w216 CL65 and its rarity
TOPend--- no insecurities and no I do not get validation from parking attendants and valet..lmao....it was a stated comment on the overall look of my Escalade by comparison to an average one...as some members here claim that it is a common and not so cool vehicle...I only applied the comments that have been told to me.... just like if someone says "i love your E55...it is a badass car" yet another guy says "your car is an old E body style and is a worthless old mercedes" like some people here tend to say when they dont even own a AMG..I clearly was defending my vehicle...or should i of just said "yeah all you ******** are right..it is an ugly horrible looking SUV...thanks for truly letting me know this" ??
oh lord.....








That's what I did. I already have a 670rwhp Supra but have always lusted over the CL's ever since they came out. I finally had the chance to own the CL65 and I did. I won't drive more than 5000 miles per year in it. My supra averages 2500 miles but I drive a Infiniti QX56 as my daily. That's why the "supposed" reliability doesn't really scare me for either car; the supra or the CL.
R.K.
Oliverk- please your dad owns SL55? Ok? U have driven a ton of 65's? But no ownership...And u beat up on the reliability because u hear they are not?....ok u r the go to guy on these cars.... Yeah true u will never really use the hp... But your 500 and my 65 are not too far off on gas mileage so why not have the S65? Why not own a better version of the car u have now? U simply cannot afford it or u are not a fan of AMG...
We can keep calling each other on bull**** .... Or just call it like it is...bull****
Btw a real sportscar? God please tell me u are not referring to a 996? Because if u are... U are beyond a doubt better off in a CL65 u like to not admire as a performance car.... A 996 to me is a hopped up VW.... A 997 is a whole different car... IMO A GTR is the best of them all..... But again I could care less ... I prefer to own my car over them all.... I am a fan of comfort nowadays... I don't see a slalom course on the street when I leave to go driving...

ahahah, your 65 gets the same gas mileage as a 500? Are you drunk or just retarded?
No, I'm not a big fan of AMG. Btw, I'd go easy on telling people they can't afford $35-$40k vehicles. This ain't a hyundai forum guy.
Now, for a guy who peddled used cars, you sure don't know much about Porsches.
One, a 96 turbo is a 993, the last of the air cooled models and arguably one of the most desireable porsches produced in the past 20 years.
A 996 has nearly nothing to do with volkswagen. The older cars do, and yet the are magnificent sports cars, unlike the CL. As to the GTR, if you like driving a playstation, its great, but I like cars lighter with manual transmissions and some feel.
Do you realize that you look dumber and dumber after each post?


I agree with your observation that CLs (215 or 216) are a rare sight in SE Florida ... but an Escalade is a status symbol? Absurd, especially in this area. It is the SUV of choice for every douche and vacuous housewife in the area. I see 10+ Escalades every time I'm at the gym or grocery store and I'd be willing to bet that 9 out of every 10 are driven by $30k millionaires.
There is a direction relation between Escalades, escapades, collagen, implants, and hair extensions.

ATTENTION----- Kind of funny but I truly think u r a gay Benz owner
TOPEND62-- I know u can read right? YOU ARE A FUNNY GUY!!! I mentioned and clearly stated that those comments were told to me by the front host and valet guys....WHEN I go back to pick up my Escalade....I am in the club...WTF would I know what is happening outside by my Escalade??? Oh my oh lord.....
LMAO ....and ...look my man ...I DO NOT go there looking for girls...u obviously do.....which is cool....a lot of hott girls go to sothinks best clubs here in s Florida thinks of my Escalade or CL65 or what I drive....it's my life not theirs.........and I care less what my girlfriend thinks as well...... I pay for them not her!!
I truly love coming back and seeing what some of you guys post...
A few of you are very cool and without a doubt worthy of everything u have in life. But then there are "The other Guys". IE Oliverk or little olive *****... Olive boo boo head!!!!
You know Oliverk I hope u get bitten by a Hello Kitty!!!! U previously crack deprived and obviously molested MUTINY of a worthless dime bag selling sexual predator!!! U know I love u right?? Lol
Zlattan- I did pull a 0-60 In less then 4 seconds on a few runs..... 125 hp wet shot plus the 450hp it has after the tune And AWD makes it easy as Oliverk jerking his little buddy to his exhaust sound of his awesome G Money pimping S500!!!!! lmao
AMG-- Yes I have gotten 21 mpg cruising on the highway as again I stated before not an average of 21 mpg....that is not possible
Goodnight ladies. See u soon.
The Best of Mercedes & AMG
2 of the rarest that is....
take a look at the condition of my horrible ragged out CL65 WITH a horrendous 96k miles...omg... yeah right ....MY DAMN car is better then most 20k mile cars i see......IT'S A MERCEDES!! Not a chevy..lol

Nice collection!!! That CL is kept pretty clean considering the mileage.
I used to have a 07' Escalade also, that thing had grunt for a heavy SUV.
Some pics..

THANK YOU...YES my CL65 is in excellent condition....Some foolish people hear HIGH miles and expect a piece of crap...when u have owned as many cars i have....miles are a number......after all these are Mercedes's and not chevrolets.....100k on a BENZ is 20k on a Cadillac....proof is in the cost of the car
)))......Smart people see that...ignorant people live by a fake book of fake facts related to cars....I also KEPT my highest mile CL65 because I just felt like it was the one to keep..... it actually still smells new inside the car...no bull****...I have had people comment on it...the leather on these cars are IMO a world away from the BENTLEY GT leather...I have had 3 GT's and all had cracking leather and interior issues with low low miles ......And my 65 doesn't leak a drop of oil and for every 4000 miles I change the oil I use 1 quart ...which is damn good considering they do burn oil and I have had 63's causing me a quart of oil every 1000 miles......I want to put 200k miles on my 65 and it will be still running stock low 11's and look like new...I HAVE actually owned 4 Grand Nationals with over 200k miles and unopened motors running mid 11's ....so I KNOW THIS CL65 IS CAPABLE in a 100 years by comparison to my 1987 Buicks.....
Thanks for the compliments---

The ride was harsh, especially with 26's. I got a killer deal from Rotora since they were looking for a car to sponsor but they originally retail for about 8k.
You are correct about the 63's drinking oil, I get the "check engine oil at next refueling" message at least once every 2 months, probably due to driving too hard.
That CL is definitely a keeper!!

Since i do not have cellulite as an alternative fuel, I prefer my 106k mile G500 hybrid to an Escalade but I drive it in Manhattan as well as backwoods Maine. It gets more respect from the bipeds in the Apple than the logging trucks in the North Woods!
I think you are very funny!

And yeah at 95k miles my car as well as most of these V12's are at a fraction of their life.....
Here are the performance figures for both S65 and S63 (same magazine):

http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezfl...00f0d91db2.pdf
You will see that the new S63 stays with the S65 all the way up to 150mph...where the S63 beats it. That is because of better gearing from the 7 speed transmission...as opposed to the S65's antiquated 5 speed.
You should be the last person criticizing someone for their car purchases. Did you ever think for a second that maybe someone doesn't want someone's leftovers? I like to buy used cars too...let someone pay for the huge depreciation up front. However, that doesn't mean that someone else's priorities are "wrong". We all have different value systems. You seem to have a problem recognizing that simple fact because you only think your decisions are the right one for everybody else.
Tom
! I see you dumped your crapy CLS55 P30 with mismatched tires!
Emoving is that you man?? LMAO!!!!!!!....Yeah the auction guru who finds cars for fellow members just at the nick of time right before the car is auctioned?? Yeah its you the REAL CAR SALESMAN--- I keep Almost everything I buy and put the titles in my personal name.... Do I have a dealer license ? Yeah sure do... do I make money selling cars? Nope...wish I did...seems like a lucrative business nowadays... One I wouldn't make fun of....I know a few great car salesman...infact a very very close family friend Herb Chambers...sold his Copy company and invested the money in a dealership a long while back...SMART guy...HE IS NOW WORTH 1.5 billion dollars....he sells cars through his many many dealerships he owns....but like you and a few here have mentioned..."CAR SALESMAN".... watch out!!! Yep look in the mirror buddy you are your own worst enemy then.....
I have been to NYC many times...I would never own a car there...but seriously I swear outside of cabs and limos...I rarely see any kind of cool car in the city....I am not being sarcastic ....but honestly it is the worst place to own a car ...lousy roads and snow ...and parking is a Greek Tragedy.... But now just outside of the city then I see maybe more cool cars to be accounted for....on the island I know of many car gurus...Billy Joel being one....and of course a ton of custom car shops... So there is a lot of competition here ....but a CL65 is a rare car and the few car shows i go to monthly....not one AMG is usually there...and a 65 is like a Lambo showing up...they think u are baller and the other show attendants never know how fast a AMG really is... Funny thing is they own ISF's and Camaro SS's and Mustangs galore...they are very shocked when I tell them I paid less then $40k for my car and it is the most powerful car built .....they are in shock...questions come from all angles...I attend one show here twice a month.... About 200-300 cars show up...hugeeeee show... I love bringing my CL65 just because of the priceless stares i get in terms of what the car costs and is capable of....My GNX is worth more then my CL65 but again based on the collector stand point...and I really don't take it there that much....a car like that is expected at a car show...not a exotic CL65 I guess
TMC I was just referring to the price point of the two cars...A am a huge fan of the value of the used AMG's.....and $70k more just isn't a wise investment ....but on a lease and over time the biturbo is probably $2000-3000 more a month then a S65 buy....no such thing as a leftover ...all cars get seat time by someone ..a mechanic ...a valet guy...so I really consider all cars to be used unless u buy it and wrap it up in a bubble....

I drove my first Gwagen and Aston Martin in the UK and really appreciated both. Also drove a Renault that was a piece of sod.

No offense but Tampa, S. Florida and Brooklyn are not exactly the nexi of good taste or WOW.
Nice house. Is that Brooklyn or Tampa? Any garage?
