Questions about buying this 2003 cl55 AMG

Hi everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this! I am new to the Mercedes world but have been wanting a cl55 or cl65 AMG for a few years now. I have found this 2003 cl 55 AMG with 78000 miles on it. The car fax shows no accidents and the valve bodies have been replaced in 2005 and the air pump was replaced a few years later. Other than normal maintenance those are the only major repairs shown. The car is in beautiful condition but was wondering what common issues with these cars I should be expecting to arise in the near future. One other question is I am torn between the cl55 and the cl65 and was wondering what everyone's opinion is on which car is better and what years I should look at and avoid. Thanks in advance for any help and I'm looking forward to my new to me AMG!!!!

Hey Hikingslo,

Welcome aboard I am sure once you secure one of those in the garage it will be like living life at best.
You likely wont get much response here in the CLK forum because they are a much different car. A bit larger and probably supercharged.

Re post this in the CL forums and you will get grinning fast. All the forums have some knowledgeable folks who love to write about these cars.

Cheers, Gator
