Twin Turbo V12 Beast: 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL600 C215
This next car comes as a tip from Jeff who writes: The idea of owning a twin turbo V12 from Germany sounds so damn awesome…. until something like a valve cover gasket costs you $9,800. Still, a vehicle that personified the word “depreciation”. Find this 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL600 offered for $8000 in Plano, TX via fakefarce turboturbo.

Question: what is a car you can readily afford until something (anything) goes wrong? Answer: this. Remember looking at these about 2 years ago when I couldn’t believe how cheap they were. 5 minutes of research in maintenance costs and problem areas had my forehead sweating.
Personal opinion, but these are incredibly ugly. I remember seeing them when new and wondering who let this get through the design process. The c pillar is just odd.
