I want to let you know that the car was sold this evening for $37k over MSRP! I only have the SL65 left and that car is supposed to be delivered tomorrow morning!

It seems kinda funny to me as how MB was saying that this was an exclusive automobile but we're seeing pics of 65's all over, from black SL65's to this CL65 and available slots all across the US. Doesn't asnyone else find this peculiar? Not a bad thing, just means more sportscars can fall prey to a Mercedes-Benz, and thats what we like to hear!

It also bodes poorly for resale
All CL65s running around bodes poorly for resale. If Mercedes really restricted production to 200 worldwide, this wouldn't be a problem.

...but that might be a problem for the marketing folks.

Also, by doing this MBUSA sort of screwed the 'exclusivity'. The 65's are still very exclusive since there are not many, but having 50 vehicles hit at once doesn't help.

I went to our local dealership here in the UK, they had at 148K GBP, an S65L, in silver, awesome as usual, and the engine was massive. I'm sure I don't need to brag about this car to Merc enthusiasts as ourselves.
The most funny thing was the salesman told me how his neck kept hurting after flooring that sucker on a test drive, BUT I told him all this power is useless form 0-anyspeed, its the 60-120mph sprints that this car whacks ***, to which he replied "get it on a track and then we'll see" To which I nearly crapped my pants, ok, as good as AMG chassis' are, turning up at the Nordschliefe in your S65L, man you deserve to be laughed at!
But what phenomenal cars, the 19inch gunmetal wheels are AWESOME and the brakes even more so!

I think the video from that English car show really showed how "useless" the handling was against the DB9 and the Bentley Continental. In the 1/2 mile it was embarrassing how much the CL65 killed the other cars. I think the 1/4 mile would have been a little closer, but not by much. The tug-o-war was also interesting, but it was done on wet pavement.

nothing right now :(
It truly looks amazing, and I'm sure the owner will be very happy. The price seems a little absurd, I mean $37K over MSRP, you can buy a really nice C for that, can't you? But it is a beauty, maybe if I decide to give up on the SL55, I might consider this as an option?

I agree. I might get the CL65 if I hit the lotto, but the CL55 is my dream car for when I grow up
