The best insurance website was allstate since they showed the change in premium in the drop down boxes when making changes:

Too bad their insurance premiums were too high by comparison. Their website made it easy to see how changes in your policy affect the insurance premium cost.
CLK55 Warranty
There is a variety of companies that offer used car warranties. Authorized warranty sellers (such as used car dealers) are typically able to offer a warranty that covers either the power train or full bumper to bumper protection. The CLK55 AMG was not eligible for a third party pre owned car warranty at this time. Mercedes Benz does offer an extended warranty for their certified pre owned vehicles.

The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is one fast SUV. The 6.1 liter V8 Hemi makes 420 horsepower and 420 torque so the SRT-8 Grand Cherokee has plenty of raw power. Standard features include 4×4 drivetrain mated to a 5 speed automatic transmission. No manual transmission is available for this quick sport utility vehicle.
If fuel economy is of any concern to you then forget about this GC. Many people have reported as low as 11mpg city and a measly 15 miles per gallon on the highway. You gotta pay to play-this is Dodge Viper city MPG territory but at least the Viper still gets up to 22mpg on the freeway. Expect repeated trips to the gas station if you have a lead foot.
A fully loaded 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee includes all the features you would expect when paying about 44k for a new vehicle including DVD Navigation and HID headlights (with the proper package selected). Current purchase incentives include the cash for clunkers used car trade in program, the sales tax credit for new cars purchased in 2009, $500 cash bonus allowance, and an amazing 0.0 % financing for up to 72 months!

Car insurance rates were based on a 33 year old male in SF California with no accidents, tickets, or auto insurance claims for 3 years and no DUI or DWI in the past 10 years. No driver license suspensions or revocations within the last 3 years. The jeep will be used for commuting about 30 miles per day.
No auto insurance discounts were included in these quotes. Collision and Comprehensive insurance coverage deductibles were raised to $1,000 to reduce insurance premium costs.
