Hey guys, I'm starting my homework ahead of time for when I get a new car this August. Considering a lot of things, including the new CLK550.
I haven't heard much about it. But it's more powerful than the former CLK55!
Is it quick? Is much else new about it?
Does anybody have any ideas on a lease quote for one? Thanks for all inpute!

 

I dont know the lease numbers but its a great car and is FAST!! But i think that for similar money you can maybe get an RS4. But in general, its a great car!!

 

I dont think you can get an RS4 for the same payment as a CLK 550. You can probably get a CLK 550 in the 800/month range. I was researching the CLK350 for a while last year, and found them to be about 550/month on lease.

 

Buddy of mine in a B7 S4 slightly modded (exaust) was dead even against a CLK550 on the highway!

 

Hmm that is good to know. CLK550 is rated at 385+! That is more than the last CLK55!!

Sal told me they normally go for 900-1100/month for lease!! That's insane. Not a great car to lease apparently.
I think I saw an ad on eBay for a CLK350 with 0 down, 24mo, 10K/yr, $450/mo.
