2000 Chevy Impala LS
cant make up my mind!!!!
i gotta prob, i got pushed into gettin a 2000 chevy impala Ls 6 months ago. i love everything about it on the interior and exterior cept the fact that it is a sedan. yes im only 20 years old but i want a coupe or a roadster, got my eyes on 4 different cars but cant make up my mind, BMW Z4 3.5i, NISSAN 350Z roadster, INFINITI G-35 coupe, MAZDA RX-8, and MB SLK has won my attention.
I recently test drove a 2002 SLK 32 AMG and the salesman nearly killed us 4 times turning but the acceleration was mind-boggling i got that thing up to 145 mph on the highway in nebraska!! He also told me that the SLK class was changing its look. so i checked it out and i think im in love, nothing would thrill me more than getting the 55 AMG in my garage. But my concern is money right now i can afford a car's payment as high as $900 a month but by the time i'll get one i'll have more than enough money to put down and have close to $2,000 a month as a paycheck.
But i cant make up my mind if i want the SLK 350 or the 55 AMG? Price is the only thing that can make up my mind, anyone have suggestions?

I already made a reply in the "SLK 32" Forum...
But anyway.. The 350 will be about $45 - $48 thousand, while the 55 AMG will run around $62 thousand. I was in the same position about a month ago when I was debating on ordering either the 350 or the 55. If you were a fan of the SLK a bit longer, or as long as I have been... You wont mind having the 350 for the first couple months of owning it, until you find out what a AMG really is. The AMG is a Beast. Need I say more?
Put down a down payment, and count the days off until about October.
