About to make a purchase..

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking on the site for a while doing some research, familiarizing myself with the car/community. I just placed a deposit on a CLS55. Its silver over black with pretty much every option including the 030 package. Its got 17k miles and I've gotten the price down to 63k. Im getting a decent value for my trade in so I'm pretty set on purchasing this car. From my research I think 63k is reasonable, but I thought I'd get some feedback from you guys as I'm sure you know better.

Thanks for the help!

I would say that's a pretty good price you have negotiated there. Last year we took one in on trade with 12k miles. It was also fully loaded and we gave him 64k for it. Congrats

My 55 with 030 MSRP was $107K. I paid $92K new. It has 15K miles now and hurts to hear what you are paying for a similar one.

It's a beast and enjoy it. It is everything what people say it is plus a real head turner.

Enjoy.

I'm looking to but holding out for $60K. Trade in is low 50's right now so really no need to pay much more imho. Good luck with the purchase!

Good price, but I would have waited it out for 60K. Quite a few of the 55's are going for a little less. Congrats on your purchase, sure you will love it.

Ohh lord..

I stumbled into Motorwerks (Houston) today.. I met Sunil and he gave me a crash course in how I can dump a few paychecks into this car.

Looks like Sunil will be dipping into my woman's engagement ring fund.. sorry honey.

Anyway, car delivery was delayed a bit.. should have it tomm afternoon. Then the mayhem will begin. I'll keep you guys posted.. Have to admit.. I am getting a little excited
