RTKILLA, Schaumburg BMW has a Blue M5... very sweet! My neighbor is Kevin Clifford (Clifford Chrysler) He has a V12 SL600, I guarantee that car would smoke an L. It is an insane car! Anyone know how much a used 600 goes for?

 

Don't do it, man!

 

but if you do...part it out and put me in line cause your truck is great!

 

Killa,



base price $67,400

"Mercedes claims the CLK55 will bolt to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds"

"AMG's magic tweaks have this engine making heaps of torque from just off idle to a peak 376 foot-pounds at just 3,000 rpm"

Pretty much the same gonad crushing thrill only with ssssssssssssssstyle.

scrap the ragtop idea.

just my $.02

 

If you get anything get the new Lexus 430. Would waste that Mercedes in any category (performance, looks, etc.).

 

Well down here i get to see al those cars mentioned just about everyday, i woudl have to go for the M5 or the CLK55AMG, the lexus dont really like that much but its your pick.

 

RTK, when/if you sell, remember to advertize properly.
I will sell MY truck for these...

to which Mercedes are you referring to Bubba?

 

RT - don't do. You have to much money and time invested in your L to get rid of it, and you will regret it. If you must get something else, get a second car then.

Or if you must sell your L get something nicer and more exotic then a Mercedes, like have a Nissan Skyline imported, or get an NSX, or how about the new Lotus Elise - that is a smaller 2 seater roadster, barely weighs anything and is fast as hell.

 

Ill be honest my Dad has a 430 cabriolet. Its not a amg, but it goes good not L fast but the ride is unreal. My L gets compliments alot but the Benz makes you like a movie star lol! But like a few guys said its apples and oranges. The Benz is in a hole diff league but if you want a sporty lux car the Benz is great. I steal my dads when ever he lets me!
Just think if you dont get it you will be forced to keep a BAD *** L how terrible (feels good dont it!)

 

BMW, hands down. Benz says rich tennis playing yuppie with a small pecker (no offense to your pops). BMW says James Bond pimp-*** ******* machine. Our Ls are nice but... damn!

 

Joe,

Well here's my opinion. I love those cars and especially the AMG's. But didn't you just turn 21? EVERYONE (ladies too) will think you're driving DADDY'S car. I see mostly 45- 50 year old attorneys driving those where I live. Yes, I'd love to have one, but not until I'm that age. Your truck is cool for any age, plus I don't think the Benz would be very fun at the strip....and we all know how you have that "itch" to make things faster and try it at the strip. Admit it - you'd love to race a pompous pr*ck who has one of those with your truck and kick his ****, wouldn't you?!!

Guess it's just me but doesn't the Lexus remind you of pimped Karmon Ghia or even worse, an Audi TT (no offense Skydive69)....or something.
