I am selling my beloved 2003 CL600. With my job I travel/ move all over the US every few months; and right now I just have too many toys. The car has been my pride and joy for 3 years; and is currently in excellent condition and runs very well – but it is not a new car and shouldn’t be expected to be perfect. It is a VERY fast car, but because it’s a turbo car if you take it easy with the throttle is a very tame and docile car. It has not been abused, and the transmission still has all torque limiting functions. The ABC suspension works as it should. Highway fuel economy is around 22 MPG. I do have both keys for the car, as well as all manuals and Nav CD’s. The CCW 505a wheels are not on the car anymore due to some fit issues (the rear wheels were beveled for an H&R style wheel spacer – this caused vibration). The Texas Mile speeds and Dyno were prior to the heat exchanger/remote reservoir upgrade.

Since I have owned it, I have installed a new battery, new intercooler pump, and new driver’s side coil pack.

Please, serious inquiries only. My phone number is 320-248-7167.

Thanks,
Zach

Price lowered to $23,000 or best reasonable offer.


Also, an update - the car has rolled to 44.5k miles.

Had an ABC damper hose, PSE pump, front brakes (new rotors/pads), and transmission mount replaced - along with an oil change and a PPI.

Here are pics of the PPI:

I have the same tune without the cooling upgrades that this has. The power on it is staggering. This car should pull low/mid 4 second 0-60 with a proper launch on good pavement on standard street tires. Better with DOT legal racing tires. You need to get into some very serious cars to best that type of power.

Yes - I have a pair of MT ET Street 2's for the car that haven't been mounted yet. With them I'd expect to see mid 11's in the 1/4 instead of the low 12's it runs now.

That's an awful lot of car for the money.

Sad to see a good contributing member of the forum leave us. Someone's getting a beauty.


Zach, you going to the Mile this year? Looks like I'll be down there with the Eurocharged gang....

Probably won't get to go. I'm still "trapped" up in Ohio/Indiana. Wish I could, though! I sure hope whoever gets this car loves it as much as I do. I'm honestly starting to get "cold feet" on the sell and might just hang on to it for a while. I can honestly say I am going to miss this car something fierce...

I sure have enjoyed this site, and writing the DIYs...

I'm sure this car is in much better condition than a car that's spent its whole life on the east cost, NY is brutal on cars.

Best to buy one like this that's not a local car.

No big deal - but the car isn't in Texas...it's in Van Wert, OH which is about 8-10 hours away from *most* parts of NY...


Either way the car appears to have sold (super cheap) on eBay...but no money yet, so we'll see...

Car "sold" on eBay - but so far the winning bidder appears to be a tire kicker. So - if anyone is still interested, let me know.

BTW - car was paid off on 10/3/11 and below is pictures of the clean, free, and clear title...should make the transaction even easier now!
