Part 1 of 3, I showcase my daily! A Mercedes CL55 AMG, we talk plans & why I love it! ebay.co.uk/usr/thebarnclassics @thebarnclassics on Instagram The Barn Classic Cars on Facebook
Love your enthausium for the CL. I've enjoyed a CL500 for 5 years now and agree entirely with your appraisal. I would add the super smooth steering, power delivery and ride that just cosset you so nicely. As you so rightly said it's how a car makes you feel and my CL500 hits a perfect spot for me.
Had a facelift CL500 for 12 years now, zero big problems or bills during my ownership but I do maintain it myself. Some have been owned by cheapskates and careless people due to the depreciation recently but buy a good one and they are fantastic.
Have a cl500 with full factory amg specification on a 51 plate. Absolutely adore that car and I also have a few motors! Mines lowered and on 20’s but other than that it’s still as it came with a list of £129,300 in todays money which is a lot for a 500 and not a 55 !
My 2005 CL55 has a Weistec 630 kit with lots of cooling mods and 608 rwhp. It passes most everything besides a gas station. I get 7-9 mpg around town and can get 16-20 on the highway depending on speed. With under 90k my ABC is super nice and I could not imagine a better car for the money.
I have one for over a year now and I’m still in love! It’s just soo good. It’s never let me down and I’ve done over 10,000 kms. A future classic. Buy a god one and watch it grow in value. Nothing like it. You said everything I love about it too. Terrific review.
So nice to see people apreciating C215's. I have one for 11 years now but with kompressor, and to this day - I see it and fall in love all over again. I know the day is coming when abc will fail but I cant decide which road I'll take - coils or rebuild abc.
