01 CL600 OR 03 CL55
Greetings everyone, I am fairly new to the forum and getting ready to pull the trigger on getting a CL. However I am having a difficult time deciding which is the better choice. I have found a 01 CL600 with only 38k miles for 12k in near showroom condition. And I also found an 03 CL55 with 90k miles for 15k. Should i jump on the CL600 with low miles or the CL55? Please inform, I want to make the best choice and everyone here is so knowledgeable. Thanks in advance.

Speedriven CL600 V12TT
Oh dear lord you do not want an 01 CL600. it has the m137 v12, which has no turbos so mediocre tuning potential, issues with oil leakage, only 367hp, and is, in my opinion, the worst v12 mercedes has ever offered. If you'd get a 600, I'd make sure it's 03 or newer, for the M275 biturbo v12. I'd HIGHLY recommend the 03 CL55 with the supercharged M113 over the 01 CL600.
