Exclamation New car added to the stable :D

Hey there fellas I just picked up a 2008 Cl600 Its blk / tan 33k miles and has every single option available from the factory. I think I got it for a great price 64k, but there are some very minor bugs. For ex. it didn't come with the owners manual and only came with one key fob. Also, the v12 badge is missing on the drivers side and the windshield washer sprayers do not work. Luckily the car is still under warranty for 9 more months and I definitely will be purchasing extended warranty. So that's a brief summary of the car. This is also my first Mercedes too. I don't know if I will be modding this car but if I do end up doing something I would do one of the well known tunes like RennTech etc. Tell me what you guys think of it!!

Why is the badge missing? Was it in a accident? Great looking car, love the black with tan interior! This is the time of year to buy luxury cars, prices are at the lowest between Nov-Jan. You will love this car, what a monster!!! We have put tunes on them and they get a lot faster. Hard to believe Mercedes has these cars de-tuned....

Car is clean, 1 owner and everything. After reading up I find that it either flew off or someone probably stole it ( 2 most common ways that people have experienced) I am going tomorrow to the dealer to have them check a few things for me and will ask them if they can get another badge for that side. As for the tuning part i'm looking into Renntech stage1 which my local dealer is a supplier for them which would put me at 625hp 745tq as advertised. Gonna ask some questions about that as well

Just got my first MB also, a E350bluetec, and it too does not have working window washers. You push in the button and the wipers move but no washing fluid comes out of the sprayers. Brand new car!!!

Anyway great car and its the same price as my E bluetec, that is f'ukin crazy. But at least I get 4 times the gas mileage

nice car, needs some 22" HRE, and not sure why this didnt turbo the CL600 in new body style.

ZZZspeed- push it, push it real good. all benz are like that it feels like it stops but keep pushing it will go a tad more and the sprayers work just fine. fools me everytime too.

Lol I was about to say that!!! I went to the dealer today and it turns out you have to oust it in real good to get the fluids out
also I don't know what you mean by non-turbo in the new body style? This one is also bi-turbo as the previous 03 up generation.

Everything is checked and even talked to the previous owner. It was in Florida all it's life and then was sold at the central Florida auction to the guy I bout it from. He said that he just saw it missing one day. So far I ordered a new badge and a new key and also an updated bluetooth puck to work with my iPhone 4s. Car was checked out today at the dealership and everything is good. It's also really fun to feel the gobs of torque and witness the loss of traction. This thing is a beast!!!

Thanks for all the replies!!
