imo that was a steal
very rare these cars are...regardless of demand or wholesale pricing......demand would be higher if more people knew of them..... the most undervalued supercar built in the last 20 years....

You again!! People know of them but the demand for a large coupe is limited. The reason so few were built was not to limit supply but to meet demand. The same is true for the CL 55's and I personally can attest to the resale on them. Even people who know what they are are not willing to spend more than what the market is dictating.

lol large?
it the same size roughly as a CTS-V coupe....gets same gas mileage and the 65 is better built being 5 years older ....not to mention the styling of the CL65 is nicer then a CTS...IMO....
And the CTS is twice the price.....
the demand is so high on the CTS-V coupe...no dealers are discounting....
Funny...so when I am crusing around in my 65 and someone comes up to me in the CTS....and assumes he has the **** car ..... after I whip his butt and look good doing it..... he will then quickly google the 65 and say "damn I wish I knew about that car" it is a badass ride.... and I sould of gotten that car.....lol

BTW, the CL65 is a full 8" longer and weighs 400lbs more than the CTS-V coupe.

a 60 mph roll? wtf
but who races from a 60 mph roll? maybe a 15 mph roll....,,,
$6k? that is 3 x more the money you would put into a CL65 to get the CL65 in the high 10's-low 11's......
besides the CL65 is half the price of a new CTS-V and it looks way better....and much much rarer...

BTW, the CTS-V puts down power more efficiently than the CL65 (thanks to its standard LSD...not found on the CL65). As an example, when my CL65 was stock the best 1/4 mile time I could get was a 12.47 on stock tires. My stock CTS-V ran a 12.35 because it was much easier to launch. So your arguments are just based on blind fanaticism than actual experience/facts.

$2k to get this thing in the 10's? aint gonna happen. i have a total of $12k in mine and hopefully will run 10.7@128 next outing. i have also been called out by a highly modded ctsv makin 700rwhp. he declined the offer of a 60-160 highway run for $1,000

a below average cl65 with that kind of mileage will be a 33k car
a below average cl65 with typical 60k miles is not even a 30k car now

you have to realize that i am not quoting you "asked" prices, but actual 30-day actionable prices. what you think the pricing is is more in line with 180 day pricing

Alex,
With all do respect, dealers can t get cars worth a crap anymore at the auctions. They are all turds. Leasing has dried up and pretty much ceased to exist recently. Dealers would love a low mileage car like this. The Manheim MMR numbers are crap. They can't even keep up with the market right now. You buy cars where you can get them right now and you are not gonna see these or steel these type of low mileage rare cars. These are not even at Manhim. Someone already said it, Manheim is full off lemon law, unibody damaged, painted crap anymore. Oh,,,and those cars are selling high due to no other cars being available.

Another reason is top gear gave the cl65 a horrible review. It sounds crazy but people are actually checking the tv review before buying. Strange world where Clarkson can torpedo a great car because it was tested on a wet road.
