Today's UCOTD is a 20-year-old sportster with relatively low miles. It's a 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG Lorinser.


This car has mostly been garaged and the seller says it has been well maintained with very few problems. He or she has all the records.

With the aftermarket Lorinser upgrades, which include a bodykit, exhaust, and engine upgrades, the car makes 605 horsepower. There's also custom audio, Zenetti wheels, and a carbon-fiber silver wood kit.

This car is for sale in Calabasas, California and has about 68K miles on the odometer. The ask is $21,999.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Beautiful car and from what I know the NA AMG V8 is extremely solid as is the 5-speed automatic. If you've got the stomach for expensive maintenance and probably some electrical and suspension glitches, it's a awesome car for Corolla money.

    I dipped my toe into German engineering with a 07 E550 in 2011 when it had 60k on the clock. It was a great car until it wasn't. I cut my losses when I traded it for a new Ram pickup truck. I don't regret the experience, but I won't buy another German car.

  • Kcflyer I don't see how this helps or hurts but it it does somehow boost recruitment than great. Since it didn't cost the taxpayers anything all the better. I commend anyone with the stomach for a career in law enforcement in this era.
  • EBFlex The CyberPuke has been an unmitigated disaster. Amazingly low quality even for Tesla, extremely overpriced, etc. That is why Elon should take a pay cut.
  • 28-Cars-Later [list=1][*]Fedgov and it's interests doesn't want Americans to have cheap trucks.[/*][*]Vinfast had the balls to ask $47,200 for its wares - this was a combination of greed and stupidity on the part of VinFast. The same product for a more realistic sum would have sold as-is just fine. VinFast also announced its VF3 will launch at $20K (but more likely $25+, and that's before any additional tariffs) but sells in Vietnam for $9,248. [/*][/list=1]
