Hey guys... I'm looking for a new car- not many criteria... looking up to 100k... black/silver or any "interesting" color scheme that could be rare... i have a plethera of summer/sports cars and a pickup so im fine in both of those areas... dont know to go SUV or sedan or something like a used CL55?? help is needed. thanks guys!
The CL55s can be had for about 100k if they're a few years old, If i were in your situation I'd be looking at the E55 AMG, or a Cayenne turbo depending on what your needs for the vehicle are. The E55s are under 100, and the Cayenne Turbo I believe is right around there.
If you are looking for an SUV, why not check out the new Range Rover Sport? Dunno whether it's already there but I believe its already launched in the UK. Slightly lower roofline, bigger wheels and supercharged to boot. Revised frontal appearance and overall gives a racier appearance and they come in funky colours too. Not sure about US prices though.
I used to have a 4.6is now i just have a big lexus suv that i dont really use much... I have a cl600 but it is more of a car i dont like to drive much... other than that i have a few ferrari's and the wife has a ml55... i guess i'd be looking for a 4 door, the e55 is nice- but i like to mod them with better wheels, engine chips, etc. Do any of you have any experience with the E55 or this new range rover- they both look very nice.
I found this pic yesterday on Fchat, Im not sure where I found it or who the car belongs to but i think he'd be the one you want to talk to about modding an E55. Image Unavailable, Please Login
get your self an IS300. There is a ton of mod's you can do to that car. From Neon and Glow to nitrous oxide and airflow.
My friend has a 911 & E55. He says the 55 is scary fast. He hasn't done any mods yet. I got him the car for about $76k. It was a brass hat.
Hey sh4m, First please fill in your profile. Second in your original post you talk about about possibly buying a CL 55 but later you say you have a CL 600 that you don't drive. They are all but identical cars so I am confused. What is the reasoning?
they are defnately not identical... first of all- the cl55 has the amg package- breaks, exhaust, etc. They look a bit different too if you take a good look- different cars. and the cl600 is also a 2001 and i just got bored of it.
sh4m I know the Benz line well. My point was most people would not have a CL 600 and then run out and buy a CL 55 without offing the CL 600. How about some pictures of your cars ? According to your posts you have one hell of a collection!
He does have a great collection: 550 575 355 Testarossa 360 spider 360 Zonda Various MBs a pick-up truck. The Zonda was a gift from a friend. I'd love to see pics of this great collection as well.
Find a good used BMW e39 M5. Great as a daily driver, executive saloon and/or family car and a blast to drive anywhere including track events.
i dont have a testa anymore... and i just sold the lexus lx :-/ I'll take some pics this week sometime for ya... when does the new m5 come out? and how much will they be? Any people have the ability to compare an e55 and an m5?? Thanks
Yea- most people think that they are the same care but the 12 of the cl600 never got my appeal as much as the 8 on the cl55... plus- my wife sometimes drives it in the summertime when she doesnt feel like an suv - so i cant really "off" it.
Forget all that Benz crap!!! With the Ferraris that you own, I wouldn't bother with any other make. Tell me...got some photos of your collection?
So Sh4m (aka sultan of Brunei), with soooo many vehicles at your disposal i am surprised you are not on the Robb Report for all time prime time wanker of the year. It must be hard being so fabulously wealthy that you have get on a chat line to ask what toy you should next drive!! one would think with all the dealerships at your disposal that you would have BMW or Benz just giving you a car because of your status. Is all your panderings the result of being an abused child, do tell, we would love to know what catatonic and demonic thoughts you possess.
What's wrong with having a love for cars? Hell, my house isn't anything spectacular, I just happen to enjoy cars a bit more. is that a crime? All of you here seem to enjoy them as well.
