I don't know if you can get a low mileage 2003 CL with that sort of price. I looked into cars.com...most 2003 CL (500, I assume) with that sort of price ranged from 50k-100k miles. What is low miles to you?

Cheapest one at 25k miles is $29k at luxury motors. But I would not buy anything from them.

you can probably find an '03 CL500 with 50k-60k miles for 24 or 25 grand. the lower mileage ones will run you over 25.

I saw an '04 sold on ebay few weeks ago went for under $23k with around 40k miles, I thought it was a good deal.
I am looking for 03+ cl500.

did it really sell? or does the seller (dealer) bid himself? they do that sometimes..

You will find cheap ones here and there, but they might be below the standard. Prices usually reflect this.

I am not saying that you cannot find a good deal, a cheap one with no stories. I am just saying that if something is too good to be true, it usually is.

good luck

It's a shame they put those wheels on that car.

Anyway, there's a CL500 in Classifieds for sale asking low 20s. It's a 2002 but has warranty coverage til the end of 09

Anyway, the mileage isn't that low at 41,000, which is why I asked earlier what is low mileage to you.

Yeah basicly I'm looking for something under 50k hopefully with some warranty left just to be sure I am not buying somebody else's problem.
Thanks for the replys so far. I am not too familiar with MB platform so any input is appreciated.

That one at luxury is actually clean it came out of Nevada (smoker car though). I know the previous owner of that one.
