STORY PHOTOS

I was owning this car for half a year only - from December 2003 to May 2004 after I bought it used from an American businessman who owned a Canadian enterprise that was on the very edge of bankruptcy. In order to support his business he had to sell his cool car urgently, and I was lucky enough to find him and gather the sum he demanded in a short term.

This way I became a noble owner of an elite European car Mercedes CL 600, a fashionable cool 2-door coupe equipped with all kinds of high-tech features providing the driver and passengers with maximum comfort and security and a powerful 5.8-liter 12-valve engine making 390 horsepower, which is an especially cool characteristic peculiar to this prestigeous car brand. Its body was designed with a remarkably low draw coefficient of 2.8; its electronic steering support system was enhanced with many special units like SRS, ABS, ASR traction control, ESP, ADS etc. Actually, I didn't notice the functions of most of them, but they all were listed in the impressive booklet that followed this cool car. However I used effectively its funny Parktronic function that allows safe parking at any garages and parking lots in whatever condition the driveris ;)

Although its spares and services cost a lot at official MB maintenance station in Ontario, they always managed to repair everything in shortest terms and with maximum quality.

I was completely satisfied with this wonderful high-class car, but I had to sell it in May because my family needed money for purchasing a new house roomy enough for all my numerous close relations...

  I bet a new cool powerful car like that would cost a fortune! But even a used Mercedes 600 certainly costs a lot, so if you afforded it once one day you'll buy an even cooler one, believe me ;)
