My local dealer offered me to take a 2008 CL65 out for a test drive. It's not a car that would be on the top of the list to replace Eleanor but it was worth a spin and they have no other used AMGs in stock at the minute.
Only 19,000 miles on it and they are willing to throw in 2 years tier 1 warranty. Tempting offer but I reckon I would struggle to sell it on in. I only plan to keep it 3-6 month.
Called by another garage on my way home and they have a few nice cars in stock...M3, M5, 640d, c63 white coupe, etc ....but nothing that had me seriously interested. BUT THEN....I spotted a 2013 c63 saloon out in the car park...its white with black alloys, has the PP and carbon spoiler. The car had only arrived the day before and wasn't listed on their site yet. It only has 5,600 miles on it so it's like new...
Using a simple man maths calculation that I must have that car in my life it looks like I am going to pull the trigger on it on Monday.
I have a 2,800 mile European road trip planned for July I think I found the perfect car to take me across the Alps. The CL65 would probably be the better car for eating up the miles but it didn't excite me at all. It had the opposite effect...
