Thats what i cant decide i like the idea of having more room and the power difference... i just love the W208 styling and the W211 styling thats why i am asking for peoples input on the subject.

Thats what i have now and the price to get it to hp that i would like is the cost of an E55 with the same power and less miles... im prolly goinng with the E55 just need to find a white or black one... i cant decide on my new car color... my CLK is black on black now... i hate these decisions.

ill be paying auction price for the car since i work for a used car dealer... i have noticed that on this section of the forum alot of people seem to have really negative attitudes towards others.. thats just my opinion from what i have read.

the mileage on my car was 30k, you can get a fairly poor quality e55 for under 20k, remember you got service a car that once cost 90k its not cheap. the only e55 i saw going for that much had a missing **** lever boot and had a pretty bad accident. the alternative is a fairly high mileage benz at about 76-99k miles.
my advice is if your getting the car with any history or title problems, dont, if you do make sure you pay the 150 bucks for the inspection and comb the car for any problems within the 7days so you can make sure you dont get screwed.
i saw a fairly slick e55 on manheim in nevada 76k ish miles in pretty good shape for 20k
i would try to get that if i was you and you guys use manheim.
