New CL600 owner, happy to be here!
Picked up this beauty last month, found it in Cali and had it shipped to me down in Miami. '03, Black/Black, AMG pack, no other options. Super clean inside and out, obviously previous owners cared for it well, has pretty extensive repair records when I checked at Benz. Almost everything works.
Already had to tear into her and replace a heater hose that burst the first week, just as I got home from the track. Aside from the car being huge and requiring me to lay across the engine to work down the back to get at it, wasn't that bad.
Car went 12.5 @ 115 with no practice or real effort, defiantly has all it's stock power and should be in the high 11's on a decent tire. I plan to get the car tuned next month and play with some other power mods.
I am a Master Tech at an automotive shop by day so I plan to keep up with the car myself, the repairs and maintenance aren't that bad if you aren't getting railed by the dealer labor rates. Lots of great info here, you guys here have been super informative already and I think I will enjoy my stay. I'll do my best to help out with issues, I usually spend a lot of my forum time troubleshooting cars for people it seems.

It's actually not that low, it was sitting for over a week and it sagged a little. I'm gonna lower it via SDS when I get my module but I haven't got that far yet. I have to do some front suspension work before I lower and align it.
