Sweet!!! The car looks clean...silver looks great!

It looks like the rear wheel is darker than the front. I noticed when Marko came to MIR that his 2006 CL65's wheels were painted darker than my 2005 wheels.

Beautiful!

Did they make two different colors for the 65 wheels?

After looking at the car a few minutes ago, this must be a issue with the pic, because all 4 appear to be the same color to me in person.

Upload the photo to a photo hosting site, such as photobucket.com and then copy the image url address and place that in the post.

Ditto on the nice car comments. I have my eye on one and I might just have one of my own soon.

I have an online business (Suzuki m/c ignition parts) and I have my own web server. So pic size, how many, and number of downloads really does not matter to me.

I did reduce these from 6m pix....

Details?

Where did buy (owner vs. dealer?), mileage, price range?

Did you test drive more than one?

Breathing heavily at times foggs the camera lens. A common problem with 65 owners.

Bought it from a dealer (is was a trade in) 15k miles. $52-54k range. I had driven a cl55 AMG before and that is what I was after until this came along. Not a spot on the car, inside or out.
