Last week I found this beautiful white-over-tan 2014 Mercedes CL550 with only 23,000 miles on it selling for $42,998. Here’s the link to that car. Seems that only a few hundred CL550’s were imported annually, making this a unicorn. And out of nowhere CarMax now has two more CL550’s, a bit older, more mileage, but far cheaper. The first one below is to whet your appetite – the second is a far better car and deal.
The first is a 2011 model with 58,000 miles. All the same features as the more expensive one, less adaptive cruise control. The 2011 model ran with a 4.6 liter twin turbo V-8 rated at 382 hp, a good 47 hp less than the 2014 model. Tradeoffs for $8,000?
I’m always fascinated when CarMax sells high end European cars that are almost a dozen years old and offers MaxCare warranties until the car is almost 17 years old. MaxCare is available for 60 months and 125,000 miles on this one. Find it here in Centennial, Nevada.

The 2013 CL550 above has the same 4.6 liter 429 hp motor as the 2014 from last week, but is only $37,998. It also has only 46,000 miles. And I’m a sucker for turbine-style wheels. Adds a look of elegance, or performance, I really don’t know, but I dig them.
By now the interiors all look alike. Same one as in my 2010 Mercedes S600. And the seats won’t try to murder me like the Cadillac CT6 did. You can find this three-owner 2013 model here in Buena Park, California.
