In 2003 they updated the 600 to twin-turbos and reduced the engine size a half liter. I'm sure they probably updated the command too but I'm not 100% sure.

Run far and fast from a 2001/2002 V-12.
If you buy it make sure the oil pressure sensor has been replaced and not leaking. Make sure that the oil cooler is not leaking or has been replaced.
Also check the ABC suspension and lines. If you can get an extended warranty get one.

2012 S600
I've owned a 2001, 2003 CL600 & a 2004 S600. I had no issues with any of them. I would suggest to get a 2003 or later CL600. The performance difference is HUGE! 496HP versus 363HP. The torque numbers are also off the charts. A warranty is MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
