What is the concensus of the cl65amg

I am selling my 55wagon to a customer tomorrow. I am thinking my next driver will be a cl65 amg, I have found.
Any one have any experience with them.

A very nice car with resale value worse than a boat or motorhome.

The resale is why I can afford it.

Go for it. Goes like stink with mods and if someone else has taken the hit, it's a lot easier to swallow. I'm considering a S65 to replace the E for the same reason. I cannot believe a 200K car is under 100K 12-18 months later, but they're out there.

I almost got one.....they are so bloody fast compard to my e55k anyway. all cl's with that body style had a funky smell that is the only drawback. I found one a few months ago with 5500 miles for about 95 2005 i think....my new cl600 is awesome but prob not 50k better

if you can find one with warranty and extended warranty.. take it.

but probably better with a CL600 and modding that one.

I personally like the SL65 the best.. the CL is just too long and the interior is not as nice.
