Not sure but with mine there are 11 with my build. Designo graphite blk and wht interior black wood grain. The dealership here in Charleston never saw a CLS with this combo and looked it up.

I know in Aug/Oct there was one in Texas same build and I missed the purchase then this one came along in Tampa.

I saw one in LA at Keys MB, 07, Mystic White,Tan Int, 41Kmi, 030 pack, CPO, parktronic, no dynamic seats, $61K--perfect condition and beautiful

Has anyone seen a 07+ 63 with dynamic seats? Havent seen one yet no matter how loaded in came. Isnt mystic white a designo in 07? But $61k with 41kmi seems a bit high though...

taking into account, it has the performance package, designo color w/ interior.

Also is was in what they call a "minor accident" only paint blemmish.

what do you think the value price to purchase would be?

thanks for everyones 2 cents

CLS
Just my .02 cents but listen to the boys and continue to look for another car. Just like this dealer, you will have a more difficult time trying to sell it when you are done with it.

Well, I found my car, but it's not a cls.... (ducking for cover...) I got a certified 2007 M6 with 6200 miles in pristine shape. It's black/saddle and it's really beautiful. Gas mileage sucks. but I don't drive much... The V10 sounds glorious and the car is miles ahead of my or e63 inho. So I am out of the AMG family for a while, until a good deal on a CLK BLK comes my way! Thanks for all the advice over the years!

Hope you had test-drove the M6 before you purchased it.
I had considered the M6 also. Test-drove it a couple of times. The last time was for 2 hours and Hated that SMG transmission!
I think the CLS63 is a better car.
But you have already made the switch.
Good luck with your new car.

2007 CLS63 Designo Graphite
Sorry man, I bought the one from Texas last year.. (no joke, sorry but not really) It is the best car I have ever owned or driven. I had planned on keeping my Corvette, but after having the CLS for 6 months, twice I went to take the vette for a drive and the battery was dead both times. I really didn't enjoy driving it nearly as much as the CLS and as such I decided to sell the vette. New wheels will be here next week, so I will post some pics. FYI, but I bought it from ecarone.com in Carrolton TX. Just took a look and they have a couple cars you might be interested in. I had a real good experience buying from them and I would do business with them again. I do feel bad for you though, you just missed owning the car that's in my garage (thank god!)

I test drove several and fell in love with them. Very focused cars, very interesting, dynamically superior (in my opinion) and nothing beats the sound of that V10. It is also beautifully built and beautiful (again, it's a matter of taste). The one i ended up purchasing is an 07 blk/blrown smg with only 6K miles, CPO, for less then hey wanted for that CLS. The CLS is a beautiful car but too similar to the E63, so I am happy with my choice.

YEP thats the car I was looking at. I was working with that guy for a month. When I decided I was going to fly down to look at it for purchase, he called me back and said it just sold..Now we are talking within 10 mins...He wanted to go confirm the mileage for me...I was like WTF!!! Not due to the sale it is what it is..but I really wanted that color combo...So a month later the one have came up for sale..so we have the same cars. Kinda off topic but wheels are you thinking? I'm having a hard time seeing what I THINK I want. I'm leaning towards a 7-spoke color matched/ chrome lip HRE

I went with Vossen VVS-094 20x8.5 in front and 20x10.5 rear. Offset is perfect, I'll take some pics as soon as it quits raining long enough to wash the car

Congrats on your new family member...a great car is a great car, regardless of the badge. The M6s are wonderful cars.

Hope you'll be back to the AMG side soon...in the meantime, give that V10 a good rev inside a tunnel for me!

Enjoy her in good health

Any idea what it is worth knowing that it doesn't have a clean carfax?

2007 CLS 63 Black on Black, Black tint, 47.5 miles, --- 100k mile warranty or until October 2011, which ever comes first --- No pp though. CLEAN! - Asking $58k
