Auto Trader UK - MERCEDES-BENZ CL420

I have been debating one of these for ages to relace my 530 as a winter car. This looks great but has been up for sale for months.
Has anyone seen it or have a view?

The reason it has been parked on a forecourt for months is because it doesnt tick many peoples boxes.
Petrol
Big Engine
Potentially expensive repair bills
Expensive to insure
etc
etc

However its an AWFUL lot of car for almost pocket money price.
I like it and if I was after one, it would be on my list as potential...........very nice.

Thought it looked a little cheap for the miles.


OT - Howard i saw you (or your car at least) on the Kingston one way system the other week, the reg rang a bell and now your sig has told me why

 

[Howard]

Oh dear ....

I wasn't doing anything terrible was I ?

( certainly not giving it the beans through the John Lewis underpass )

Nah don't worry you pulled into the layby outside Barcadia, so well behaved i'd say. Us, on the other hand, may have made a bit of noise in my mates Mustang

Didn't see that !! I was probably watching the yoots at the bus stop making sure none of them tried to rob me ....

I was picking Mrs Toad up after an evening team building / bowling ....

That John Lewis underpass is soooooo much fun if it's empty ....

Many thanks

I wasn't being facaetious , i just wasn't sure you'd noticed it in the ad ....

I would ask why it is a Cat D , could be nothing really , and if you are going to hang on to it for a while , and not look to make a quick buck with a sale , it could be a very good buy ...

Ask them !

 

[stevieb15]

neither was I, I hadn't spotted it in the add because I wasn't interested in credit/cards etc and didn't read far enough down.
you're right I will ask them
many thanks again

These CLs are not exactly the prettiest MB ever made either.
