Mercedes CL55 AMG
There is a thin line for which you can see this car as your worst enemy or your most valuable ally: it depends only on the side where you are. If you are among those who from 2002 to 2006 bought a new CL55 AMG and you’ve not sell it yet, you should keep it, since selling it, you’d only cash in the money for a week end out with your family, or enough for covering only a few months of duties. If you are hungry for horses (many), but still looking for a generously proportioned coupe with great comfort, the Mercedes CL is a car to be reckoned with. Even the most honest and even more affordable 500, like the sportier 55 AMG, can become yours starting at around 10,000 € and its line, despite nearly two decades, is still fresh and pleasant. Also because of the fact that the CL has always been the most exclusive model of the “three-pointed star”, we are talking about a big and powerful coupe, that thanks to a huge 500-hp V8, unleashes 700Nm of torque to the ground, offering supercar-like performance, with the luxury and comfort of a five star hotel. A deal does not come only in the form of a hatchback, like those from the much-vaunted ’80s. The mother of today’s S Coupe is a gem that is not hard to darken ¾ of the current sports sedans on sale today.
