Congrats Chappy!

Here's to 7 more!

Jons95c36amg · 06-27-2009, 09:57 AM

Good idea to keep her. Even when it came out 7 yrs ago it still packs a punch with the competitors. Ever thought about another extended warranty like US fidelis?

reserved · 06-27-2009, 06:02 PM

I have the same philosophy with cars - "buy and hold"

da_guitarist · 06-27-2009, 07:08 PM

happy anniversary! haha. my warranty expires in a few weeks. I should probably drop her off for a check up. Doubt they'd like all my new mods. I blacked it out! Pics soon

Chappy · 06-28-2009, 10:15 AM

Thanks guys!

I celebrated yesterday with a 400-mile drive up through Deals Gap, Tail of the Dragon, Cherokee, then back down through Hayesville, Young Harris, then home.

It was a blast tackling those roads with a CL65 Kleemann, SLK 55 and E55.

Frankly, I drive the car so little another extended warranty would probably be a waste of money.

The next upgrade may involve 6.2 liters and seven speeds.

wawy · 06-28-2009, 07:03 PM

Your next upgrade to one of the naturally aspirated 6.3 vehicles would be perfect! It may me the last time we see something like that available and if that's the case it would be something to hold on to just like the CLK. I'd like to keep mine and possibly consider the next generation SLK AMG. A fleet of AMGs would be cool!

Not a bad choice, Might as well just sell the car and get a CLK63 Black series... at $50-60k+ off sticker you can pick them up around $75k, definitely a huge bargain.

How about five speeds and 6 pounds of boost?
