife's CLK looks great in red. Changing the OEM wheels is a must because the CLK looks better with rims at least 17 in diameter. It cost my about $2000 for a set of staggered AMG/ Micheline Pilot Sport setup and the appearance change completely. As for 2003 Clk, it is a great car also but after owning several Benz, my rule is don't buy the first year production car and wait for the mid-production upgrade. This is because all the glitches will be tweak out and more optional equipments become standard equipments with a minor increase in price. You get more for your bucks. This is why I am not considering a new CLK55 for a while.

Now, if you are the type of person that need to be the first on the block to own anything, then the 2003 CLK is your choice. What ever you choose you will have fun with it. Another thing, if you do like to race you may want to invest in a CLK430 or a CLK55. The CLK320 is not as fast as it looks. If you can afford it, a preowned CLK55 is the way to go and you wouldn't be upgrading for a WHILE!!! Good luck.
