Oh no
I may take a dive in the dark side again.

Well, it doesn't rain in AZ anyhow...I checked out a 2010 c63 AMG but it was cramped inside.

CL and CLS63 feel like the RS6 size driver compartment.
I have 4 door beasts...just not sure a 2 door is in the cards. But a friend of a friend is parting with his black/ black 30k mile car in perfect condition. Same guy has 2....yes 2 CL65 black series cars.
Current: Black Pearl Metallic Effect/Ebony, RNS-E, Euro + pedals, oCarbon, Hotchkiss Front & Rear Sway Bars, Koni Yellow's
But this is 50k
:-)
Thats about the price of a Prius? Right
If you are talking two doors on the dark side (i.e. the cheaper to repair side) then I vote BMW 1-Series M
RS6 #1 904959, Daytona, Silver, tons of "stuff," went through puddle, dead engine, end of #1 for me, rebuilt by local enthusiast and thriving.
RS6 #2 904568, Avus, Ebony, no stuff, stock minus RNS-E.
Too small on the 1m
I dont think I can do the CL....style or 2 door. Even with the steal of a price.
Its got to be
C5 RS6 avant project
12 CLS63
12 E63 wagon
With a slight chance of a 13 A8 4.0tt ... just because Manhiem prices in socal have gotten in the 30s.
Must fit mtn bike in the back and have a tt V8.
the A8L i turned in is still on the lot. They want 50 k CPO, 35000 miles...2013 black with black...
'18 BMW M5, '19 Porsche Boxster GTS
(prior '94 325is, '97 M3, '00 A6 4.2,'03 RS6,'08 A4 Cab,'13 A8L,'15 Q7,'16 BMW M2,
I just looked at Manheim, I see these crazy prices you speak of...Wow. That is like a high 30s three year residual - terrible.

Terrible for someone.....is a gold mine on the other side.
8 just went thru Riverside today...all of them vw financial.
Drive it for a year and sell. S8s are too strong right now....there are a ton of A8 4.0tts in socal and it keeps prices down.
I bought my 05 SL65 for $47k. 1 calendar year later, I could only get $37k for it. I've never taken that bad of a bath on a car before. AMG's are THE most depreciating cars. NEVER again. If I ever go Euro again...and I may...it will be a new S8...Those cars really chub me up...
Dave, you should get some seat time in a CTS-V wagon. No where near the quality of euro stuff, but oh the power and sound of a real pushrod V8, with some forced induction...Love my 4 door hotrod...
Dave, E63 Wagon is on my radar as well, but a '13 model as it has 4Matic. With a tune the '12 RWD would be unmanageable!
'13 facelift is nice as well.
2008 A4 2.0TQ Quartz Grey Metallic S-Line/Titanium Package
2017 A4 2.0TQ Glacier White Metallic Prestige Sport
2003 RS6 TOTALED.-----Searching for a replacement
Yeah, I hear ya tt ^^
I cant get around the cabin and windows of the ctsv wagon.
The smart move is 2013 A8 with 4.0tt and slap a tune on it. Baby S8
Supply and demand have hit a sweet spot for a daily beat around vehicle and i like the curves of the 13 A8.
CL63 looks like a Acura TL. Not for me
Hey Mark
My huge worry is the depreciation cliff the 12 E63 wagon is about to hit. There still bringing 60s where i can buy a clean 13 A8tt for high 30s. The better choice would be 14 4matic....but this is a beater for me.
I just need to build the C5 RS6 avant as my daily.
Houston we have a problem
CL63 is impressive in person. Car is mint black, black, black wood, Vossens + oem wheels and loaded.
30k miles and 165msrp for 50k. Plus I get stage 1 ecu and tcu flash
Smart money is on this deal. I pay no sales tax or plate fees
I'm well past the 2-door phase. 4-door (maybe wagon) all day long. But that CL63 is sharp. Remember it's an AMG and where is the bottom end of the market? You're a smart guy, if you can make the numbers work for a period then go for it. I cringe at the hit ttboost took though.
03 RS6 Avus/Ebony #905593 resurrected 6MT, 04 Avalanche Z71, 87 T-Bird Turbo Coupe (351W T5), 04 Aprilia RSVR Factory
I just sold my 2011 C63. Amazing car. I drove the newer biturbo, and it just didn't feel as visceral. Something about 6.2 liters of raw fury.
Most fun I've ever had in a car.
Drove a CL65AMG - honestly wasn't impressed.
The owner still has it due to an unwillingness to accept that a $185K car is now worth $45K...
