Question about CL600.

To those who are current owner or owned any cl600 in the past.
please advise.

anything to look out for on 01 cl600 sport?
any major issues (transmission, engine) wise. Most of these cars still have warranty but just want to know how much time one would spend taking to the shop to get things fixed.

Or are they pretty much bullet proof?
I don't have much knowledge about v12 engines and their lifestyle? do they like to spend a lot of time in the shop etc.
I know the bmw 750il(s) weren't all that good.

thanks!

LIL Raja

One problem with '02 CL600

The parking brake somehow failed, and pieces got caught in the rear disk brakes. Very noisy problem was fixed in 2 days (parts had to be FedEx'ed in).

Otherwise, nice car, and the pricing might be collapsing with the launch of the new CL600 (which is absolutely crazy).
