I'm about to go to Germany soon and in the back of my head, I've been thinking about making a 2000+ Mercedes CL500 my next car. I know these newer cars have a lot of electrical gadgets and stuff. Since being only 21 most dealerships don't take me serious and are very crabbish about letting me look at one and or letting take one out for a test drive to see for myself. I like the look of these things but I don't need a $50,000+ problem. And is this car really better than the 560SEL?

 

better than 560sel of course... except for the missing two rear doors.

test drive one... and floor it for 10 seconds. you will feel your adrenalin starts pumping too.

 

What are u gonna do with a CL500???... Instead of spending so much money on a 2+2 Coupe get yourself a fresh W210 E55 AMG. It gives u more interior space and speed. If I were you I would go with the E55 ///AMG! The money that u have left over you can spend on a few tune-ups like getting the W211 Style Headlights, a grille with the 3-star logo and maybe u might like to spend a few dollars on a good stereo system!

 

Well I have a sedan already a 560SEL with an after market stereo system and subwoofers for interior room, I'm single, no kids, and just want the CL500 or equivalent. Come to think of it, an E55 is alot faster but the E class style don't appeal to me. I should try one out and see, but I don't want go through the trouble of trying to get the 211 body kit put on since, there is not a Mercedes place within 100 miles of here and then the few, of I should say the one customization place here couldn't even put an after market radio in my old BMW and wouldn't have touched the Mercedes if the CD player wasn't already installed or if the subwoofer and speaker wires wasn't already ran. But I will definately check one out. You gave me a new idea though.
