Please help !! I am new to the forum and would love some advice please.
I am looking to buy a CL 4.2 pillar less coupe 1997 in September, I will take advantage of an RAC / AA inspection but could anyone give me any pointers before I commit to the model - I am new to the Mercedes brand. Cheers
 
Got a healthy bank balance for the fuel?

check everything works, especially parktronic (parking sensors - everything merc is xxxtronic or xxxmatic), smooth gear changes from cold, rear windows drop an inch when fronts are opened, and they are silent at speed (pig to adjust - took me DAYS to get right).

Air con will prob not work by now. open the window, enjoy the v8 noise.

all doors/boot self lock (ie nudge to first 'detent' on door lock, it pulls itself closed)

front tyres wear horribly quickly with this weight - I found a tyre shop that did part worns from an audi dealer - some even still had the hair on them.


I miss mine.
 
Thanks Guy good pointers, I am considering an LPG conversion to atone for what I thought would be horrific fuel costs.

Cheers

John
