03 CL600 with Brabus

Do you think I'm likely to have more reliability issues with this car than a stock 600?

i dont know about reliability, but it does sound good. although 60k sounds a bit high for an 03 (i could be wrong).........you'd have to find the right buyer to fork up more money for the brabus mods.

The seller will be lucky to get a buyer to pay in the $40s. I figure if there's no action on the auction, maybe he'll sell for high $30s.

Any chance you'd do a drive by and take a look at it for me? He says it's now detailed, so hopefully it looks like it should...

I'll try to meet him Monday if he's willing to take a big hit on price, but he just bought it last year and did all the mods - I guess some people don't care about spending more than $50,000 to drive a car for a year. I'd care too much

I can't afford
That car looks rough. I don't care if it's detailed or not. Go find a clean CL600. You're going to regreat that one.

i agree he may have 50 k in upgrades but the car may have issues if that is where the seller resides that is not the best hood in philly!! better to buy a blank canvas and build your own master pice..i have to wonder if the maco in the background did the body repairs he writes about..

Wait a while longer or search around and you can probably buy a CL65 for the price he is asking for ($59,000) but for sure a CL55. The car looks pretty beat up and probably have hidden problem.

He ended up selling for $51k with a new set of 20" Lowenhart wheels he paid $8,500 for.

I'll keep looking. This wasn't perfect for me...
