05/06 CL65.... Whats the deal?

Hey guys,

Looking around today, and realized the 05/06 CL65's are selling for dirt cheap. $65-85k for examples with low/decent mileage.

Am I missing something here? Almost seems too good to be true.

Anyone know what the warranty details are? I would assume these would still be under the original factory warranty? Is it possible to extend? Definitely not the type of car i'd like to own out of warranty.

Owners/AMG fans please chime in...

AMG depreciation is like that. Take advantage of it, definitely a great bang for the buck!

Get a CL65 that car looks very scary in black or silver, def a Mafia car.

With a ecu and tune you are looking at the high 600hp territory.

Any major issues with these cars? Don't want something in the shop every other week.

Also, can anyone confirm the warranty? I'd assume 4yr/50k? Does mercedes offer an extended option at the end of the original?

The power potential on these things seems absurd.... TT V12...

Yes, standard warranty 4years/50K and smart money grabs the 7 year 100K extended offering. AMG engines can VERY expensive to repair. Two options to consider: the 7/100 extended M-B warranty - call Lisa at Courtesy Motors in Chico, CA for best price quote - and the 7/100 Daimler-Chrysler warranty. Reportedly the two are identical, except the D-C covers some items the M-B doesn't (gaskets & NAV) and is supposed to be $1200 less expensive. Still have a year to go on my 13K mile '05 E55's factory warranty, but I'm ready to pull the trigger for one of these.
