Used Mercedes Benz CL550

The Mercedes Benz CL550 is one scary car. It is scary not because of its looks, but because of what it is capable of. Well, okay, also with its looks. It looks like a car that can kick any other car’s chrome-plated behind on the open road. The body of the CL550 coupe is well rounded – literally. A continuous curve flows from the “A” pillar with a slight bow upwards. It then slants downward toward the trunk line. Looking at the car, you will think that the engineers at Mercedes Benz finally did something that has to do with aerodynamics, in an Audi sort of way. Luxury is the middle name of Mercedes Benz. Well, not really, but you get the point. Boarding the CL550 makes you want to take your shoes off because it is like you just stepped inside a Louis Vuitton designer purse on wheels. The upholstery is covered in exquisite leather material. The seats move automatically with the flick of a chrome-plated switch. The central console is most noticeable, with expensive wood paneling and chrome-plated accents. This finish can be customized as well. The Cockpit Management and Data System (COMAND) controller makes driving and controlling virtually everything that happens inside the car far easier than any other control system. The wheel is of particular interest as well. You will never want to take your hands off it when you start driving. In fact, you might just be tempted to take it with you when you leave because it is really hard to let go of that round-velvet-rubber-leather-metal thing that makes the car do magic on the road. Every used Mercedes CL550 car comes with a 5.5-liter V8 making 382 horsepower and 392 pound feet of torque. This means that for every hundred thousand pounds you shell out, you get sheer power and performance at your command. And weighing in at more than 4000 pounds, the car has really got some powerful business going on under the hood to move it up to 120 miles per hour on flat, open road. What the CL550 really means to convey is that class and sophistication can always be mixed with brute strength and sports, and vice versa. This concept is best exemplified by this particular model. Its power, race-worthy build and mechanics, as well as luxurious, superstar-worthy features make this car one of those that is definitely going to stand out – and step on the competition.
