Considering E55 - Can you advise ?
Im considering changing my 04 plate clk240 cab for a 03 plate E55.
I'm going to the dealer tomorrow for a test drive and i'm sure i'm going to love it.
Is there anything i need to know before i buy ?

Oh to see the look on his face when he stomps it for the first time.
CLK240....around 170HP
E55......476-490
This is gonna be sweet.
Let us know what you thought....

It's a whole different ballgame! The one thing to check on a used E55 is the tires...the last thing an E55 owner does before he gets rid of his ride is smoke the tires yelling whoppee!

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, its a beast........
Took it out yesterday with dealer. Nice and comfy, whole family had plenty of room. Then he says to me "open it up if you want" so guess what, foot down warp speed 9 - Its amazing. Not sure about the colour - its tanzanite blue and i'm a silver freak. Going to see what deal he'll give me on my 240 cab. I didnt get a chance to read your post re tyres but did check them anyway and its going to need a new set pretty soon.
