    my wrx vs mercedes

    im looking at selling my impreza once it returns for a mercedes CLK 200 or a mercedes CLK 55 AMG

    im looking at 2nd hand mercedes.. i been talking and looking at cars a few months, but my wrx will be back soon. and its time to be sold.. car has too much heat on it.. so i feel somthing that dosnt stand out as much. being in rich switzerland its flocked with nice mercedes and bmw as the sporty cars rather then rice rockets.


    55 AMG 2000 silver, 35k 76,000km 350hp



    CLK 200 2004 black, 39k 32,000km 165hp

    I never heard of a any Mercedes that are 200's. There are a lot of clk between the 2 models you mention. Sounds like you picked a bottom of the line and the top of the line

    id love a m3, but im trying to get away from the real fast light sporty cars.. the amg is a bit heavy but fast.. not really fast in corners so its kinda a downgrade..

    the clk dosnt have the power.. but its a nice coupe.. i like the idea of having 2 doors..

    problem with the amg its going to be expensive to run and when parts need replacing another story..

    ima check out some used m3s gimme a moment

    problem is all the m3 i find have close to 100,000km i want a car thats done less then 15,000km a year.. plus if i got a m3 it would have to be manual.. i just cant justify a sports car like that in automatic.. and all the good deals i see are autos and around 45k mark.

    yes this is in USD.. economy is high here in prices..

    In europe all the Mercedes lines have smaller engines(due to high gas prices) and those same models arent availble in North America. I use to have the CLK320 from the same model. I loved that car but you have to go with the 430, it just felt stronger. I dont like the new CLKs

    I say go with the benz. M3's are hot and fast, but the body style gets old too quick IMO. The 55 would be a good choice, PM me and I will give you some good mercedes website forum's to help you out.
