@@mercedesbenzs600bash absolutely. I was in contact with a fellow last year asking 26 Canadian. tried to get him to 22 but he found his buyer...and so it goes.
I watched the entire video. I'm over here yawning 😥 waiting for those six headaches to begin 😞. Because nothing you mentioned is a headache....other than the worry over the cost of a breakdown repair.
Agree wholeheartedly with Cary Coller. I have an ‘08 CL 600. Upon my 2018 purchase from Carvana, it had 57k miles. Within 2 weeks? Ignition coils failed in a major way. Over $5k to repair; thankfully it was covered under Carvana’s 60 day warranty.. Absolutely zero issues since.
VinnyBlackROCK I’m more surprised that carvana honored the warranty. Seems like one of those gimmicky car services. Also, I don’t know how coils can fail “majorly” just that it fails and you get a misfire and need to replace them.
@@ejsgarage it's part of the design to help you dislike it for tangible reasons. What I like most about German engineered failures is how subtitle they fail instead of catastrophically. The flip side is every system has a built-in failure point for profit. When high-maintenance does not come as a surprise, you can manage it to your satisfaction. 👍
@@ejsgarage isn't porsche supposed to be a relatively reliable german car? Imo wheel bearings and thermostats going bad are not that bad. They go bad on many cheap cars too.
Awesome car. Definitely a future classic. A 600 plus horse power twin turbo V12 isn’t going to get the best fuel mileage but achieving 20 mpg on the highway isn’t bad.
Beautiful car! I have an S600 V12 Twin turbo and like you said you'd be lucky to get 10mpg around town, I'm averaging 10.4 mpg 😆. I'd love to upgrade to an S65AMG at some point. This model cl looks amazing I must say!
I've owned a V12 6.0 2006 CL-600. Had a oil leak and it was 5k to fix because the oil pump is in the center of the engine. Very expensive maintenance after warranty
This car is amazing and one of its Last like the dinosaurs!! Enjoy it because there is no downside not even the costs it’s the most reliable in it’s own class... Betya🙌🏻😄
The only headache i would get from owning this car would be caused by the massive ear damage i would sustain from the noise the exhaust system would make, while constantly accelerating back and forth down my street
#3, #4, #5 and #6 are not real drawbacks. As for #1 - you can remove the front skirt. As for #2 - you can get it fixed, or even switched off. In all no real drawbacks.
I started the channel with a CL500 (C215) which was even better looking, but the interior was very dated and it wasn't THAT quick to be honest... thanks for watching!
What’s the difference in interior besides the V12 badge on the wood dash? You have a wood phone cover but the buttons are all the same. It all “dated” to me because of the steel buttons they use. Also the 2011 CL 550 is as fast as the 2010 CL 63. 510lbft torque for the 2011 CL 550 but only 465lbft for the 2010 CL63! Torque is what makes a car feel quick not horsepower! You should know this..
As a 2005 W220 S65 owner I totaly underestand your thoughts regardin any breakdown. I had to change my front rotors and pads due to rust (car dosen't move much, around 2000miles/year) and they cost $3000, then I had to change the oil in the ABC unit, $650. The larger service alone cost me $2500..... so yeah, it's a expensive car to iown, but you pay with smiles/gallon :) Btw, really nice car you've got! Just subbed.
This car wasn’t designed for pour people. Those who spent upwards to 200k on it new, did not worry about anything. If you want to save money on fuel and potential repairs, then sell it and buy yourself a Trabant. I promise you, your six headaches will go away instantly 😂
I'm looking at getting one of these soon as well. Also worried about maintenance although I plan on doing my own work. Weren't you also worried about your c63 breaking? Lol
Gotta get a warranty for these over 50k miles for sure (Cl600 here former owner had service records) 50k miles and he spent 24k on service. ABC fix, engine bracket/mount replacement, tires are 500 a piece electric failures etc. I do still love it though I'm selling at 100k miles

Quite annoying I usually turn it off. 2007 Cl600 with brabus package (except for engine sadly) sirius radio also intermittent and lumbar for back doesn't work while other pumps in the seat go on off somewhat randomly.
Look. No one buys a V12 thinking repairs are going to be the same as a Toyota Camry or a Honda Civic. Be smart. Do your research and choose wisely. Don’t be afraid of them. My SL65 has almost 90,000 miles and she is still a monster. I would never give her up and she’s a 2005. Mercedes builds great cars but if you go cheap you will regret it so buy what you can afford and make sure you have a good mechanic for routine maintenance and repairs. I also recommend shopping around for items like rotors and other wear and tear pieces and buy them when they are sale. Sooner or later you will need them and thinking ahead will save you some money.
Hi Simon ! I’ve been going crazy since I saw you had this car and I want one ,not instead of the SL but another one . How ever I could accept the CL550 or go with the CL 63AMG ,it would be my daily driver . What do you think ? The prices on ether are so good , I saw one 550 2012 for just about 23k with 28k miles which is a joke of cause the AMG is more , but really .yours looks and sounds amazing . Which one do you prefer the SL or this one ? Thanks I’d call up on you , but Australia is a bit far !!
Had an 2004 E55 and a full wallet until one shock absorber collapsed and brabus and or mercedes said they would swap all four only. 4k. Insurance covered it. Now I've found a 2006 87k cl65 for 55k australian pesos.. the AMG magnet has taken over again
usually the engines are reliable the problem is often gearbox problems and very usual suspension, more specific the air suspension wich often fails and it is really expensive

Beautiful car with beautiful colour! I am also CL65 owner and I agree with you in many ways!
It's a beautiful car in most respects, but #6 is the reason you don't see more on the road!. Not sure what you paid, but personally I'd go have gone a Lexus LC 500 coupe which has insane concept looks, incredible sound and interior quality that is also a match for RR and Bentley..and you don't have to deal with issue number 6!!!
How much did you spend on your last scheduled maintenance though? Lol The next one will cost more because it will have more miles and more wear and tear... It looks newer for an 08 but a nightmare to own even though it looks gorgeous. The first thing to go will be that air ride suspension that allows you to lift and lower that land yatch over speed bumps and driveways. Good luck!
This car cost over 200K (US) brand new ... before pick it up, either you're Mercedes technician or pick a huge tag for services and repairs .. NO Car run forever ..
@@mguytv I guess because I'm so use to it being on the middle console. I've driven trucks and mini Van's with the shifter on the steering column and it just doesn't feel right. Oh and whatever happen to your cl500?

My wallet has been complaining about me these days, and I have to apologize to it, although I know all this is your fault, man! Your video has me hooked on this baby, I am looking for my CL65. I hate you for tempting me to kill my wallet, and I am also very grateful for your video let me know this "strong and restrained" beauty, and good luck!
Did you ever fix the parking guidance issue? I have the same option on my CL and it drives me crazy. I was told it's a normal function as other vehicles on the road have a certain sensor that blocks our sensors and the system automatically sends out this warning. Thats why it's goes away once you start moving. It's definitely annoying.
The parking guidance isn’t faulty. It’s interference from other devices such as traffic light sensors. And other cars and their parking sensor like Mazda ,Toyota and newer Fords. It’s largely due to the sensors operating at 400mhz. If it comes back after 10sec’s then don’t worry. It’s stays it’s a faulty sensor on the car.
Yes, the CL probably would win a drag race but it's real strength is in its mid range and top end power . Over 100 MPH it's in a league of just a few others. It's the Autobahn king .
I am owning a CL500 (2005), the park sensors are also off! the fact that they put a button to turn them off means the guys at MB knew that there is a tenacious problem with the sensors in this car! the beam of the left side is dimmed!
Your fingers... and everything else? What, are you crossing your balls as well? The car is absolutely amazing, I was lucky enough to drive the CL600 and it is breathtaking, what a piece of engineering!!! Don’t complain about the consumption though, you knew what you were buying!
I got myself a CL600 5 years ago, still have it, it is an incredible car, power is amazing but it cost me a fortune in fixing the electronics which keep failing
That car will break if u go hard on him....just a lil bit. But if u drive nicely..no hard acceleration..no agresive driving....u gonna drive that thing for years and years...regular service and u gonna be good. But than..where is the point to drive that beast slowely?
All cars are meant to be driven, especially the CL65 these cars are not good if not driven, the suspension since it's air suspension will sit on the ground, after long periods of sitting. Drive your cars people it's like moving your body. If not over time it can deteriorate. Or least start the car this vehicle has a lot of electronics, if not started or a battery tender, oh man all the gremlins come out.
Have you not any warranty's there ?? I' trying out one here on the SL and it's in the shop now so I'll see if it works .It's expensive ,but it gives you that peace .
I know this is an old comment, but I own an S-class with ABC so I'll explain. ABC shouldn't be much of an issue if you treat it like engine oil with more give. ABC fluid needs to be changed along with filters after 20k miles. Updated ABC had less faults because it was treated as a new technology with needed updates. These have less issues than the W220s and C215s, but they still have their flaws
Why did you buy it in the first place? Everything about this car is expensive, naturally, because it's all about beauty, elegance, power... so stop complaining.
Well you have had all kind of wonderful cars and sure some quite difficult . Is there one you have liked better than and would like to keep or get again ?? Thanks , great review I have to thru all of them now to see what hides in there.... I could accept a CL550 is that cheap ?? Here in the states the size is not a problem only joy ..
Definitely better have some REAL money put away if your thinking about owning one of those cars, because it's GUARANTEED that certain things will eventually break...
Absolutely beautiful car,and the old fashioned V12 + 5speed auto is just a bonus. I have driven some brand new 2019 mercedes,and the gearbox just feels too "modern". I only own a dirt cheap C klasse tho.it's a 1.8 W202 from 94,but it feels sooo different from anything else I could get from even double the money,I just love MB all the way
Did you get used to the „size headache“ ? Or still problematic ? How would compare cl sl and c63? Could maybe do a video on that or little explanation ?
Size still my main concern / my fav car concerning looks in combination with my fav engine (the 550) but I could get it in basically any other Mercedes of the era

These have less issues than the W220s and C215s, but they still have their flaws
Why did you buy it in the first place? Everything about this car is expensive, naturally, because it's all about beauty, elegance, power... so stop complaining.
Did you read the pinned comment?
what color is this
Well you have had all kind of wonderful cars and sure some quite difficult . Is there one you have liked better than and would like to keep or get again ?? Thanks , great review I have to thru all of them now to see what hides in there.... I could accept a CL550 is that cheap ?? Here in the states the size is not a problem only joy ..
I think I have finally got my ideal 3-car garage!
The Mguy - sounds like you should be driving or reviewing BMW's 🙃
Used to be Maserati Guy - when I had a Maserati 😂
@@mguytv how can anyone be maserati guy? Ugliest design by faaar. I would rather buy golf for 100k than maserati
S Dj thats not the issue with those cars, weak v6s in the ghibli and quattropotre.. also shit interior is very cheap .
Did you by any chance consider "MERCErati Guy"
Not a bad idea but wanted to get away from individual brands!
Difficult to park??? for you maybe!! hahaha.. what will you say if you drive an S-CLASS then?? or a Benz Bus ??
Definitely better have some REAL money put away if your thinking about owning one of those cars, because it's GUARANTEED that certain things will eventually break...
Absolutely beautiful car,and the old fashioned V12 + 5speed auto is just a bonus.
I have driven some brand new 2019 mercedes,and the gearbox just feels too "modern".
I only own a dirt cheap C klasse tho.it's a 1.8 W202 from 94,but it feels sooo different from anything else I could get from even double the money,I just love MB all the way
Did you get used to the „size headache“ ? Or still problematic ?
How would compare cl sl and c63?
Could maybe do a video on that or little explanation ?
Not really - I was struggling to find things to complain about haha!
Size still my main concern / my fav car concerning looks in combination with my fav engine (the 550) but I could get it in basically any other Mercedes of the era
This car is huge
