Today I sold my 2008 CLK550. I was able to get it from my parents after they bought their C63 AMG vert , and also after I sold my VW TDI back to VW . It only had about 38,xxx miles when i got it, and it now has 41,704 at the time of sale.
Despite it being a perfect car for California and being comfortable and fast; it wasn’t really what I found useful or really that good for long roadtrips. That V8 might make 400hp/400tq, but it chugs gas since the car weighs 3965 lbs....
So with that, I’m on the search for something new. Not sure what yet. I might want an E30 325i, 135i, older TDI, S2000, a volt (yeah, i know, but CA makes it worthwhile), or who knows what else. I still have this ol thing , and it works sporadically/well enough most of the time, so I’m not in a hurry to get a car.

What kind of mileage did it get? A stock M20B25 is going to get you 18-22mpg depending how you drive it.

city was around 14, highway was maybe 28 if i was going 65 the whole time and using cruise control. I live in Los Angeles so my mpgs will represent tons of traffic.

That’s not too bad. I’ve never been able to get my e30 under 18mpg or over 22mpg. That seems to be the range everyone gets, unless you’re turboing it and shit. Just thought I’d let you know since you threw a volt in that list.

That’s like a dream car for me - V8 in a sophisticated little package.

That’s... considerably better than I get in my C63.
