2005 Mercedes Cl65 AMG cl600 cl55 cl500 s600


Hot damn, that's one helluva deal!



The attraction is strong with this one... But, must resist! Don't have any space, and I really want that GT3!

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

LOL, a cheap AMG! What does a suspension rebuild on that cost?

Have at it Billy!

That car will not last long at that price!

It may not last long, period!

wow, major depreciation. 178K to 26k in 8 years....

I do agree.

About 1/4 of the cost of the car.

Billy? Whaaaa?

I agree with you on both of those. Such a good deal, but could easily spend half of the cost in 1 year keeping it going.

Not saying it will happen, but it very well could.

Yeah, works out to something like $52 a day in depreciation. Or $2 an hour. Or $ 0.03 a minute.

Oh man I have always wanted to drive a 65 and I always felt that the CL version I found to be the best of the lot!

I can't say that i'm thrilled by that interior though....

Computerized suspension and power trains have smoothed over the early is adventures with both FWD and AWD. I wonder how far they can take it.

Pretty far the new 911 does 0-60 in what 2.5? Even my grandmother could crack off that time to!

The expensive and annoying problem areas on the car include every part associated with the ABC suspension and the coil packs fail around 60k to 70k miles. Idler pulleys are also a known failure point and brakes are very expensive. Spend the money on a PPI and use a mechanic who is very familiar with the car and the suspension components.

Good luck. It's a hell of a car for the money but it still has the maintenance and parts cost of a $180k car. Just do your own maintenance and repairs or you could end up spending north of $5k/year.

Easy to resist --fixed roof.

Did they have a similar sl500 amg?

Yep, they had an SL65 AMG....


Though they hold their value a bit better...
