Cheap..ish C55 in red....

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
Red is very rare on AMGs, and in fact not popular on MBs full stop.

It's a bargain for someone - especially someone who likes red!!

I saw a red facelift SLK200 this evening, and it looked fantastic.
 
Have to agree red is a strange colour on these such cars.

Saying that my brother a few years back bought one of the first Lexus is200's and in bright Red, it actually looked very good.

Much less common that any other.

Your right, someone who likes red will get a lot of car for passat money :)
 
I like it a lot ...

not that cheap though, is it?
 
Saw a red (Fire Opal?) Black Series in America last month. In flesh it's absolutely stunning!

That Black series car look lovely and somehow look hugely more attractive that the C55 posted (which itself is a nice car) Good picture.
 
I don't really know if its cheap..but £18K for a car of such performance does to me sound cheap?

The CLK Black (red) looks great.

Sorry I'm randomly surfing tonight but what a car for boring box money :)

I saw that a few days ago and until then I wondered how one could make an AMG loose more money than they do already. I now know how.

Its a lot of car for little money and if someone likes red on these and doesnt care a hoot about depreciation, then they have a corker.
 
How much is a respray?? :rolleyes: :D
 
I like it. And £18k does sound cheap for a 4 year old AMG.
 
I like it in red , my dads neighbour has a bright red ( same as the CLK Black ) SLK 200 ...

Looks really really nice i have to be honest ....
 
I like the colour, I like the car, I like the price, It's not an auto though.

Niceish spec I guess.

Shows the flaws in the Russian VIN checker though...

Code 527 is actually comand, code 386 is UHI phone pre-wire! 618 is Xenons not Halogens, 810 is Harman Kardon not BOSE.
 
Do it, do it :bannana:

Looks quite nice in red, decent value considering what it is...

Spent a lot modding mine, wonder what would happen if I bought a proper AMG? Look for Brabus, Kleeman or Vath bits?
