I like cars but don't have the time to scour the country on weekends when I want to change.
As I bought my last car, the CLS350 GE, unseen without a hitch I thought I'd give it another go.
I've been touring via AutoTrader and selected a few E320CDI estates, W211 post 2006 facelift. Best deals seem to be on cars around the 100k mileage mark, sub 70k cars are 50% more.
Viewed a car near home, well 30miles, one owner FMBSH 96k. Nice clean car but basic spec and some evidence of salt corrosion.
A few others were sold so found a similar car in Derby with Car a lot, on the phone these guys were super helpful and responsive. When I explained I lived 85miles away so wanted more details before viewing they explained they could deliver the car to me following a refundable £100 deposit.
They are also the only dealers to beat WBAC.com price for my CLS.
So Friday should see the CLS go and we're back in an estate. W211 E320CDI Avantgarde estate, silver with black leather. Options include COMAND NTG2, 6CD changer, memory seats, parktronic & telephone prewire.
Once I've confirmed it's UHI I'll order a ViseeO MB4 / MB4+ Bluetooth adapter. I already have winter wheels from my W219. Shouldn't need anything else.
