Hi,
I'm looking for a CLK 500 convertible and new to the mercedes brand, I understand the main difference between the two is the ride, stiffer on the avantgarde. WIKI tells me there is a difference in colour tint to the windows and the colour of the grill but that's about it. I think there is more wood trim in the elegance and perhaps standard 17 inch wheels.
Is the ride on the elegance too soft, making the car more vague in the corners?
I'm thinking that cars of this age is more on general condition and replacement shocks are probably on the cards anyway. I assume when replacing the socks (perhaps springs) you can choose either avantgarde or elegance replacements.
