I like the color...not sure it is worth an extra $100K that they are asking...

its in Vegas, theyll sell it to a boxer or an entertainer. You know in Vegas you can get a 3br home with a pool for $300K. $150K will buy me 95% of the vehicle in an cl63, and have enough left over to...buy yet another.....

Love the carbon, it's a must, but noticed that the phone cover is also carbon. Anyone have a part #?

Dont tell me no paddles....Yuk-ko

I'm not feeling the color of that interior. It looks like a light pink.

Nice car though. In 18 months it will be 100K.

As you might already know, I'm planning on getting some OEM Carbon-Parts from Germany, I do have some part#s that might be interesting (bold is what you're looking for):

Spiegelschale, links (mirror housing, left): A 216 810 07 76
(price unknown)

Spiegelschale, rechts (mirror housing, right): A 216 810 08 76
(price unknown)

Stoßfänger hinten (rear bumper filler, similar to Anniv. Edition): A 216 885 11 25
875,50 € + 19% Steuer (tax)

Abdeckung vorn, rechts (front spoiler cover, right): A 216 885 07 22
255,75 € + 19% Steuer (tax)

Abdeckung vorn, links (front spoiler cover, left): A 216 885 08 22
255,75 € + 19% Steuer (tax)

Handauflage Controller (cover handrest): A 216 680 22 19
368,28 € + 19% Steuer (tax)



The handrest cover might be a bit different than the one on the Anniversary Edition (the part-# I provided is from a 'regular' one, without the special '1 of 40'-badge).

Now here's the problem: None of the parts are available in the US because they don't offer this package ('AMG Exterior Performance Studio Package') over here. Although the rear bumper filler I listed is 100% identical to the one on the Anniversary Edition, the part-# doesn't show up on the US part-list.

Maybe some of you guys will be travelling to Europe or have some friends in Germany - in that case, this list should be helpful...

Talking about that car: Why does the seller mention '1 of 50'?
I thought this baby is limited to 40?! (40th Anniversary??)

Boy, if you're trying to sell a $300K-car, you shouldn't 'downgrade' it, right?

I think you're right. Only 40 I think were to be made. Is that 40 for the USA? Or 40 worldwide?

Regardless, at that price, this thing should come with a 40 year warranty!!!

Need to see this car live....

IMO, it's a caricature of a post-menopausal, aspirational hag's car.....

Suspect mkt prices reveal much re: car's appeal....as much as 599s/430 Spiders are largely aspirational cars for dentists...this car is a rather laughable car for MB/AMG....very Bentley-like....

$300k!? That dealer must be on crack. I will buy one for sure @ MSRP + options, but not the mark up. For 300k, I rather buy a Lambo or Aston.

.........I agree. Stuff like this makes me wonder what some of these car dealers think of Mercedes benz buyers behind closed doors. They must think we are a stipid bunch. Unfortunately, we sometimes reinforce the stereotype by paying above MSRP.

Agree also. This price is truly a joke. I can assure you they are laughing all the way to the bank. Even a second hand owner is going to pay way too much for this I'm afraid.
