I Dont Have any Requirements Etc. But Enquiring If Anyone Has a Merc Or Any Advice (Would Be Appreciated) Thanks In Advance xx
A: The CLK with a V8 engine will give you great performance. The SL is one of the most complex cars made, and will cost 2-3 times as much to maintain as a CLK. The new CLK 550 is around $65,000, and the SL550 is over $100,000. Tou should be able to get a pre-owned CLK for under $40,000.
