respect for getting the CL. most ppl go for the SL. and in my book- grand touring coupe > drop top. its more manly, pimp, and aggresive.

my thoughts exactly. plus i am a little on the tall side so i dont feel as comfortable in the sl. i was actually looking at the s65 but feel in love with the cl when i saw it.

That is a beautiful car.. I could only dream to have one of those at this point. Enjoy it..

Oh yeah, don't let any cousins take it for a "test drive" like the other kid in the E55

sick car .... but for that price (or actually, for less), why not get something like an f430 (assuming you still have the 7 serices as a daily driver)

...but then again, thats just what I would have done

I dont think its an age thing, I am 25 as well and look what i own . Then again I dont usually tell what i do for a living myself either. Something more pertinent, nice care TLZ on 19z, I myself am looking into the S65, but i might wait a year or so before i trade my old one in for the newer model, goodluck with the car. You will love the engine in that thing but even more you will totally dig those breaks.

Sweet car! I just don't see the sense in paying to have all that power for a car that will probably sell for half of what it cost when new in only 2 yrs.... I'm around these cars all day long, I shake my head every time I see one....

it is a dream car of mine, obviously its gonna be worth crap in a few years but i was willing to deal with that just to have it. that probably still doesnt make sense financially speaking but thats all i can say.

Congrats again TLS on 19z.
I myself choose not to answer questions when asked what I do for a living simply cuz no matter what u say.... some1 will have a problem or a smart comment bout it!

Newho.. to U.
I was in the market and decided i need a 4 door instead so opted out the SL / CL area.

Cheers.

good point. if he were to post pics of his new F430 then this thread would hit 5 pages long within a few hours. and i dont think there would be one person saying... "hey, how come you didnt get the CL65?"

Good luck finding an F430 for MSRP or under, right now they're at around $250K+.

You go around once, that's all that counts........you buy what makes you happy.

There are things we all buy that we probably should not have (for one reason or another), but you can't take money and toys with you in the end.

Plus I'm sure you don't have a family to feed, so what's the big deal. Nothing wrong with a large emotional purchase.
