2003 CL 55 2003 SL55 2000 S500 DESIGNO, 1999 SL 500 Sport, 1997 S320
2005

Traded in my 2003 Cl55 with 45,000 miles in for a 2005 CL600.. They gave me the CL600 for $102,500.00 with $5,900 Barbus knockoff rims. Figured the 55 needed work with all the dings and bare tires etc. Took the trade since the Spy pics I've seen of the 2007 didn't float my boat.

That's a sweet deal on the 600. Is that for a new one?!!

How can Brabus "knockoffs" cost $6K?

Brand New Brilliant/Silver Ash interior/Keyless Go off the Showroom floor had 000037 miles on od. Little window sticker had the tires and 19" wheels listed @$5,900, the dealer said the wheels and tires were $3,700 (their costs). At the last minute they wanted me to switch my CL55 wheels with them and I said, "Nope". I've got the little sticker that came off the windshield to show my insurance agent and I have no idea what real Brabus wheels would cost. I had the car over at Barbus in Newport last week getting a quote on a lowering Module and the first thing the saleman said was, "you know these wheels are not the real thing." (not a question just a statement). I went into the showroom and the only difference I could see was that the Barbus wheels had a "B" on the hub cover and mine had the "Star".

Now if I can only find someone in Orange County who can do the lowering module for less than Barbus I'd be a happy camper.
