Avoid at all cost.

Avoid at all cost.. believe me I owned one that I cherished dearly but constant headaches with the hydraulic system..Extremely expensive to fix.. I sold mine for $500 cash.. still parked at the dealer.. cause no one wants to go to that maintenance nightmare.. beautiful car though..you are being warned..go for an airmatic system when buying a Benz..

The CL 55 AMG is the best car I have ever owned

The 2003 Mercedes Benz CL 55 AMG is without a doubt the finest car I have ever driven. The fact that I own one is just the icing on top of the cake. I have driven some of the finest cars ever built including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Audi, Rolls Royce, Bentley, and of course, Mercedes Benz. In addition to this CL 55 AMG, I also have a CLK 550 cabriolet. In my mind the CL 55 AMG is the finest car I have ever driven. It has the right combination of luxury and sportiness that I find lacking in every other car in this spectrum. If I want to drive it hard, through some twisting turns, it responds beautifully. If I want to go fast, in a straight line, it handles that with ease. And if I choose to go down the freeway relaxing at 80 mph, it does that with equal aplomb. Overall, the car is simply everything I could want in a car, without the pain of spending the original sticker price of $124,000.

unbelievable car

I purchased a CL55 AMG in October 2016. It only has 69,000 miles looks and drives like no other car. The car is solid and rides as smooth as anything I have driven. The only problem so far is the check engine light comes on but is related to a gas sensor, it goes off when I fill the tank up so no big deal. This car is a a rocket and looks great, comments have been exceptional. Truly a fun car to drive and i love the design. I plan on keeping this one for a long time.

UNBELIEVABLE MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive had this car for 3 years now, it hasnt had any issues and runs like a dream! the speed of this car (especially considering the size) is astounding! the v12 is smooth as glass on the highway but press that gas pedal and you fly like a rocket! the features are great and more advanced still than most cars on the road today even. I have still yet to find fault with it!

Super Car!

Amazing car has most advanced luxury features for its time. Drives great and is the top line vehicle from Mercedes Benz, what would you expect from a $100k car!
