Hey guys,
Looking at picking up a used W209 (2002-2009) CLK 55 AMG next year. It would be used as a DD here in the winter and summer.
I would be performing most of the work myself and I fully realize that spending several grand on parts every few years (eg front brakes) are part of owing a German high performance car.
What are your opinions on:
a) reliability of the vehicle in Calgary in the winters
b) general cold/snow drive ability of the vehicle (with studded snow tires)
