OK time to consider a change, opinions requested

Hi folks
I am fairly new to the whole MB thing having only purchased my C43T back in March of 06. However, in that short period I can say that I am very happy with the car in general and the AMG bit in particular
As the boss has now decided that she wants a new car, and has also voluntered to have it as the main family transport, I am now "officially" free to buy something a little less family oriented It still has to take the children in the back though if necessary.
The two considerations in the MB camp so far are either a CL55 or an S55. Informed opinion on either would be most welcome?

I think thats down to you, CL looks better but not as practical. Either way, go for a late 52 onwards so you can choose supercharged or not ( like you need to choose! )

How much do you want for the C43 & have you ever used Mercury specialists in Aldershot?

Almost any MB with '55' on the back should suffice

Yes, Mercury were recommended to me just after I bought the car and I have been very happy with them.
I haven't really thought about how much the car is worth yet as I am only just starting the think about a replacement.
