I have no interest in owning a newer model Mercedes like a CLK, simply because I can not maintain the car myself. Any new Mercedes must be maintained by a shop with the proper equipment to do so, and that is usually the stealership. I have owned many older Mercedes Benz and I feel confident working on them myself. I realized that M100 engine parts are expensive, but they are probably no more expensive than parts for a newer model high performance Mercedes, and at least I can install them myself on an older car. Also, even if the 6.3 cars do not go up in value, at least they will not depreciate like a newer model would. BTW I am leaning towards buying a 6.3 model.
