The MOST EXPENSIVE one I’m finding so far has less than 10,000 miles, 621 hp / 738 lb-ft and is under $80,000 and priced $10,000 above any other CL65 AMG. Now for those of you that prefer the 2015 S550 Coupe, well the cheapest are already sub-$90k. Someone here must own/have owned a CL, there’s tons under $20k. Speak up please!

Argh... those wheels... I don’t know.

Tinted tail lights, and the lowered suspension are more red flags.

CL65s came with tinted tails from the factory, and the lowering is a module you can plug into the factory Airmatic system.

I dont know what it is, but current Mercedes-Benzes seem to be depreciating even quicker than they were. My local Carmax had a 2015 SL400 for about $60,000, and that’s an overinflated Carmax price!

 Maybe it’s Jaguar syndrome, their biblical unreliability of just 15 years ago is sticking around to make their better, newer models affordable even faster.

Doesn’t look THAT dark like in that picture though. That one looked like a whole can of VHT Niteshades.

From some angles, the early ones really are that dark.

At those prices, I’ll buy two! I’ll keep one at the office and one at home and alternate for each commute.

I’m already pulling down 60hrs/week between two jobs, I’m not bumping that up to 100hrs/3 just to be made poor (again) by endlessly repairing a CL. Screw that

One of the Bartenders at my old watering hole has a 65. It’s nice. I still lust after my (ex-pat Brit) bud Bob’s Brown and Tan F150 though.

Just be patient, both the new ones and old ones aren’t finished depreciating yet.
