    My husband is thinking of buying a BMW 645 -Brand New (2004 for 93 000$)....But I prefer the Mercedes CL55 AMG -Used 2002 with 60 000 KM priced at 79 000$
    Which one is better value?

    2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL600C 21,000 km $118,800
    2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL600C 14,001 km $109,900
    2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL600C 51,000 km $103,000
    2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL500C 83 km $99,900
    2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL500C 27,000 km $87,500
    2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL500C 37,000 km $85,000
    2003 MERCEDES-BENZ CL500C 19,084 km $84,988
    2002 MERCEDES-BENZ CL55 29,000 km $89,000
    2002 MERCEDES-BENZ CL55 78,000 km $84,500
    2002 MERCEDES-BENZ CL500C 36,000 km $79,900

    Here's the dealer inventory listing from the MB Canada website........if the 2002 AMG CL55 you're looking at is "listed" at $79K it's an OK number if it's still under warranty and in good condition.....but I'd rather buy the one with 29kms listed above instead for a bit more money. The 645 will drop in value about the same as the CL55 over the next two years I think.

    As to which one is the better car to drive.....that's your decision.

    Welcome to the board, I may be biased here but I need to speak on this one. I have owned 3 new benzs in my life time and still have one of them. In my opinion they are the worst junk around. I know some will disagree, but benz does not make the cars they used to back in the 80s and earlier. They do not last, and have many issues.

    I have owned only 1 bmw in my life time and was one of the best cars. I had a 535 with almost 300,000kms before I tossed it. I would most certainly view the bmw (without the early idrive system). I thing you would be best for the 645 new(er) or demo. They are beautiful and most definietly reliably. He and you will both enjoy much more.
