alx...
thanks for the range.

local MB dealer offered 50k on trade for CL63 or S63.
when ready to sign, price spread between trade-in and replacement car mysteriously increased approximately 15k.
i said bye-bye to sales guys and bought 2 yr / 24k miles extended warranty.
love my car. just didn't want to drive "naked."

i was told the next SL model will be the new body. if true, then i probably won't even try to replace this 65 until the new SL becomes available.

thanks again.

Swell -
Is that 57-59 asking with a negotiated sales price closer to 52-54 - or 57-59 sales price?
