is this a good price/deal?...

I found an '04 cl55 in absolutely impeccable condition, 28k miles, The only issue is it was a mnfgr buyback for cell phone and tire pressure monitor issues. MB has since fixed the issue, and re -certified it to its original warranty(not to 100k). I can pick it up for 65k. It came from california, not texas BTW.

Sounds pretty good as long as the original warranty is in tact.

You may want to run a TitleCheck/CarFax on it to see if it still shows up as a branded since this could adversely affect the resale value.

Thanks-I actually did do that and it did show up..... the dealer was very open about it, though. They did say it wouldn't affect the resale value because MB re -warrantied it (from original date)

Yeah right

Don't believe the dealer... they could say whatever they want... they just want to make the sale... but when the time comes, they would say... "well, you got a lemon car... this is our final offer... 50% of market values for non-lemon cars.... that's the best we could do as we know no one out there would buy this from you"

In short.... never buy a lemon car unless you want to drive it until it dies (shouldn't be that long for MB ).

Thanks for your input. I have finally decided against the deal. I will keep my CL for quite a while longer or until it gives me issues.
