Either thats a rocking deal or somethings fishy because it doesnt give you a carfax report to actually look at.

OC kid

Yeah, and I never knew they came out with a special "CL55k" model ...legit or not why the hell are you posting it on the 500/600 forum?

Go throw that Bullshii on the AMG forum...they'll tear it up.


HLG600- Did you have a point to go along with your post? Without a statement or question it's tough for the members to get a feel for what your angle is. Oooh... I get it genious, your point is that all of our rides are freeking worthless.

Either way, you're on the wrong forum with this one...You do know there is a CL55 forum right??? that was CL55...there also is a CLK55 and "vehicles for sale" forum you can pimp this on too.

HLG600

Hey @sshole, in case you were wondering, and since you are a NOOB, I won't be too hard on you. Let me break it down for you.

1. I saw a good deal on a CL55 and wish to share it with the forum, that is my point
2. CL55K implies the Kompressor, so it would not be mistaken with the MY2001-2002 CL55 sporting the naturally aspirated 5.4 Litre AMG V8
3. Why not the CL55/CL65 forum? Well, this is very very simple. The people in that forum ALREADY HAVE THE CAR DUMB@SS - maybe someone on this forum wishes to upgrade to a CL55, and low and behold, I found one for a great price and wished to share.
4. All of your rides are worthless?? You clearly are an idiot for putting words in my mouth. I have nothing against the CL500, only respect for the elegant design and V8 motor.

Are you happy now?

CLFREAK

Not surprised. CLs are dropping like rocks. This is where the market is now and it's only going to get worse! Too bad, it's such a beautiful car.

OC kid

Aaah ha hah ha

Words work great don't they? It helps us understand the point of a thread.

I'm the "@sshole" for asking for an explanation? Name calling...that's fantastic...you truly are a MB World Jedi HLG600, and an example for us all.

HLG600

Actually, I never even saw Star Wars and the only reason I ever referred to you as an @sshole was in response to the unnecessary aggressiveness of your post. I wasn't exactly trying to "pimp" anything anywhere with this link. The other members, judging from the price given and the link can "figure out" it is a car for sale. You know, you could have just asked something along the lines of why are you posting this here? But no, for my "bull****" as you put it...

Also, what was up with saying I am trying to make any CL500 guys look bad? Are you honestly trying to tell me that the original post was an insult??? Example for you all, nah, the only person I am responsible for is myself. So now you have a calm attitude; why didn't you respond like that before? You insulted first, and recieved an answer, and NOW you are depicting a slight increase in maturity. Take it easy man, this is just a forum, something to kill time on, and trust me, I'm not out to insult anyone's car, whether it's a Honda or a Mercedes CL. How you viewed this thread an insult still makes no sense to me.

HLG600

In the direction gas prices are heading, there is going to be a significant drop in price for all of these luxury high performance automobiles. In the market now, prices for 2003 S/CL600's are also coming down. Just something I've noticed. Phenonemal cars, I just feel bad for the owners who are selling and have to take such a huge price hit.

Wehrmacht_benz

what kills me is i put major money into my 500 i could have waited and got a 55...but then again my 500 is pretty damn fast now too...i may be at 2001 cl55 status...anyway oc kid hl600 was just trying to point out a good deal he had the thumbs up on there and everything..and hl600 i guess people are getting touchy now that our cars are dropping in value...yehah

HLG600

Considering the money you spent upgrading you CL, it would be better to hold onto it and enjoy. I can understand being touchy about price hits, for the value on the SL and the S I have is also rapidly decreasing, to the point at which it is best to hold the cars and enjoy them to their fullest.

OC Kid, please understand, my post was not to taunt you. In fact, if I posted in the CL55 forum it might irritate the people who already own the vehicle and are suffering those rough depreciation hits. My sole purpose in sharing something I came across was to provide anyone looking to upgrade with a good deal on a flawless example.

red00lght

Man, I sure hope this forum doesn't go the same direction the S-class forum is going.........everybody needs to chill out!

OK...all relative smilies used!

I know prices will decline when the new body style is released, but the price on this car isn't to bad it has alot of miles for such car if you look at an 03 with less miles the price will be significantly higher.

HLG600

Despite the car having 65K miles, the engine looks brand new, as does the car. Most likely a well maintained example.

mjr24

To be honest, most people who buy the CL aren't worried about price depreciation. It's probably not the car to buy if you are worried about that. It's a given on all cars that cost more than 50-60k.

55's from 03-05 can easily be had for $55k and under right now with higher mileage. There aren't alot of people who want to pay $48k for a car though that has 65k miles on it.

CLFREAK

Most people who aren't worried about price depreciation don't even waste their time looking at used CLs in the first place; they've already offed their old CL, gotten the new S-class, or are waiting to trade in and on the waiting list for the new bodystyle. This car is unfortunately now getting in the category of being a first-timer for those who want the bang but don't have the buck. That's at least the consensus based on everyone in the know.
