CLS55 plus a few Ducati's

06 CLS55 14K 1 owner $55K. OK deal or not

Car is excellent, no signs of damage. Clean carfax. I owner from new. Drove it for 2 hours and all was great. Seller is original dealer that serviced car from new. CPO ( yeah I know not worth much) but still 2 years of warranty. Perfect inside and outside.
Advice please???
Thanks guys!

If the car is clean, it sounds like a fair deal to me.

Crazy high. High 40K range without even having to look around very much. Hold out until the first of the year when more pics of the next gen CLS start showing up. The prices will be staggering.

For a CPO w/14K miles?? Autotrader has three cars listed nationwide which are CPOs. Their prices are $67K, $60K, and $54K.

A nationwide search for CPO cars at MBUSA.com with 20K miles or less (mileage can only be specified in 10K increments, so can't do 15K) yielded seven results:
$59.9K, $57.8K, $62.98K, $66.99K, $60.99K, $65,9K, $59.88K

It certainly doesn't seem to be "way high" for CPOs. And in fact, modifying the search to all *non*-CPO cars nationwide with 15K miles or less on Autotrader yielded 9 results. One had unlisted price; the five remaining non-CPO (already listed those above) cars were priced at:
$68,075, $65,500, $63,999, $62,995, $55,900.

So it is actually a good price for a non-CPO car, let alone a CPO. An extra year of warranty on this car aftermarket will cost you close to $1700 or so, have to factor that in.

CPO is actually very essential when owning a car like that. There are so many costly components that can break in these cars, which without warranty, will cost you a fortune. CPO is a definite plus.
