The 2008 Badged Series AMG CLS 63 AMG

I call my 2008 CLS 63 AMG 6.2 ā€œ THE BEAST ā€œ I bought a High Performance Chip for it for $1,000.00 and I got a 100 more horsepower boost! Now Iā€™m at 0 to 60 in 3.2 Seconds and the Quarter Mile in 10.9978 Seconds at a speed of 145.7 MPH. As a luxury 4 dr Couple, smooth ride and awesome handling! Also the sloping roof looks awesome and sexy! Fortunately for me, my vin number was number 290 , German Model and fully Badged! I picked up this Bad Boy in Grobespach for $258,000.00 in 2008! Value today this Badged Series is worth around $96,000.00 ! Pleasant to look at and a head turner! Color, Platinum Silver outside and Black inside ! Half roof is Carbon Fiber, Pillars and panels! Dashboard solid Wood šŸŖµ not plastic! Alcantara Headliners and Quality Leather interior ; Heated Seats and Mirrors! Sport Aluminum AMG 19ā€ Rims! Polished exhaust Tips ( 4 )!! Adjustable Sport front Bucket Seats ; Leather wrapped steering Wheel!

Fast and fun but expensive maintenance

Very fun to drive, this four passenger coupe is loaded. Trunk space is plenty, but not wide enough for golf clubs. Rear tires wear fast, but fronts last awhile. These cars are prone for suspension leaks.
