2005 CL600
DEAL OF THE CENTURY CL600

Have a 2001 CL500 that failed on me many ways. Strong engine, no problems there, but electronics and other BS just took its toll on me. The straw that broke the Camel's back was when my Hydraulic Suspension lost fluid somewhere and I'm in the weeds. I like the car, so I went to buy another one, and the gates of heaven opened up. A Silver 2005 CL600 V12 Twin Turbo, with 59,000 miles, for $11,999. I'm in St. Louis, Mo. I'm a Gear Head from my youth, so I know the different ways of building freakish horse power. But never, ever, thought about stuffing a 5.5 V12 into a car with twin turbo chargers on it. Talk about over kill. Talk about an excellent price. Immediately I begin to think about repair cost if a turbo goes down or something. But my research has found these horse power giants to be quite reliable under the hood. Dealing with everyone freaking over the Carona Virus, I said to myself that I can wait on putting a deposit down. No one is thinking about buying a car. But the salesman said he was receiving calls from California and Colorado from interested buyers. I left that day without putting a deposit on it. And later thought I better, and returned quick to play it safe with a $100 deposit. I could not believe it was still available. It had all ready been on the lot for two weeks. I'm going to put some new wheels on it, and a Renn Tech Stage 1 kit which will push it to 640hp. Just can't believe my Good Luck. I found another CL four years younger than my other CL500, and with a 110, 000 miles less than my old car which was pushing past 175,000 miles. With a V12 Twin Turbo Charged Engine as a bonus!!! A guess it was no brainer ?
