Wow, last week I happened to see two CL65's (most likely 2005-06 due to the exhaust) in front of me on the road, and including mine.
Someone calculate the odds of that happening.. with only about 100 left..

The one to get would be a low low miles 2006 CL65..
I'd have it shrink wrapped and hidden. It would have to be the second one since I need to drive the one I have now on weekends.

Ok...if you want to keep up the "Captain" comments...that is your prerogative. But I might have to start calling you "Wannabe".

You could have just asked for some verification instead of a passion play about whether to believe the information or not...and an assessment that you were sitting on the fence about it...

Ha, great response.

Also, from what I can see "Tom" was trying to be helpful. There no reason to argue but maybe I'm missing something so don't shoot the messenger.

Wow Tom....How about I check with you prior to posting. Don't want to offend you and get too passionate. It's all about you I guess. You can't control ALL. You need to chill. You really don't have to comment on everything your mind can't wrap itself around. It's fully ok to just read and accept. Not that big of a deal man.

not a wise financial choice. those are very rare and dealers want unrealistic money for them.. yet they will depreciate just like the 05s.

best bang for the buck is an 05 with 45-60k miles for around 35k retail.

Yes, true in the context for someone looking for one now for a good price.

I was thinking in the context of one that would be a classic someday found in pristine condition with low miles in a Garage or someone Trailer Queen collection years from now.
Similar to having the First one or the Last one ever made.. with hardly any miles. Kinda like what pristine corvettes, hemi's, etc go for at BJ auctions or like that show Chasing Classic Cars..
