Quote: That is a great car! it is definitely a great deal. The color is not my taste. I think they have held thos one for some time now...I may be wrong.
They have had this car at most for 6-8 weeks. I was there in January and it wasn't there. The other CL65 I looked at there was in perfect condition, although a few other cars they had there were obviously orphans from the auction (S55 was big scratches on nearly every panel, 750Li with a couple of big parking lot dings, etc.)

They did have a CL600 that had a Kleeman body kit and tuning that I drove in December. That car was a light blue/teal color...it was definitely not a color I could like, even though I went to see it to try to convince myself that it wasn't too bad. Ultimately the CL was just too small for my needs.

I nearly purchased a black CL65 from them earlier this year. Not enough room in the back seat for two children, much less three, so I moved up to the S-Class. If the color of the above car is to your liking, it appears to be a pretty good deal.
This is what I'm talking about. These guys are lying in their ad. They say the car has a star mark 100K mile warranty. Unless they are a Mercedes Benz dealer then the warranty it had will not transfer to you. I am 100% positive about this. It may have been a CPO'd car but when another non Mercedes Benz dealer buys the car the extended warranty is null and void. They won't tell you that because either they don't know or they do know and are lying. Then when you go to the dealer for something you find out the hard way. Plus I'll bet the in service date of this car is sometime in 2004 so the factory warranty will be up this year. Car has no parktronic or distronic. This deal is not so good. Just letting everyone know so you don't get screwed. If or when you guys get a car I want you to buy it right and learn from my past mistakes. Always know the in service date, always get the vehicle VMI and see what services were done to the car before, and always get an inspection with a paint meter.
