I review my 2003 Mercedes CL600 and dish out my impressions on maintenance, ownership and depreciation. Thi is the twin turbo 12 cylinder car that has been overlooked too long!! We go for a drive and I make the case for the luxury GT cruiser to gain more prominence in the car world!! Gotta love this engine!!

My grandfather was a big CL guy. He had two that I know of, one being a 2001 CL600 and a 2010 CL550 4matic. He sold the CL600 to the guy who took care of his cars at his Vegas condo for $10 (he was based in Nashville and didn’t get to go out there as much in his later years so did it as a thank you to the guy). I inherited the CL550 from him after he passed last year. At the time it only had 43k miles and it has been an amazing car. I’ve only had it for the summer but have managed to 7k on the car and it makes long road trips a joy to drive. Great car and you don’t see too many of them on the road. Only even seen 3, a CL63 AMG, a CL600 “AMG”, and a CL550.

You are 100% correct on everything. Enjoy it brotha! I had the 55. In hindsight I wish I had gotten the 600. I just can't stand when people swap out the ABC for the coilovers. Complete disrespect to the car and it's designers and engineers. It is a major part or what makes the his car and its ride special. Too many people want to be the boss without paying the cost. -Vee, ('09 CL63)

10 - 4 on the sun-roof! Thought that was only me! The M275 engine is just magic, nothing like it. Thanks!

I bought a 2004 CL600 4 days before this video was posted. Just found this video and your channel. I cannot stress enough how much I love this car and everything you say is true and more. It is a blast to drive around in. The one I bought had the suspension replaced with coilovers (to which I am actually happy about) and it still rides and handles great. The car not only looks timeless but is very comfortable to ride in. It is a rare car as well and I have yet to see another CL600 where I am. I have seen the Cl500's and even the CL55's but the 600 is elusive even while owning one. I am currently doing a tuneup on it and as you have stated it is not hard at all to work on. The only issues I have seen is the trunks failing which most are under recall, the suspension and the coilpacks failing. Other than that not too much. However, do not expect to own/drive this car and not pay to enjoy it. You will pay the Mercedes Tax. You have found an additional subscriber. Also I buy all my parts from FCP Euro with their lifetime warranty on most all their parts (I am not endorsed by them)

Bought my 2003 CL600 almost 3 years ago. ABC suspension is flawless. When the Mercedes DEALER service department tells you nothing is amiss with any part of the car, you believe them! Best car I've ever owned. I take friends and family for rides and most agree it is the best car they've been in. Thank you for the video.

I purchased mine in the UAE as a survival vehicle for my two daughters, wife and myself. Anyone coming up fast behind you is no problem and a slight press on the accelerator and you are suddenly a kilometre in front of the speeders behind you. It blows the doors off almost all other cars on the road in the UAE, where people don't read speed signs.

I was close to purchasing a 03' CL 600 w/110K on the dial back in 2014. The owner wanted a bit more than I was willing to offer, So I walked away.

Well it’s kind of funny because I’m purchasing I just purchased a 2005 CL 636,000 miles on it very clean and it looks like the price didn’t go up since your video ‘ cause I paid about 23,000 but I agree with you and I think this is the best review I’ve seen on this car yet everything you said was very informative I subscribe and look forward to watching your videos thank you for the information

Thanks for this vid bought mine CL600 5.8 V12(no biturbo) and love it ever since. Starting the car is always the orchestra and anytime I drive it I feel really special. Its definitely best car I ever drove and I drove many brand new cars including S class 7 series etc. The design of this car is so timeless and still looks really fresh and attracts alot of attention when on nice wheels. Abslutely love the quality of the interior and probably 1 of the best steering wheels oh man and that audio is insane quality. It can be quiet while cruising but when u floor it it has great roar to it. Basicaly absolutely love this car to bits est car I ever owned!

Super video. I run a CL500. If you take the time to fix the ABC professionally the ride is better than any car you could name. Country roads are swallowed up effortlessly as if you are on a magic carpet.
