Fletcher Jones Fremont currently has a CLS63 TT with 2000 mile on it for $93k. Isn't it nicer?

Are the 7-spds in the new E63s beefed up to handle the new engine? Compared to what came in the early E63s?

I'm liking that new CLS a lot more then the new E class. Been seeing a lot of the CLS's floating around lately as well.

+60,000 ....

A neighbor just bought a new CLS63TT and we went for a ride....Hopped out and went for a ride in my "old", but well cared for e55....Although the new cars are very nice, at a certain point it is hard to get significantly better / nicer....Yes the new cars have better electronic crap and the TT can be made faster....but I can't justify the additional $65K + ...

On the old CLS I didn't like the front to much but loved the rear. On the new one I can't stand the rear but love the front. The E is nicer imo as it looks better all around for me.

I feel the same way... the newer cars are not that much faster than the current gen E55 (without spending at least an extra 20k). When I was purchasing the E55, I was looking at cars that are essentially the best performance for their value. Obviously the E55 is not the best performance car out there, but to get anything better than it, you'd be spending a great deal of money which just isn't worth it.
