Morning all
I have had a long hard think and I have decided that I should part with the SL500 at some point. I am just not getting to using it and it is wasted sitting there in the garage. No rush as have a couple of bits I want to do to get it as good as it can be. It has just had a large service @ PCS to correct anything that needed doing with a new MOT & zero advisories.
Therefore leaves me a spot I could fill and I came across a CLS55 AMG this week that took my eye. I have been itching to get back into an AMG again and having had the SL55 and E55K that 55K engine is hard to resist. I could go E55K or SL55 but think a CLS55 would be a better option.
This one is for sale and is a forum members car:
Mercedes-Benz CLS 5.5 CLS55 AMG 4dr
It looks like a decent lower mile 2 owner car. Decent spec but not top or bottom spec'd. Only thing I am struggling with is a value as I know nothing about values on these.
The history is not perfect but could be worse and could be better:
Date Mileage
10/10/05 0 - Supplied New
04/09/06 9847 - Mercedes Benz of Newcastle
15/01/08 18329 - Mercedes Benz of Newcastle
18/12/08 25524 - Formala One Newcastle
03/11/10 31745 - Keys Bexleyheath
13/02/13 37869 - Keys Bexleyheath
02/02/15 45662 - Keys Bexleyheath
31/08/16 53163 - Stevensons Maidstone
Anyone know the suggested service intervals? Should it be 10k or annually in a perfect world?
Any ideas on value of the car and anything good or bad about it please?
