I can't afford
I wonder what's up with that.


On a side note, I can get an '08 CL65 for 150k (202k Window) with 800 miles, damn they're taking a beating

FWIW, the silver is sold, and both were bought new in '06.

The black remains at $89K.

The silver one was bought in late 05: Carfax:

11/12/2005 44 California
Motor Vehicle Dept.
San Diego, CA Title issued or updated
First owner reported
Registered as
personal vehicle
Loan or lien reported

07/19/2008 Dealer Inventory Vehicle offered for sale

07/23/2008 California
Motor Vehicle Dept.
San Diego, CA Title issued or updated
Loan or lien reported

If you are buying this vehicle from a private seller, check to be sure any associated lien on the vehicle has been paid off.

08/11/2008 Mercedes-Benz USA, Inc. No recalls open for repair




Either way this was a large investment gone bad IMO. I say this cause the buyer probably drove it to storage or somewhere where it never moved and hoped to dump it for some stupid amount thinking the value or demand would rise. Unfortunately these cars tanked in value shortly afterwards.

Of course this is all conjecture and the car could have had roll back done (seeing it never made it to a MBZ service center).

Guy was a millionaire++ and bought both and never drove them. Person I spoke with wasn't very clear on the "in service date," and incorrectly stated '06
