Automobile Forums  Where Car Enthusiasts Go to Discuss Cars Online

I am new to the forum.

I am new to the Mercedes-Benz.  I have been a BMW (840Ci & M3) follower for years.  I love the W215 Body style.

I am looking at purchasing a 2001 CL600 w/ 84K miles.  I really want a V12 sleeper.  I figure with a performance chip that I could possible get over 400Hp/Torgue

I am looking at Horses for the price.  A few more ponies with the CL600 = 367vs. the standard CL500 = 306.

Am I making a good choice with CL600 over the CL500 for power.  I know there is also the CL55.  No difference in visual looks.

Also, Fuel economy is almost the same at 15 city / 23 highway.

As I stated, I am a BMW owner to turn also Mercedes owner.  I do a lot of my own wrench turning.  I also have access to a BMW & Mercedes Master Techs


Is Service /Repair:  Parts & Labor similar in Price between the CL600 & CL500

Also, what is the preferable manufactured year?

Thanks,

Sir Cas

CL 600 or 500 coming soon!!
