New CL550

I just bought a "new" 2013 CL550. It was in the Dealer's inventory for 1 1/2 years, and had 37 miles on the odometer. I was going to buy an S550 Coupe, but I got a massive discount off the CL's $132,000 sticker price. That discount sealed the deal.

Designo Platinum Black paint, Designo black leather interior, Grand Edition package, loaded.

I can say after 2-weeks of driving (I'm at 240 miles) I think I made the right choice, and got a hell of a deal.

Of course with the S550 Coupe coming out in October of '14, the 2013 & 2014 CLs were identical. I could tell someone it's a 2014 and they'd never know without looking at the Mfg date sticker.
