Have you driven a V-12 lately? Well now you can when you buy this gorgeous, rare, exotic and head turner of a Mercedes CL600.
Think a V-12 guzzles gas? Not at all. Vehicle runs as a V-6 until you ask it for the V-12 power (read Car & Driver Comments Below).
Options? Simply way too many too list. Keep in mind this was the "Flagship" model for Mercedes - Top of the Line. If I accept your "offsite" offer, I will offset a portion of the saving by helping any out-of-state buyer with vehicle shipping costs - I save money, you save money.

The car has Active Body Control (ABC) so it can be lowered and raised (3 settings) with a push of a dashboard button. You can also look on YouTube for the video of Mercedes Master Techs raising the car to go over curbs. The ABC lowers the car as your driving speed increases so that the car stays close and hugs the road beneath it.

This car gets looks and attention daily on a daily and frequent basis. As a matter of fact, people often approach me while driving or at a light and offer to buy it many times.So if you dont mind the attention and looks while driving it - this car is for you! The Vehicle is from FL, so no rust on the body at all. Clean inside and out. Women owned and driven. Clean title in hand. Bose Stereo. Suede Headliner. Clean/Clear Title. No accidents. See front bumper "ding" in picture provided. You will need to replace at least one tire on the free set of rims (wrong size). The free rims were not on the car, as depicted in the picture, they were only placed next to the car for the picture. I will include an unpainted CL600 Trunk spoiler - purchased here on eBay ($120), for free. I will also include a full set of Lowering Links - purchased here on eBay ($100) for free.

Feel free to come see, feel and drive it if you like. Also, instead of asking a woman a ton of technical/mechanic questions, I would encourage any and all serious buyers to take the vehicle to the Mercedes Dealership for a 50 Point Inspection before purchasing. The inspections are approximately $175-$200 but will give you piece of mind since buying used cars is, inherently, an "AS IS SALE." So, its wise to actually spend the extra money and protect your investment accordingly.

Car & Driver Comments:

The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class features marvelous technology in an amazing package of leather, walnut and sleek sheetmetal. You could argue all day about the perfect car, but for those who want a luxurious yet athletic coupe, the CL-Class is as close to perfect as you're likely to come.  You could argue this is the best car in the world. It is, after all, the highest offering from one of the great marques in car building today. And it has everything you could ask for. Quality and craftsmanship? Yup. Performance? Check. Price and exclusivity? Plenty. Comfort and convenience? Oh, boy. How about leading-edge technology and sheer tonnage of gizmos? The CL600 is there.

The other key distinction in this car, as the model designation suggests, is its marvelous V-12. An all-new design, this engine is predictably smooth and torquey but also lighter and more fuel-efficient than M-B's previous V-12. It shuts down the left bank of cylinders under light load and does so in a transparent, fuss-free manner. Rated output has actually slipped some in the new engine, but the downsizing of the S-Class platform (on which the CL coupes are based) more than makes up for the loss of peak thrust. A first-generation CL600 we tested (April '99) used 389 hp to punt its 4960 lb to 60 mph in 6.2 sec. Pretty impressive. But our '01 test car did the same leap in just 5.3 sec, even though its peak power is downrated to 362. The trick? Curb weight of the new coupe has plummeted to a (comparatively) svelte 4312 lb. Packing nearly 400 lb-ft of torque doesn't hurt either.

Motortrend Comments:

We're not going to wade into all the high-tech content packed on this car, but the sheer bulk of the owner's manual should tell you something: It's actually two hardbound books, one of 381 pages and another of 240! A bit of technical trickery that does deserve special mention is Mercedes' Active Body Control (ABC). This is a true active suspension (the only one in production) that uses electrohydraulic rams in the damper units to accommodate suspension travel while directly managing body motion. The remarkable reduction of roll, dive, and squat helps make the CL feel poised, responsive, and smaller than it is. And even though standing-start bravado is hardly what this car is all about, you have to deliver there too if you want to be the best. And the CL600 does deliver.

These Cars Are Increasingly Rare, Especially In This Condition, So Those Who Desire Them - Buy Them.

So If You Like It - Buy It Now - Or Make Me A Reasonable Offer Outside Of eBay. I Save & U Save.

I Get Calls Everyday Locally To Buy The Car But Will Not Make A Decision Until Later This Week.


*** GOOD LUCK BIDDING - HAPPY EASTER - GOD BLESS ***

Geely chairman is now the single biggest investor in Daimler

Fri, Feb 23 2018

Li Shufu, the chairman and main owner of Chinese carmaker Geely, has built a stake of 9.69 percent in Daimler AG, the German carmaker said in a regulatory filing on Friday. The stake, worth nearly $9 billion at the current valuation for Daimler shares, makes Li the biggest single shareholder in the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and vans headquartered in the German city of Stuttgart. A Daimler spokesman called the stake purchase a private investment by Li. "We are delighted, with Li Shufu, to have won over another long-term investor who is convinced of Daimler's innovative prowess, strategy and future potential," the spokesman said in response to a request for comment. "Daimler knows and respects Li Shufu as a Chinese entrepreneur of particular competence and forward thinking." Li's stake purchase makes him the top shareholder in Daimler ahead of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which owned 6.8 percent as of Sept. 30, according to Thomson Reuters data. Earlier this month, the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the Chinese industry giant was seeking to become Daimler's biggest shareholder, likely exceeding the 6.8-percent stake of the Kuwait Investment Authority. The paper said Daimler had reportedly turned down Geely's $4.5 billion offer for a 5-percent stake via a discounted share placement, saying that Geely could buy shares in the open market. Institutional investors currently own 70.7 percent of Daimler, and the company already has strong ties to Chinese automakers BAIC and BYD. Bild am Sonntag said the move was intended as a strategic alliance against Apple, Google and Amazon on autonomous and connected cars. And Reuters reported that Daimler wants to have bespoke "robo taxis" on the road quicker than Google's Waymo, and views Geely as a strong partner for that. Geely conversely is interested in Daimler's electric car battery technology, and sources quoted by the German paper say there are plans to establish joint electric car manufacturing in Wuhan, China, to meet China's smog-reducing quotas. Geely is developing the Lynk & Co. brand of electric and hybrid cars. Geely owns Volvo, which has enjoyed a renaissance under the arrangement, as well as the maker of London's black cabs. In December, it bought a stake in AB Volvo, the maker of Volvo trucks.

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in.  But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below.  Best Subcompact Luxury SUV   |   Best Compact Luxury SUV   |   Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.     Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
