2004 CL55 purchased 2/17/2012
Hello all. I've been lurking the board for a few weeks and posted a few comments. Thought it was time to introduce myself and post a picture. I purchased this 2004 CL55 from a Mercedes dealership in St. Louis, MO. It was listed at $29,800. I paid $26,000.

It has 50,100 miles, Keyless Go, Distronic, and a 15% black tint on the glass. Clean Carfax, one owner. Picked it up on 2/17/2012 and it was in the shop on 2/27/2012 with inoperative driver's door controls. Four replaced wires later and all is good. It will need front rotors in a few thousand miles.

No worries there. I have been looking for the "right" CL for about 3 years. I fell in love with the Merecedes pillar-less coupe design when I purchased a 2004 CLK500 back in 2008. Have wanted a CL ever since. I'm 6'3" and the CLK didn't have the cabin space I needed.
I sort of lucked into an AMG as I was not looking specifically for a CL55. Glad the stars aligned for me on this one.

I stumbled into Mercedes by getting a CLK for my wife. She hated it, I loved it. Good fortune. And I got the CL because I wanted a Big Boy car too. You will love it.
And once you go AMG, you will never go back. I tried.

Took me 4 years to buy my CL55. I remember I almost bought a CL500 back in early year 2005 (2004 CL500 with 5K miles). They wanted 87K and I said I would pay 80K ... somehow the deal didn't go thru.
I finally got my 2005 CL55 in 2009.
Now I want an additional G-wagon AMG!
Yup, once you go for AMG, it's hard to adjust for "regular" MB.

Yeah but I lost 4 years of CL enjoyment
.... I had 2 SL back then to fill my "urge" ![rolf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
How's your LS430? I've always tempted to trade that one in for another MB.

Speaking of big coupes. While in the dealer the other day, I sat in a last generation CLS, because I love the look of them and they are 4 doors (other couples complaining about getting in and out of the back), and I thought is was very small. A pillar and roof close to my head (I'm only 5'10") and narrow. I obviously can't go in that direction. I'm used to an H2 and I thought the CL was little, but now, not so much.

They transferred the black one to their sister dealership in Frontennac. It was pretty clean as well.
