Possible change of new car plans....
I am going to go test drive this next weekend when I go home for a buddys wedding. I previously posted about the next M3/current C6 but the CLK has always been one of my favorite cars and since this is currently being discounted $11,000, I might have to jump on it BIG TIME if its anything close to what I am looking for.

Awesome, obviously an 05........the dual exhaust setup looks great on the CLK 55 (much more aggressive than the 03-04 models).
A Mars Red 05 CLK55 coupe, that's a rare car. I would definitely drive that.
Won't see yourself coming and going in that ride.
$11k off is a great $, assuming its new.

I really have no need for this car yet (really about a year away since I am still dealing with undergrad drivers) but the offer is too good to pass up. My bank account should know my decision come 4PM on 7/16 though.

How old is the guy that bought the CL65? Isn't he like 23 or so???
Outside of a professional athlete, it's amazing that someone could afford that car at his age while actually making it on his own. He gets the

They definately started in 05, maybe he just got confused on the year. I see CL65's all over the place in NY (I saw 5 in one day last week), but CLK55's are not as common. I've still yet to see an SL65 though

I've still yet to see an SL65 though Thats crazy that there are so many in NY. I've seen 2 or 3 SL65's in Atlanta but I have yet to see a CL65. They are gorgeous cars but I personally don't think they are worth the $50,000+ difference over the 55's.

I love how all of the guys looking for a new car...if its a Benzino...It MUST end in AMG. Love the car Not a fan of the color, I personally think you should only buy a Benz in Designo Black. Good luck with the car

If I were to end up buying this, I would go ahead and pay 12-14 months off the finance and leave it in GA. It's a strange situation but I doubt if I will be able to find a car like this for the $$$ again.
However, if I end up not liking it then I don't have anything to really worry about.

I've never seen one on the road, and this is the first time I've seen a CLK in red on the 'net...
Looks fantastic in red
I drive a SMR CL, so I'm partial to red...

I like the CLK55 just because i never see them. Otherwise im not a fan of the CLK lineup.
Not my color but its def not ugly if i saw them on the road. I say go for it.

Mars red in person looks great on any Benz with the AMG package.
