Not a lotta Mercedes CL’s out there so this relatively cheap one caught my attention. The coupe version of the S-class is well appointed with AWD, heated steering wheel, night vision – all the necessary stuff for a luxury cruiser.
It’s a five owner east coast car. It only has the 382hp V-8, though, but it’s $10,000 cheaper than this 2013 in Georgia – a nicer, more powerful car that started at $40k months ago and has inexplicably dropped to $36,998 and still not sold. Find the 2010 CL550 here in Frederick, Maryland. 
Quick Hit – Fastest (Rare) Wagon Ever? – 2018 Mercedes E63 S for $92k
CarMax had a Mercedes E63 wagon for sale last month for $70,000 or so that came and went so fast I couldn’t write about it. This 2018 E63 S is a bit more pricey at $91,998 and fortunately (for me) it’s lingered for a week or so. This wagon is spectacular on every level. Twin turbo 4.0 liter V-8 pumps out 603hp, nine speed automatic, good for a 3 second 0-60 mph time and a 180mph top speed. All wheel drive. Distronic auto cruise control. Automated parking. I could go on and on.
Only a couple of hundred make it to the US. Here’s the gushing Car and Driver review. Or the equally exceptional Jalopnik review. Everybody loves this car. It’s a single owner car, still under manufacturer warranty, so not sure I’d spring for MaxCare. It sold for maybe $130-140,000 last year and is now available for $91,998 here in Los Angeles. 
Quick Hit – 2008 Jeep Wrangler X Driven 10 Miles PER WEEK!
I’ve driven a Jeep off road (tons of fun) and on the highway (lotta noise) and not really for me. But for a brand that has survived being owned by American Motors, Chrysler, Daimlier, Fiat, and maybe Renault next, and a World War, it must have something going for it. Was surprised to find this 11 year old, lovely yellow, 2008 Jeep Wrangler X unicorn sporting less than 6,000 miles on the CarMax website today. That’s 10 miles per week of driving!! But here’s the downside; per this Car and Driver review from 2008, it looks like this car is actually listing at CarMax for the same price as when it was new!
It’s a manual transmission, six cylinder legit Jeep. With a bad ass subwoofer. Surprised this little box weighs in at 4,200 pounds. But it’s a real Jeep. And with these miles, you could buy the MaxCare warranty for up to 150,000 miles. Think about it – you could drive five more years, almost 30,000 miles a year, worry free with a bumper-to-bumper warranty. That would be a rough 30,000 miles of highway driving annually! Find it here in Los Angeles.
