Trading C63 coupe for 2011 CL 550

Hope I'm doing the right thing. Trading 2012 C63 coupe for a 2011 CL550 with sport option and premium package 2. The hard ride on the C63 and it is a very loud car period just got to me. Looking to chatting with fellow (happy) owner after tomorrow.

WHAT? He didn't save the car per our agreement - he waited till I was 98 miles into my drive to call me - when the car was sold the night before. This dealership and salesmen are the reason that used car salesmen are looked at as vomit.

It's your word...you didn't leave a deposit or anything, he frankly could have sold it while you were on the phone with him. I would have also. Money talks in this great country.

Defend him all you want! We agreed and no deposit was asked for from me . I just continue to post my reviews on the scum sucking pig dealership. I post on every web page I can. Makes me feel good

CL550 too quiet. Looking for a throatier exhaust system.
Want C63 Growl on my CL550 when accelerating but not when cruising the highway or coasting in town.Does C63 growl (droning noise?) continue at highway speed? Tough to have conv. or listen to talk radio?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Difficult to select a muffler w/o knowing how it will sound on the car - potential expensive mistake.
Thanks eh.

Interesting thread right now for me, I was thinking about changing my CL 500 for a 63, if its a hard ride and noisy, then its a no go and pleased that I looked in

I think I will go for a 2012/3 500 again, there is only a fraction of a second in speed, but with out the noise and expense

Infiniti M35x
apologies for the thread jack, but in a way this is a relevant question. my infiniti has over 100k miles on it, definitely time to upgrade.

Ive had my eye on the CL since i first saw it back in 07. my cousins friend got one and i remember thinking it was one of the best looking vehicles ive ever seen, but of course, way out of my price range. now almost 7 years later, it is still one of my absolute favorite cars

ive been made aware that the CL has been replaced by the upcoming S-Class Coupe. my question is...with the arrival of this car coming, can i expect the prices of, say an 11 CL550 to go down much by may of 2014? by much i mean somewhere in the 55k range?

Unless you're talking about a CL63, that is a BONEHEADED move!
