Which car do I sell?
I have a red 2008 clk 550 coupe - 92k miles
and a black 2012 c300 sport - 74k miles If you had to keep one which would it be? Both are automatics. |

I would 100% keep the CLK. I drove one for a short while and it was really a blast, loved how much torque it had down low. As long as you don't mind filling up more frequently, it's an easy choice for me. Also, it's probably one of the cleanest examples I've seen. Can't go wrong with the 204 either, also super clean.

The CLK, better sound, handling, speed and of course torque. No need to at the moment. |

If you are asking a car enthusiasts forum, they will definitely tell you to keep the CLK.

that’s the angle I always have to take with my wife - by the lessor expensive version of what I want - get her into the experience and then go buy what I actually wanted
Worked with the boat - had to buy 2 just ok boats. |

CLK is a classic. I almost got one back when I bought my E92, but I was concerned with MB reliability. I wish I had one now, especially one that well kept.
C300 is just another car. |

Sell both and get an AMG. Pointless to have 2 cars which are similar in scope and performance. To me the CLK looks dull and uninteresting to be honest!

Has amg suspension & exhaust and body kit and wheels. Adding a cutout for laughs. The vintage of it has really grown on me - I’m surprised by it. I’m totally on board with what you’re saying though the insurance is pennies for this car given it’s power and non amg status. |
