Hi,
I've decided to sell my CL65. Here are two links to pictures:

I bought the car about 6 months ago. I'm the second owner. The car is Pewter Silver, fully loaded including distronic, has 19,7xx miles, and the in service date is 2/4/2006. No satellite radio module but it can be installed. I purchased 20" chrome 360 Forged wheels and Yokohama S-Drive tires about 2-3 months ago. They are in perfect condition and no curb rash. I also added a Gateway 500 I-pod integration system. I'm asking 76K. Thanks. E-mail or P-mail me for any other questions.

Who would have thought. I truly had good intentions of keeping the CL for at least 2+ years. I finally drove a Z06 and I'm hooked. I use to have an 03 Z06 and I loved it but I got sick of driving stick in heavy traffic. I live very close to where I work now so that won't be an issue and I have an Infiniti Fx 35 for family use so what the heck. I miss loud exhaust note and glue like handling plus the new leather package on the 08 Z06 is pretty darn nice. It has a full leather dash, seats, and doors. It's really pretty nice and the performance is amazing even in a straight line.

Hey, don't you want a CL65. I know you want to find a better deal. The CL is a great car I just want something more involving.

Thanks for the kind words

good luck with the sell. the z06 is indeed a splendid car

however, you might wish to revise significantly your asking price if you want any action on your cl65...

Larry, we have been talking for a while now and I feel you on dumping this car. Its a beast but for some reason it just never connected with myself and I can see it hasnt really with you also.

I wish you luck but I want you to be realistic as I was. This car is the softest car in the market based on original cost/msrp. I sold mine in January with only 10k miles and there was enough bath water to keep me clean for a year....

I had to pay to get out of mine---- I hope you are more fortunate than I am and wish you well. The Z06 will make it all the worth while.

I hear what you are saying and I appreciate the advice. I figured that I bought the car for 85K just six months ago and put new forged wheels, tires and and I-pod integration. I've put on under 4K miles and the car has warranty till 2/2010. The car is truly mint and anyone who wants a well maintained excellent condition CL65 then this is the one. I know what the auction prices are and I see what they are going for on ebay and the autotrader. Many have early in service dates with warranty almost up, many more miles, and appear to be beat on. I don't think I am being unreasonable with the price but we will see. Obviously if I can't sell it then I either keep it or drop the price.

Thanks again.

Well I wish you luck, I too had a more recent in service date (08/2006) and that does help a little.

hmmmm... I too am thinking about letting the car go for the same reason what Vic55 have said. can't seem to connected to the car... By all means this is the best gt cruiser I've ever driven to date but I guess I want something more engaging... and worst of all, my wifey prefers to drive the SUV over CL because of the elevated seating position . May be we are still too young for the luxury gt like the CL65 yet ?? Like I said, I'm still thinking about it but no good offer will be refused.

That truely is an amazing piece of machinery. Good luck with the sale, I hope the ZO6 will turn you on the same way that your CL does.

i currently own a 06 c6 with the zo6 body conversion & an 02 cl55 amg.
want to sell both and pick up a used 06 zo6 or 05 cl65. you guys are not convincing me that the 65 is the way to go, as i love my benz more than the vette-good luck with your sale

From what I've read a regular C6 is a totally different ride and feel compared to the Z06. Reviews of people who have had both cars say the Z06 is a comfortable daily driver but an absolute monster in straight line speed and handling.

I miss a tight handling car and the CL just doesn't have that. It's actually not suppose to as it's a grand turismo with amazing comfort, interior quality, and massive power. It just depends on what you want and I miss the grunt quality of a true sports car.

You will not go wrong with the Z06...I too have thought of my future with that car, just can't do it. Wifey wants kids,,,heheheh

Dont pass go, dont collect 200.00, and return AMG identification card and welcome kit You know im teasin Larry, you cannot go wrong with that beast my friend, visceral in every manner, im sure you will enjoy. Please do stay in touch though.

france2112

I almost decided to keep the car so you wouldn't get mad at me.

So far I've had a 2003 CL55, 2005 SL600, 2006 S65, and 2005 CL65. I'm kind of Mercedes-ed out right now and I feel it is time for a change. I'm definitely staying on the forum as I still consider myself a Mercedes enthusiast and I truly enjoy corresponding with all you guys. This is a great forum and all the online friendships I have made are meaningful (I just got a tear). Anyway, I'm sure I'll own a Mercedes again in the future as the AMG's are hard to stay away from. Thanks for the kind words.

maaaaan thats an impressive list of cars. Good to know you will stay around Larry.

Vic55

I agree 100%

Larry just cause you wont have a Benz doesnt mean squat and you will be in the same boat Im in now- Benz free (not bragging) but still an active member here and a mod too.

I had a W210 E55, W211 E55, and W215 CL65 ... just taking a break right now, sort of like a halftime in a football game
