I am selling my twin turbo silver on black..CL600 with 12k miles for $49k....to buy a CL65 that my buddy is having problems paying for.....nobody has called about my CL600... the warranty is until 2010 .. Benz warranty and the car is like new with every available option.. these cars are amazing and I cant understand why a lot of people overlook them.... now about the CL65 car it has 22k miles now ... but it is a rare Horizon Blue (changes color in the light) with a tan interior... the car is mint .... the original owner special ordered the car....every available option....he owes about $86k on it but will sell it to me for $77k.... I think with this combo there arent that many around ... this could be the only one... around?? I was just wondering... any input would be nice......

They will more than likely be listed as "chalcedonblau" (Chalcedon Blue), Horizon Blue is more of the marketing name here in the states. I believe the paint code is 5347.

Yes, it is rare on a CL65 ... I've only come across one listed for sale, and it may very well be the one you are looking at. Add tan interior instead of charcoal, rarer still. Horizon Blue was more prevalent for the SL's, S's, and CL's in the early 2000's, by the time time the CL65 came out in 2005 very few were made.

The car sounds beautiful. Here is the general rule on rarity.......

The dealer will tell you it is rare if you buying, and jack the price. If you are trading the same car in, he will tell you that it was an unloved combination and give you low book on trade!


Good luck...the car sounds great!
