I bid on the CL 65
I am likely going to buy in the next few days...Why are they being discounted so? I have my eye on an 2005 black w/6600 miles 102k? So far I have not gotten anyone to come lower than 102 but I like this one

The CL is by far the slowest selling MB car. It stays just ahead of the G-wagen in sales.

I'd say this is a low probability event.

Jesus. I know I'm just another whinging foreigner. But here you'd only be able to get a CL500 for $US100,000 - there are no 65's for sale, but new they cost $US337,000 or so. Still see a few around though!

That means the wholesale must be in the low 90's!
That seems a bit extreme - a very careful review of this car's history might be prudent.
I'd hate to take a 45+% haircut in just 1 year!

Yeah I am shocked, and excited, I may have to change my nik FLYCL65. Car would still have 40 months of warranty depending on when it was first sold. I think I would rather have the BITURBO engine than the new s 550 body. Cars are same price. The S550 I want prices out @103k...What would you do?

In this case speed wins, to quote Deep Purple in Highway Star, "I love it, I need it".
Plus in 12 months when I was tired of the CL, I could trade it for the S550 and get money back.

Amazing we think ALIKE...That is exactly what I am contemplating..I think once several models are avail in the new style plus the S being out 16 months, the prices will dropski and the CL likely will hold value better considering the monster depreciation has already happened...

Just looking at you're signature, I've never seen a E55 in the color. Do you have any pics?
