Back into a Mercedes again
Our last Mercedes was a 1996 C280 which we drove for 13 years, which was replaced by an Acura TSX. After seeing this beauty at the M-B dealer next door to Acura, three days later we traded in our '06 BMW 330ci convertible. After 6 months, we are very happy with the car overall, although in times where so much economic news is bad, you definitely feel the expense of owning a Mercedes. So far, three trips to the repair garage for minor glitches. First service appt. is $238 vs. $59 paid for our first Acura service. This car gets a ton of attention and compliments.
Great car and fun to drive
I traded up from the SLK 280 for the CLK 350. Does not have the same handling as its baby brother, but the advantages far outweigh this fact. Very comfortable interior and leather seats are very comfortable. The model I have does not have park assist, but I would recommend this option. Looking out the back window it is tough to determine where the car ends. I have the older navigation system which is not easy to use, but the newer models I believe now come with the upgraded voice system. Quiet and very smooth ride. Plenty of acceleration when you need it. I am averaging about 19 mpg combined city and highway, about what Mercedes advertises. HK sound system is great. Nice instrument panel.

Used, abused and restored.
I got a deal on a 2008 CLK550 Cabriolet about 3 years ago. The top needed replacement and the run flats were shot. It had over 80K on it, but no check engine or alarms. So after tires and top and a seat belt, I got addicted. I haven't had this much fun since I had my RX7. The 5.5 engine is as bulletproof as any of Mercedes 8s. Most of them I've had in the past develop minor leaks, but this one is still as clean as the day it was built. Using it's paddle shifters or automatic/stick, you can wind it out and jump it from 70 to 110 at the drop of a dime and handle it like it's on rails. The interior responds to leather conditioners and cleaning like an expensive purse, even in the baking Florida sun. The cost of top and top hydraulics should be considered when evaluating this car. Top replacements easily approach $2K, and hydraulic top components are equally as costly to replace. But if you enjoy a superbly handling car with breathtaking acceleration along with the comfort and maneuverability of a sports car, you'll enjoy this car.
Love my CLK 550!
I've had my CLK 550 for years, I bought it new. I've put 97k + miles on it and in that time it had only needed new tires and one set of rear brake pads replaced, aside from the usual oil changes and MB routine car care. Now heading for 15 years, it needed the transmission replaced plus other issues. I fixed it because I love how this car drives. It has an incredible engine and at highway speeds it's a joy to drive. It's roomy and luxurious inside. The cons are that it's a coupe, so no back doors and there is some noise from the road that can be heard. It doesn't have the latest technology inside but I'm ok with that.

Awesome car. Very sporty and fun to drive. Gas mileage seems to be fairly good so far for someone with a lead foot like me.
