Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker was recently spotted stepping out of a Mercedes-Benz cabriolet on the set of the upcoming movie sequel being filmed in New York City. While it may be difficult to afford some of the fashions seen in the film, a used Mercedes-Benz CLK in New York may offer some of the same flair in the form of automotive styling.

Parker’s appearance offered the first view of the 2011 E-Class convertible, a new model that is expected to supplant the CLK in the German automaker’s product line. Previous reports were only of renderings or spy photos of the two-door roadster.

Buyers will no longer see the CLK, and will instead find the E-class cabriolet as well as a new C-series convertible in coming years, but those interested in a luxury convertible may be able to find used Mercedezs-Benz CLKs in New York for the price of a new midsize sedan thanks to depreciation.

The 2005 model offers a “stylish melding of comfort and performance suitable for all but the most serious driving enthusiasts,” noted Edmunds.com. The car also included a newer automatic transmission for smoother shifts.
