2007 CL600 Black Bison
07 CL600 highly modified feeler
Trying to get an idea as to what my car might be worth. I went the opposite route and just got a Tesla (Unbelievable) and figured I would hold on tho this since its so unique and fast but I think it's time for me to pass her on to someone who will spend adequate time behind the wheel
07 Cl600
Wald black bison full body kit, exhaust and badges
Renntech stage 3 kit including upgraded intercooler (approx 700hp at the crank)
Brembo 8 piston brakes all the way around
HRE 21's Pzero Nero rubber
Custom piano wood interior
Custom Stereo
the list goes on and on.
I have owned the car for over 2 years and it currently has 32.5K miles on it.
trying to upload pics, guess I need to resize them

Your car looks great and the low mileage is a plus of course.
As many of the owners of highly modified MBZ's can tell you, finding the buyer that wants a non-stock MBZ is difficult, even though it seems to you it is worth so much more. Most of the people that want a CL600, are on the conservative side, other than those of us on this board.
I bought a Carlsson CL600, even though it was a $30K option package from Mercedes, it only brought about $5K extra to the sales price when I bought it used. So unfortunately, you cannot expect to get much return on the upgrades that are put into the car. If you bought it modified, then its the price you paid minus the 2 yr depreciation, and the past 12 months have shown a sharp drop in used CL prices, 07 and 08's have gone down 20%.
Also, as 07 was the first model year of the new style CL's, some did not have all the options that come with the mid-08's and newer, making them less desirable to the mainstream crowd.
but yours is a racer, and that means you just have to find that person, that wants a CL65, but for less money or whatever.
I would love to have a 2nd CL like that for race day, but my garage is full.
Good luck, awesome car. I need those brakes!
