New 06 CL65 owner. Hello to all~

Hello all, I just became a new owner of 2006 CL65 w/ 7000mi. The car is in absolutely mint condition without a single scratch or blemish. Took me about 3 hours to inspect the car inside and out. Then drove the car back from Nor. Cal to So. Cal. It was one of the most memorable 400 mi. drive I've ever had in my life. The car is getting fully detailed today so the pics will be followed shortly. As an owner of 600+ HP viper, I wasn't expecting such force but I was wrong. It does feel like it pulls stronger than the viper on a freeway. I had a few chances to pull from 70 to 140 and this thing just accelerates like no other cars I've ever driven... simply amazing and I love it!!!!! I think this car is going to be a keeper. The car is Alabaster white w/ Java interior and only missing options are Partronic and Distronic. Paid $94000

Congratulations on a great deal!

65s are the top of the line for AMG, so enjoy the car and if you need any help with regards to service or tuning I will be glad to assist.

Hi,
Congratulations. I saw that car advertised and almost bought it but believe it or not I really wanted a car fully optioned with parktronic and distronic. I just bought a fully loaded CPO 05 Pewter/Charcoal CL65 with 16K miles. It should arrive tomorrow from Northern California. I can't wait!!. I'll also post pictures when it arrives. Congratulations again to you. White/Java ROCKS!!

What great news for us as your first Post. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the saving on the depreciation by the previous owner--You got a $200K+ car for about half of that.

Engine shots.... 56K beware

I love being an unbadged CL65. On the way to work today I gave a little lesson to new M5. Confused/disturbed look on his face was priceless
