Default Bought CPO CLK430, leaving the Audi family

I haven't posted much, but I have found a tremendous amount of useful info here. I really enjoyed the 2.7T, but my wife fell in love with this CLK. It's a '99 with 15 more months of factory extended warranty, 27k miles, for $22k. V8 power and exhaust note are very nice. We really won't miss the extra space and doors of the A6 since we have an FX35.

I will miss this forum. The CLK forums are not nearly as active or helpful. I'm sure I'll be back in another Audi someday...

Default Congratulations!

The car is built like a tank and a blast to drive. There are some swesome aftermarket tuners who provide gorgeous cat-back systems that give your car a throaty sound and snappy response

Best wishes
eric

Default What does not having space in the CLK have to do with you other car.

You can't drive them both at once and spread out the load.
