2004 CL55 w/ Brabus and Designo upgrades
Finally putting the car up for sale. Going to upgrade, hopefully to a CL65. Unfortunately, the huge Brabus wheels won't fit into the CL65 so they are going with the car. At 305mm they are the widest tires on any CL, and they fit even as the car is lowered 1.5 inches via links.
Half the postings here get flamed with snarky comments about the price being too high, or that I need to 'price it in the teens to move it' but save your comments as the price is what it is. The designo cashmere CL is unique among CLs so I realize I may have to wait to sell, and I love the car anyway so even if I drop the price over the coming months, I will never make it a price leader.
I made a cars.com listing, available here (hopefully the link works):
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...Y_URL&stkTyp=U
which states:
Selling Points/Upgrades: The 2004 CL55 AMG includes the standard 2004 CL upgrades such as DVD-ROM based Navigation and upgraded nav inteface. It also includes all AMG upgrades as well as the following MB factory upgrades: designo Alcantara roof liner, push-button start, parking sensors, over $10,000 in Designo Edition upgrades incl. rare Designo-Cashmere exterior color. Includes the following aftermarket upgrades: rear tint, resonator delete, iPhone 3G/3GS Bluetooth connectivity/phonebook upgrade, 20" Brabus Monoblock VI wheels originally valued at $9,000 (9.0 inch front, 10.5 inch rear, 245/35 Pirelli PZero Nero front, 305/25 Pirelli PZero Nero rear). Importantly, I have replaced ALL tire pressure sensors with NEW ones that should have ~4 year battery life remaining.
Condition: 83K miles. Great condition. Sensors as well as everything else on the car works perfectly and it has been maintained at Von Housen MB of Sacramento. Pirellis are only a month or two old. Car had $128,000 sticker when new. I will discount the car $2000 if you do not want the Brabus wheels and PZero tires. Finally, the price you see here is firm, but check back as I may drop it over time.
Price: $28,900

$26900 new price because I would now like to sell the Brabus wheels and almost new Pirellis separately for $3500. Check the wheel section of the classifieds or make me an offer on the combo if you want the car and the Brabus rims. Good luck all.

Hey!
I think I see you often driving around in Davis =D
I generally see you on bridge ramp downtown towards south davis, and I always see you make a left to go on the freeway to Sacramento.
The car is beautiful.

$27500 is the new price because I am now including the incredible 3 piece Brabus wheels on the car, AND the new tire sensor pressure monitors calibrated with the wheels. I noticed some of the most common postings are people trying to get bigger tires/wheels to fit. This car is all set up with the widest rear tires that will FIT on a 215 CL, period. If you can get anything wider than a 305 on there, it will not fit under the fender. See signature for details.

Thanks for the notes guys, look for the car around Davis! Yes I am realizing what a rare care this is with the luxury upgrades/color combo. Just a matter of time I think. Today I got an offer on the phone for $25000, but I want to keep waiting for that perfect buyer who sees eye to eye with me on the value. Even if I eventually sell it for under 25K, at least I will get to drive it for a few more months in the meantime!

It has keyless go, and the ONE option it is missing is distronic, so , it is what it is. Davis is near San Francisco/Sacramento - perhaps I should have clarified. Thanks again for the complements, you guys are all making it really hard to sell, I wish someone would just offer me the full price so the pain will stop!
