Red face 00-02 vs 03-06 Which tends to have less issues???

I'm in the market for a CL... Just wondering if anyone knows if the 00-02 models tend to have more or less issues then the 03-06???

I know the visual difference just interested in reliability.

I have a 2001 CL600. Great car, love it. Be ready to spend higher prices for repairs on any CL. Have the car Looked over at the dealer before you buy. Thay all have known problems. I had to replace the coils, motor mounts,and now the front shocks. My CL was $130K new. I paid $20 for it . Again I love it. It's my "new drug".

I'm driving a 2003 CL600 - love it.
Ditto canes85.

The newer the better. I have an 03 and it has never had a problem. 75k miles on it and runs like new.

Good luck.
