Hi can you give me the running costs per KM for a Mercedes CL 63 AMG 5.3 l V8 please.

Thanks in advance.

The AA running cost calculations are based on an average of a number of different models with similar engine capacities. As per the question you asked yesterday regarding X5 and Cayenne, the types of cars you are talking about are likely to fall outside the average.
Like the Cayenne, this is a petrol powered vehicle over 3.5 litres, so our calculation would indicate $1.07 per km, which is a rate acceptable to the IRD.
However, if this CL63 is a late model vehicle, the real cost could be much higher due to the heavy depreciation.
Apologies that we can't be more specific for vehicles such as these.
