there is an 06 in Lakeland that i had the guy talked down to 20K on it. but I bought an 05 instead for 17.5 Check autotrader around lakeland. he owns a tint shop, said he bought the car for his wife but it was too much power for her. black on black. low mileage all options.
there also a 05 in clearwater at Lokey mercedes for 18.7

The guy in Lakeland has almost 60k miles on the car. I have not talked to him yet. Did you take a look?
I have a 04 CL55 that I bought with 3.5k miles on it for $31k. I am not finding it easy to beat that deal. I would like to get a v8 car for about $20k that I can pile the miles on without spending much on repair or getting stuck on the highway. I wanted to buy an E500 but the thought of paying to repair the Airmatic suspension or SBC brakes makes me want to puke. So far no problems with the SL55 for the 2k miles I have driven it but I am sure to be spanked in the future.

I didn't get a chance to look at it, because we couldn't come to an agreement on price, I am in Tampa and didn't want to go look at it until I knew it was a price I was willing to pay. It was after I purchased mine, that he offered it to me for 20K. He is not original owner, btw.

SL55. It was a garage queen. I spent a week babying it trying to make sure there were no issues. Other than a bunch of error codes that had to be cleared and a new trunk battery it has been problem free. The in dash Nav CD does not work but I believe the laser lens is covered in dust. Been too lazy to rip out the HU and clean the lens. It now has 5500 miles and the original tires are toast.
