Yes the cl 55 and 600 hundred are the same body style. The car looks nice if you like it get it. Does it have the extended warranty?

Car looks pretty nice! The big thing I've noticed with my 03 CL500 is just that the interior plastics break easily....but you are getting something that looks very close to an 05 for a fraction of the price.

What I forgot to say on the last post is that other than the minor plastic items mentioned, the car has been great so far....but I've only had it for 3 months....

If it was covered by MB Warranty and Serviced by dealer, then it should not be a problem. Car looks clean, but see if you can negotiate the price just a little bit. Only issue is warranty. At 50,000...the MB Warranty expires. You can extend it to 100,000 miles and that probably would be the best way to go. Yes, you're paying more, but you're covered.

Good Luck!

CL600 and 500 will only have the same exact body style as the 55 if they have the optional CL2 AMG package. Otherwise they will look slightly different. Milage on this one is a bit high, the warranty is a real issue, you better check and see what you can get before you by it. Otherwise its a lot of car for the money. My guess is that it will go for closer to 47K.
