Opinions on the CLK500?

Servicing that'll be a pain. Get a 1-series bimmer. Fast, nice, and the only thing you'll ever have to pay for is tires.
 
yes, i've heard about reliablity issues. i wonder how that carries forward for different years. i'm thinking of an 05 or 06. need a good deal on a sexy used car. 135's are cool, but even the few used ones will be too much. don't want to spend more than 25k. this thing is nicer-looking and less common than comparable bimmers.

i'll get one that gives me at least a year's worth of driving under warranty. one reason i'm not favouring a late model 3 series is that they look cheap inside. although the idea of performance is nice, i'm just a regular driver who has never driven anything other than boring cars (coming from an '00 acura tl). but i would like more hp...the acura had 225. would like at least 300.

You'd get a good deal on a used M3, but them shits is expensive to get fixed. A reliable 300hp car won't be inexpensive.
 
sorry--i am a bimmer man--nice car, but merc's always has service issues.

and don't be swayed by HP--bmws are know for lower HP but much better performance than other cars with greater hp in the same class--its about how the hp gets to the wheels that matters.
 
i'd get an m3, but i don't drive stick and don't necessarily want to here in socal. i don't know much about smg/smgii, but what little i've read is that the "auto mode" isn't that great. if i want the convenience of an auto, i should get a proper auto. i think.

eddy, you're right...hp at the crank vs at the wheels is an important distinction from what i gather. but if a typical bimmer that i've looked at (let's say 330ci from 04 or 05) has around 225 hp, the tranny (don't get excited jnevstein) would have to be pretty awesome to compare favourably with 300 hp, no? i'd like some push to the acceleration, especially 30-60 or 60-90 on the highway, etc. that seems pretty straightforward and the merc should do well, no?

any other input is appreciated. thanks.
 
get it,.nice cars!!! i just ditched bmw after 10 yearts for my first mercedes!!! great choice
 
hayez, what bimmer did you drive, and what did you think of it, and what merc did you get?

now i'm reconsidering a bimmer...if i can get an 06 330ci (255hp) with around 40k miles for 25k (good but not impossible deal),
that could work.

had a 328 i just sold and i still have a 03 325 my wife drives,there good cars but since i actually got a mercedes it drives alot better,and the look is alot better!!! bmw have never done me wrong just feel theres to many of them now...the clk500 is a great car,i liek the hardtop better the n the convertible
 
lol at old man's car...others have said that it's a girly car too. i just don't get these comments. not based in reality.

i'll bet money that the vast majority of people driving this car are males 20-40.
 
i should know how, but i don't want to drive a stick, ma1ng. automatic transmissions are purdy good these days, b0r.
 
For a 2-door mercedes, I'd go with the SL-class. Much sweeter. More $$$$ though.

CLK is kinda the lame duck of the Benz line.
 
it looks nice, no doubt, but I'm not a fan of 2 doors anymore. I prefer a 4 door with decent leg room. I have a coupe now and have long grown tired of it, although it was fun at first. I also would like a hybid. My bro just got a hybrid highlander and its pretty sweet.
 
agreed, late model SLs are nice, but even if i got a great deal (you can get them under 40 w/o difficulty), it's not something i'd want to keep around here. it's not a shitty area, but i wouldn't want to park that on the street here. probably not the clk either. hopefully a garage spot is available in my complex.

if y'all have other suggestions, throw them out. g35 is ok, but it's way too common and the clk is much more appealing.

clk, what do you mean by lame duck?

lestat, if i find a good car in the SD area, would you check it out for me? :D

i'm out of weed.

A roomy 2 door is my favorite. Corvettes are surprisingly roomy. My mustang is pretty good too. If I want the roomies, I drive the M5.

A tiny 2 door drives me nuts, especially at 6'2".

I drove a chrysler crossfire once for a weekend. Never again. I was so cramped.
 
clk is the sporty coupe....clk has 5.0 in the tiny ass body..shit flys....
of c ourse the sl is top of the line...but clk is no way a lame duck...save that title for the 230...but still a 230 thats nicer then any american car....lmfao....

i bought an 05 CLK 320 last week. it's a cabrio and we love it. i've always
opted for BMW in the past and i wanted to change it up a bit.

i've owned a host of german cars, including 6 porsches and i've never been
disappointed. yes, i've paid some extravagant repair bills, but if you want
point A to point B transportation, buy a ford.:cool:

shit, my wife talked me out of buying a gallardo. ( i have no common sense
when it comes to passion. )

the repairs though are usually not as common as with american cars....all my bmws i kept till well over 100k and never had any issues besides a alternator and a starter 1 time
 
The C63 AMG is a merc I'd buy in a second if I get busier. Not sure if I'd want to have a baby and a 110 lb dobie in the back though.

you too? lol, you don't know what you're talking about, man. just because older peeps sometimes drive sporty cars, that doesn't make it an old man's car. if you see that car, you expect an old man to be behind the wheel, even though it's unlikely to be true in reality?

:heart:

Save your money and get a reliable car that is not overpriced. Let's face it, men buy these cars as extention of their small peniles.

This car looks like a Beemer but is just made better and cost 1/2 the price

Jeez, he's got an Acura TL now, an Accord would be a step down.

Besides, the new Accord is too soft. Too much like a Camry now.

I think the CLK is a good fit for JA.

An accord is not a step down from an Acura. It's practically the same car. The camry is a pf oc junk and not good looking

And a step down to any car would be pulic transit or a GM ;-)
