    Identifying Engine Spec E350's

    I thought it was also Q2 2011. My 350 coupe (231)was registered in March 11 with a build date of Dec 10, seems strange that they would be building both engine versions at the same time.

    CLS Shooting Brake...real life examples please

    I agree the dash is important and to be fair my E350 was an 11 plate I think the facelift made the interior a much nicer place to be. Looking at the OP in this thread moving from a C220 (which I have also owned and enjoyed) to CLS is going to be a great move.

    CLS Shooting Brake...real life examples please

    I have had both vehicles, whilst the E350 coupe was a better drive the CLS is in a different league refinement wise. I loved my 350 and was sorry to see it go but it was plagued with the odd rattle like my previous C class. Both great cars but the CLS feels just a little bit more special.

    CLS250 mega economy

    I concur. I am 3000 miles in to the same vehicle. Reading to Manchester ( via Doncaster) last week and I managed mid 50. Granted I went through several roadworks with average speed cameras but still impressive.

    What's the cheapest CLS Lease Deal?

    Might be worth you doing some intensive research on the internet and taking the best price to your local dealer to see if they can match. I purchased my 250 sport saloon this way back in December and got a cracking deal. These models aren't shifting as quick as MB would like so there's usually a...

    CLS options

    I originally specced cavansite for my CLS then decided against and played it safe with Tenorite. I love the colour I have but wish I had stuck to my original choice.

    New car, number of problems

    I picked up a new CLS a few weeks ago and have had the same problem. I have had 3 previous Mercs and not had any issues. It was particularly bad this morning. I cannot find any dampness on the carpets. Back to the dealer I think.

    17k. I have noticed a massive improvement since around 12k according to the readout.

    Cracking MPG

    Driving from Manchester to Birmingham and back on the M6 earlier today. Apart from the speed restrictions and a couple of short jams it was pretty much around the 80mph mark most of the way. Only looked out of interest on my return so could probably do better. Amazing if accurate for a C220.

    Using a car broker - anyone done this?

    Bought a car from Drivethedeal about 7 years ago (VW). Paid the deposit and the car was delivered to a local dealer around 3/4 weeks later. From memory once the deposit is paid the dealer will then liaise with you regarding delivery and full payment. It was a while ago now but the experience was...

    Rejected My 2012 C350 CDI- It just turned ugly

    Not the case. The faut materialised on day one as I was driving away from the showroom. They apparently fixed it first time round but it re-occurred. MB Bolton said they were waiting for a software fix from Germany but I insisted on either a refund or a swap. There were no arguments or...

    Rejected My 2012 C350 CDI- It just turned ugly

    The point I was making was the different attitude of the dealers. I suspect that if I had purchased my vehicle from the same dealer as the OP and had got the same faulty indicator that I would have got a different experience from the one I did.

    Rejected My 2012 C350 CDI- It just turned ugly

    It just goes to show that different dealers give vastly different "service" I picked up my C220 125 ed 61 plate just before new year which had a problem with the rear drivers side indicator. Upon collecting the car after its fix a few days later the problem maifested itself again within a few...

    Should I buy the new C Class Coupe?

    The better spec appealed to me over performance. If performance was a major issue for me I would not even have looked at a 220/250 and stayed with the 350

    Should I buy the new C Class Coupe?

    What is the relevance?? The 125 edition was successful due to the fact that Comand was included. When I traded down from my E350 in the new year i was offered either a 250 sport no comand or the 220 with. The 220 actually cost more, i had no hesitation. I find that it is only those without...

    Should I buy the new C Class Coupe?

    Each to their own - I would rather drive a C200 Se with Comand than a C250 without. There is a reason as to why Comand costs more than the becker....it's better.

    Should I buy the new C Class Coupe?

    I agree with everything Kingy68 has written. I have exactly the same car in black (picked up 2 weeks ago). Although I got the Comand as part of the 125 edition I would not have purchased the car without it. Due to some issues I had with my original c class late last year I had been driving a...

    Should I buy the new C Class Coupe?

    Iphone connector is standard with Comand. The question as to what the car will be worth in 3 years time is impossible to answer. Only certainty is that the more you spend the more you lose. If the future value is a prime concern buy a car through agility.

    Should I buy the new C Class Coupe?

    I purchased my most recent vehicle on a 2 year PCP agility deal. Early days so far but the process was simple enough.
