I put my order in for one a couple of months back. Unfortunately, I'm on a waiting list due to a few of the options I chose, and the particular set-up. The car is promised for delivery to me in April 2008. I'm waiting patiently, and it sucks to wait so long. I hate black vehicles though. I'm paying just a tad more for mine than the E-bay ad you posted, due to options, colors, and the simple fact that I'm not accepting one of their "Run of the mill" CL-65's. I put a post up, a while ago, back when I put the order in through the Mercedes Dealer.

Wait a year get it for $100k. For $200k might as well spend some more and get an F430. The depreciation on those big AMG's is steep. I'd lease it if thats possible.

For me, it's overpriced.
But, if you can afford to use money as toilet paper, then why not.

All of the big-body MB's are cool, and you have to see the AMG interiors side-by-side with a normal S-Class MB to appreciate the quality of materials and the nice execution. 6.3's and 65's are fast too, to a degree that is overkill for a road car, and almost obscene in a big 4-5 passenger luxury car. I'd just feel a little silly spending $200K for a car that, to the casual observer looks just like the $95K one your cheap neighbor bought.

I would never dream of spending anywhere near that kind of money on a depreciating asset, that and I have 7 kids and no hope of ever having that kind of money to throw around, but I work at a dealership and you would be astounded at all the OLD men who buy the AMG cars...it's not all sports guys and young millionaires.

I pity the poor people who would have to accept a "run of the mill" CL65. The shame, the shame.

Ordered it in silver, with charcoal, and black interior. Got the heated steering wheel, as well as a host of other little useless options. Some of them however, are not as "In demand" and Get put on waiting lists.

There aren't any "options" for this car. You can only order it in the packages below.

• 40TH Anniversary Edition
• Designo Graphite Edition
• Designo Mystic White Edition
• Designo Espresso Edition

Which one did you order?
