God, I'm tempted. I don't care for white cars, or plain black interiors, or those rather fussy wheels, and the mileage is high-ish (the one previous owner must have spent a fortune on fuel), and I'm still distinctly wary of the M157 from previous experience, but I like the CLS SB a lot, and the prospect of another M157 with the 550 hp AMG Performance Package is extremely attractive...

Keep telling yourself the spec is a bit on the poverty side and that it's covered lots of miles. That might help

If it was an M113K car I wouldn't hesitate, even in that colour scheme ...

 

[SarahAnn200]

I like it but I'm easily led

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Wow that's cheap. 133k should be fine. Possibly will need rear air shocks replacing. Mine went at 68k (previous owner paid)

Hi , What would you have to pay to purchase the AMG E class estate of the same year.

Could be a great car but only the next owner know.

You pays your money

There's been a high miles white car around for a while. Not sure if this is it.
Apart from the dealer blurb it may not be the higher bhp car. On a 12 plate it would be the 525 engine but it does have the LSD and with all the carbon so it may be an edition one car. These had the cooled dynamic seats, the S pack, no red calipers or lsd though, and all the interior carbon. Most seemed to be black.
This one has been around since Dec but it sounds a great car and the price seems fair. If he'd offered a vaguely fair price (by my standards) on my e55 I'd have bought it but no deal sadly. He seemed a decent bloke though.

Mercedes Benz CLS 63AMG Shooting Brake Edition 1 2013

Dramatic, exciting and one of the fastest estates on the planet - the CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake with the optional Edition 1 package. Putting an extra 32 hp and 100 Nm of torque under the bonnet, it brings the engines output up to 557 hp and 800 Nm . Finished in Obsidian black metallic with…

£6k for for 75k miles? I think I'm more in favour of the black car especially considering resale.

Depends on the mileage, options and whether bought privately or dealer.
I've not seen a biturbo with as many miles up for sale before.
At a guess, between £19k -24k for a 12 plate E wagon'

I'm in the minority that think the CLS shooting brake is an unattractive car. The saloon is nice but the shooting brake does nothing for me.

Weirdo! I can recommend good optician in your area!

The other white one was I think this one: 2014(63) MERCEDES BENZ CLS63 AMG SHOOTING BRAKE 5.5 V8 BiTURBO 7G TRONIC MCT EST | eBay. It's gone now, but it was so cheap because it is a damaged repaired car. Mileage was 30k less - not a huge amount.

If this one is genuinely 557 bhp, it will have Option P30 - the AMG Performance Pack. BUT... I've seen an MB brochure online which stated that the pre-facelift E63 PP cars had the LSD as standard, but they did not; my 2012 E63 also had the PP, but no LSD, so the CLS may have been the same, and the dealer may be wrong.

The black one isn't an SB, but even if it was, I definitely wouldn't want an all-black car anyway. I never worry about resale value; once the money's spent, it's gone.

My biturbo engine needed (very expensive) major repair at less than 100K miles. I'm satisfied I know now what the cause was - dodgy intercooler pump - but it's made me very wary of high-mileage M157s; who's to know if one has already had the problem, and been sorted before the real damage has shown up? Bent conrods will never get better on their own...

The ad doesn't mention Harman Kardon or the Driver Assistance Package, so presumably this car doesn't have them; because of the thick B pillars and the heavily-tinted rear windows, the DAP in particular I find very useful indeed.

The clincher? I've just been out and looked at my blue one again; nah, I'm not swapping it for a white one.

No optician required. Just not a fan of that rear end at all.

 

[DavidL]

White does rather make it look like a whale, not a colour I'd choose but black I can live with (the black shooting brake is definitely a shooting brake mind). At least it's not silver. Blue or red would be even better.
AMGeed - we'll forgive this lapse in taste, only this time mind The rear end isn't very practical as estates go but especially in amg guise they do have some presence.

 

[E55BOF]

...the black shooting brake is definitely a shooting brake mind...

So it is. Which opticians do you recommend? AMGeed and I can go together...

 

[DavidL]

Apart from me you mean?

You may be in the minority but not alone. Does absolutely nothing for me either, I too find it unattractive and don't get me started on white cars!

Find another dozen like it, and it might be reasonable to start to draw conclusions.

 

[SpikyMikey]

I know nothing about these cars, but is that bonnet to bumper shut line correct?

I definitely wasn't drawing any conclusions from it, just noting it. It's an outlier on the market, so no inferences made!
I was very sorry to read your story a while ago...I like to keep my cars up to high miles and it did make me nervous about the M157.

[Q]I know nothing about these cars, but is that bonnet to bumper shut line correct?[/Q]

The bonnet has two adjustable catches, one each side; the left one needs screwing down a touch.
