My Take: For those wanting a coupe, the CLK will be discontinued in favor of the E-Class sedan and coupe. Right now, it’s a VERY good time to get into a CLK350 or CLK550. The money factor is practically non-existent so all your payments are going straight towards the car’s value and taxes. Remember DrJ and Getpaid? They both got CLKs and they got real sweet deals. Check out April’s comments from DrJ to get an idea about the pricing on the CLKs. Unofficially, I can tell you this…my estimates are $716 per month at invoice, over 48 months/15k per year. There is $6000 dealer cash on this ride…$27 per month = per $1000 borrowed. That’s $162 per month off if you do the math, more if you tack on taxes.
I’m not going to comment too much on the CLS and CL. Suffice to say, the CL is not worth talking about and the CLS550 is actually a decent lease, not great, but acceptable.
