CL 55
ya I hear ya, I did ask why there wasnt much interest, and thats what got me that response but thank you for the compliment. I believe its the best CL55 available and worth every penny of $22k. there is no car out there for the price that compares

I didn't trash anyone I have the same car BTW (2003 CL55) and the response was not in any way negative to the OP who was wondering why his car did not sell "yet". Enjoy your "EURO" Merc's buddy

A few unfortunate facts:
Even the best, newest lowest mile CL 's are very tough to sell. Ask me how i know. It's a low volume, low demand car. Compound that with the fact that your car is now NINE years old. And is approaching 100k miles. The CL is a unique, acquired taste-- a fabulous car, but perceived by most as a limited use coupe. Further perceived as a car that is expensive to run and repair ( that's not real inaccurate, either). Combine these with your worst problem: there is very little, if any, financing available for a 9 year old nearly 100000 mile car. Over 80% of cars in America have a lien. $20k for 48 months is about $500 a month. And that doesn't include repair costs. And oh yeah, 20k is STILL about 5+k less than you want. Great looking car, you just gotta decide how much you love it...

Did you sell the car?
It took me a while but I did end up selling my 71k miles 2005 S600 Sport for decent price even after local dealers were telling me $13k....I think it takes finding just ONE good buyer who can appreciate it.
While I'm not sure a buyer will go for $20k, I do think it's worth more than some of the guys are telling you in the low teens.
Good luck.

i agree w/ tusabes.
although CL55's a great car, i suggest having enough $ to buy it cash, plus another $5k for back-up...not worth it buying it w/o a decent safety net. keep in mind, an abc related issues alone can run $3k+ at dealer, imo.

ANNOUNCEMENT! voicing your opinion on how much money it will cost the future buyer to fix or how un reliable these cars are is great when someone post a thread asking about potential problems, but posting these in MY FOR SALE THREAD is not the place for this!
I'd be willing to bet my car is the most sorted out and problem free CL55 for sale.
Please do not respond to my for sale thread unless you are intersted in the car or have something nice to say. Thank you.
