Just wanted to say hello...

Just picked up a 2003 CL500 sport with 51000 on the clock.

First MB and I love it!!! Black on Black with AMG package and 19" AMG wheels. Dealer said 19" AMG wheels are kinda rare.... Are they?

Anyway... Hope to learn alot from this board!

Welcome to the rarest model of MBZ.
The CL.
Not many of us around on here. It is very quiet on the CL Board
Enjoy your German Tank. They are so relaxing to drive and enjoy.
19`s are not that common as AMG on a older CL. Post some pictures please.

Enjoy your stay here.

Hey congrats on the purchase. I am driving an 03 CL 500 Sport as well Silver/Black and I LOVE it. You will really need to do some research and check out old threads because these guys are really good about getting all the info good/bad on these fantastic cars. I have learned so much just from going through threads. Some of the info scares me about the car but she is my first Benz and I wouldn't trade her for anything.

2004 CL600
New as well

After longing for the w215 CL for years I have finally purchased one - a 2004 CL600 with 14,600 miles on it. I am flying to Chicago next week to pick it up from the dealer and drive it back to my home in Virginia. Pray for good weather mid week next week along Erie's south shore and Pennsylvania's central mountians....

I will keep this car forever.

I do actually have a question about the bluetooth "puck" that Mercedes and Motorola collaborated on. The info I have from the seller indicates the integrated phone. I have seen a "delete handset" credit in the options section of a number of CLs I have looked at before I finally pulled the trigger. Will the puck work in a 2004 CL600 regardless? I am e-mailing the dealer this morning to see if the wiring is there to support the puck. Is this standard in the CL600 without fear that it was somehow deleted from the build? Hard to imagine how they would or could do that since it seems so integrated with the sound system.... Thanks in advance for any advice or help. Will visit often and post pics when I have them. Can't wait.
