C218 CLS questions

The lineup is confusing. There was the "standard" CLS (only available pre-facelift 2011-2013/14) which has the double bar grille and additional chromework along the lower edge of the doors and side bumpers. Xenon headlights (round bulbs) instead of LEDs. Also with 18" wheels.

Then there are "AMG" models with one bar grille, no lower side chrome and (nearly always) 19" wheels. These are like the AMG-line in more recent models. Engines are diesels and petrols as with the standard models.

Then there are the real AMG CLSs which are 6.3l V8 petrol and coupe only.

On the 19" wheels, my CLS500SB ("AMG", not real AMG!) had 18" from new. My previous CLS320CDI came with 19" and I swapped them for the smaller ones. Both my cars have Airmatic and drive much better on the smaller wheels imho.
 
Not sure it has AirMatic seats...

Pretty much the same spec as my old 350 SB, decently priced, reasonable mileage.
 
Have you seen this one? Low mileage, but pre-Adblue, so less of an issue.

Did look at that. Initially, I was interested, but when I read some of the company reviews I became a little less enamoured.
They seem to have a bit of trouble with their after sales service according to several previous customers.
 
Or this:

Yes, I saw that too. Nice specification, but a private seller l, which puts me off a bit. Granted, a dealer charges a bit more, but you are afforded more consumer protection.
