Are you sure that picture is of a CL55? Looks like an SL55 by the headlights, grill and mirrors. Anyway, you need to be sure you get a genuine warranty and a Mercedes warranty would be the best. I am selling my 2003 CL55 with 11,000 miles in mint condition if you are interested. Here is my recent post for your review. I am willing to come down to $64,000:
2003 CL55 AMG with 11,500 miles. Brilliant Silver w/Charcoal Nappa leather interior, Certified Mercedes Factory Warranty through May 2010 or 100K miles, Mercedes Factory Maintenance Service through May, 2007. All options made in 2003, including distronic cruise control, parktronic, keyless go, electronic trunk closer, tire pressure monitor, voice commands and integrated Bluetooth phone system. Car is pure stock, has a clear bra and is in brand new condition. No accidents, scratches, dings or wheel rash. Meticulous owner, non-smoker, no pets and hand washed only. If you are serious, call me and I can send pictures and Mercedes warranty information. I have all original paperwork, brochures, all manuals, original window sticker, Mercedes car cover, two sets of AMG carpets and 2 remote keys and keyless entry cards. I am in Southern California. Original sticker $125,260. Lowered my price to $68,000 or best offer

Looks very nice, but I am on the other side of the country.

As for it being an SL they have the wrong picture up, here is another link with the car info:

Being on the East Coast is not an obstacle. Cars can be shipped in an enclosed carrier. Be aware that if you buy one from a dealer that isn't a Mercedes dealer, you will not get a Certified Pre-Owned car. My car was purchased from a Mercedes dealer and I paid over $4000 for an extended Mercedes warranty through 2010. The car you are looking at will probably have a Mercedes warranty through 2008, assuming it went into service sometime in 2004 as the original purchase date. Additionally, any used car from the East Coast usually will have more wear and tear from the winters and the salt/slush on the roads. Just something to think about. If you would like some photos of my car, copy of the window sticker and warranty info, I would be more than happy to send it to you. Gary

If it is a wreck, I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

New cars are very complex and hard to make right once they were wrecked. It is a hit or miss.
