My mate in the midlands has an 04 CLK55AMG for sale, depends on the definition of "pocket money" -- And remember kids, RAID is safe and the UPS never fails, and Cisco routers never develop intermittent faults, and external hard drives never fail with only a month's use, and the DNS is reliable and resilient, and the mailserver is protected from all forms of attack, and the replacement UPS will be reliable as the first one was an unusual failure. No one will ever guess /that/ password, the aircon can't fail 285V is close enough to 230, and the QoS on the PWan won't obstruct the tagged traffic.

They seem to go for around �10K, if they're in the condition that I would consider. The AMG CLK 430 was unloved, hence pocket money prices which means I can pick up a good one for about half the price of a CLK55 at most. Most people listened to Mr Clarkson who said the 55 was the only one worth buying.

The 55 isn't much quicker than the 500, and the 500 is a better bet for everyday use (better ride, cheaper parts)... Plus it's a cabrio, which ups the price. -- And remember kids, RAID is safe and the UPS never fails, and Cisco routers never develop intermittent faults, and external hard drives never fail with only a month's use, and the DNS is reliable and resilient, and the mailserver is protected from all forms of attack, and the replacement UPS will be reliable as the first one was an unusual failure.

"We've cut the roof off, fucked the handling, it pisses it down 364 days a year in the UK so you'll never have the roof down and when you go to the rest of Europe you'll keep the roof up to avoid sunburn and to allow the aircon to work. "So we're charging you more money." No thanks. |
