Don't know why but just love the CL
The shape , the presence and the difference to what I normally drive (Porsche)
But the choice is
CL65 due to the rarity and sheer luxury of the interior
Face lift CL63 with low miles
Both full MB history and both low number of owners
Prices
£39k v £53.5k
CL65 cheaper

I've been here before but struggle to find an objective opinion.
Thx

Hi,

I don't know that much about CL's but I have recently bought an older W215 CL500. I would suggest driving both, as they will have fairly different characters. The V8 will be more sporting and the V12 smoother and more effortless.

Are you aware that the CL63 went from a N/A 6.2 V8 to a 5.5 Bi Turbo V8 after the facelift? I personally dislike the looks of the facelift and would probably go for a late pre-facelift 6.2 V8.

What is the difference in the interior you mention? I assumed they were largely the same.

The CL65 has a wonderful quilted leather interior, looks great.

If the CL65 is cheaper being an older car I would go for that, it's a fantastic looking/sounding machine, it is truly massive though so driving it quickly in this country is virtually impossible (not exactly suited to a spirited b road blast!) unless you want to take a big risk with your license.

If you want it more for the road presence/sound/exclusivity factor then go for it.
