Lucky you, congratulations!
Thanks man!!! It's a fun addiction that I have...I'll most likely splurge for the S65. I just want to find the right one, I don't want to settle for one just because it's available. Hard to find a good one though, there's not too many for sale. Im looking at a black one with a couple hundred miles, we'll see if it goes through.

lowered, 22" 360 Forged wheels, renntech ECU, exhaust, maybe a little NOS, and a baby seat - good times!

Here's a CL65 for $160k on eBay, 7,700 miles. Seller might move on the price, ya never know.

Either way, S65 or CL65, pretty bad ***.

thanks man! I saw that one - seems like a good deal, but if I'm going to drop over $150k I want that new car smell! I'm looking for something under 2k miles. Peep this one:

250 miles, wow.

So slick. The 65s are just awesome, perfectly unpretentious.

It really blows my mind that mercedes puts such ungodly hedious cast wheels on AMG's. Never could understand that. Especially on a car that normally retails over 160k! Unbelievable.

I'm sorry but if I had the opportunity to own a Bentley I would jump on it. I vote for the Flying Spur.

One pay 12 month lease on CL65 would be my choice.

When I sold MBs in 2006, vast majority of high-end clientele went that route.

one pay is exactly that, instead of monthly payments you make one payment for the whole year. It's normally not offered for more then 24 months.

It works for some, money in the bank is money in the bank, one payment is money in their bank. After what i have been through with everything i learned you can't have enough money in the bank.

When it rains it poors!

If I can get into a 1 year lease I would def. do that, but I don't think it's going to happen. I'll know what's up on Monday with the black s65, my guys are "working the numbers".

That of course, is equivalent to .25% off your APR. Calculation goes like this: Money factor multiply by 2,400 = your APR(rate).

Just a tip!

Do you mean that the MF is .0001 or that you get a .0001 reduction off of the MF?

You get a reduction on the money factor.
