Just purchased a CL 600........

I'm new to the forum. Two weeks ago, I purchased a 2004 CL600 sport with 30k miles for $57,000. I think $57k was fair considering it has every option including the AMG sport package.

I personally don't give a rats *** about the new CL coming out in a few months. I don't see many CLs on the road anyway. It's not like buying a 2 or 3 year old Corvette just before a new model is being released.

I have a friend with a 2003 CL600 and I fell in love with it. He did the ECU upgrade and his car is almost as quick as a new Z06.

Congrats on your CL600. I was looking for CL600's for the past couple weeks too but couldnt seem to find any good deals!

Enjoy your V12 TT!

Haha, you just bought yourself one of the most powerful engines in the world.

NASA has a fleet of Benz V12's for research on the new space shuttle.

Congrats with your insanely powerful coupe!

Derrick.......

check Ebay motors if you're looking for a good deal on a CL600. There's a dealer in Georgia with a black 2004 CL600 with 7400 miles for $69,000. I noticed the dealer was asking $74,500 about two weeks ago. maybe you can get it for $66,000-$68,000. This is a great deal in my opinion for a CL600 with 7400 miles.

I almost bought this one, but the one I purchased for $57,000 seemed like a better deal at the time since the other car was $74,500. But for high $60s,I think I would have taken the car with 7400 miles.

I'd be happy to post a few pics in the coming days. I'm also going have my ECU and TCU sent to Renntech for the stage 1 upgrade. I can't think of a better way to spend $6,400.
