Drove all three 550,55,63 and I have chosen

Okay, After driving all three:

CLS 550 with AMG styling package
CLS 55 030 Package + P2
CLS 63 + P2

I have to say that the 63 was the overall favorite. The engine just sounds amazing to me while the 55 just has a weaker sound. Both cars are sick fast and I wasn't too crazy about the 030 handeling cause the tail kept getting away from me. It seemed like it would be a lot more fun on the track but on the regular road it would just be risky.

So anyway, I know you guys like the 55 more than th 63 but to each his own.
Now I just have to work out a deal with the dealer. I know some dealers in the country are giving 7K discounts. The car they had today was perfect but it had distronic which I don't really care for and DO NOT want to pay an extra $3500 for.

What is the best price that you guys have gotten on the 63 with P2 package?

Oh and one more thing, I was actually pretty impressed with the 550, it has lots of pickup but you could EASILY justify paying an extra $20K for the 63.

Mark Matais at Santa Monica MB is a great guy to deal with as well as Vadim, see what Mark has available he is the Internet Manager. The 63 is awesome and I agree if you find an 030 available you should get it. Brakes are outstanding

Preowned 63 w/030 package. I would make an offer on this car and save some money.

Yeah, the only caveat being that those guys have a somewhat spotty reputation.

There are some on the national preowned inventory search but they do not have 030 package. I think is going to be a tough one to find new or preowned.

Ok, I know it's a 55 but look at the options....Renntech stage 5 and plus it has the 030 option!

I bought my CLS55 from them and at the time they asked 125 for this exact car.

I've been watching it come down. It's going to make someone very happy!
