Good deal? Input from cl600 owners appreciated!
Hey Folks, I'm seriously interested in an 01 CL600. This one has 61,000 miles on it, and starmark warrantied for another 6 months. The fellow will take 27,000 for it, what do you think? It's black w/ cashmere interior. How much can I expect to spend on maintenance/repairs when the car is out of warranty? Will 3k a year budgeted cover it?

I'd budget $10,000 per year for maintenance and upkeep if it's a daily driver. I've spent over $10,000 on mine in the last 9 months. ABC suspension pump, I payed once and the dealership replaced the other two pumps, ABC hoses, intercooler pump, oil changes, and both banks of ignition coils and ignition control module.
These are very expensive to maintain. Do not buy one without an extended warranty. I didn't listen and I payed the price.
