OverBudget

For a period when I was having dealer problems, I was considering getting a 2007 or 2008 CLS63 and I posted over there regarding my decision making process. Frankly, I like the looks of the CLS63 more, but it is heavier and ultimately I needed room for 5, and the backseat of the CLS63 only holds 2.

I'm still getting responses from that thread, but I am surpised how many of the CLS guys said that they considered the C63, but it was too "Boy Racer" for them...

Not sure what that means, but I guess I am one of them because my car arrives today...

Just as long as you enjoy it...In the end that is all that matters.

Congrats on ur new ride, bro, enjoy it aye, I am planning to get a cls63 l8ter but not in the short future. I am kinda of like the cls63 looking as more mature than the c, but now its too old for me lol

I often hit my head (at least my hair) when I sit in the back seat of the CLS

I spotted a CLS63 locally sold by the Lexus dealer. It is a '07 model with 19k miles (a bit on the high side) and asking price $68994. Wasn't the same model sold for around $100k (NAV, backup sensors, Ipod) when new? There are many '07 examples on Ebay selling between mid 60s and low 70s. When I punched in the trade-in value on Intellichoice, it was between the high $50s and low $60s. Can't believe in a little over a year it has depreciated that much!

I'd like to be the first owner, but when depreciation hits at $30k - $40k per year, I could use that money for something else.
