2009 e63 or 2005 cl65
I am looking to get my fast car finally. I am currently looking at a 2009 e63 with 61k miles and a 2005 cl65 with 50k miles. Pretty hard to decide since I love both of them. Which one would be more reliable. I want to beat up on it here and there and be able to daily drive it. I diffinitely don't want a garage queen. You guys have the experience so plz advise

I would go with the 2009 E63 for the most reliable choice. The 2005 CL65 is a beast in its own league but can eat you alive with repair costs. Check Edmunds.com, as they have a 2005 CPO CL65 in their long-term fleet and do regular reports.

You'd probably get more responses in the AMG forum(s).
