CLS350 Shooting Brake

[Abb]

Can you stop posting those photos please - I now have seat envy... No Luxury Package on facelift cars sadly. Both yours look lovely. There are three 350 Petrols On Auto Trader and a couple of 500’s - did the 4.7 engine suffer from the same issues as the 350’s? Appreciate they are pricier.

I think the 4.7tt in the 500 is pretty much bulletproof but don't qute me on that, it is just I haven't read/heard any horror stories with this lump.

Again, like the 350 petrol, these are hard to come by too.

Awesome, just checked the spec of your car Abb, I'm going to start the search, got until the end of November so a bit of time to find one. Would prefer SB but would settle for a nice Coupe with the right spec.

Any particular engine?

Would prefer a big capacity petrol (I've had a few V8's in other marques before) but I'd settle for a 350 derv

Should have asked a few more important questions, price range, exterior colour, any definite no no's, etc.

Sorry for the thread hi jack Op!

Prefer metallic black or a dark metallic grey, budget up to around £16k depending on year prefer the newer shape (bigger screen and 9 speed), the only no no is high miles, I'm looking for sub 60k

Well that rules the 2014 facelift out, as only ones near 16k will be high milers or cat D, unless used prices dive over the winter.
And then the 2011s will be high mileage anyway..

So, 2011s:
350 petrol, meh
500 petrol, awesome, super rare
63, not in price range
250 diesel, adequate, plenty of SBs about
350 diesel, great engine, plenty of SBs about, just finding the right one..

Nice spec, nice price, not a CLS, a step up!

Finding one with a decent spec is proving difficult. volvo may be going back sooner than expected so may need to compromise on spec or up the budget a bit

Time to swap my CLS 350 Shooting Brake for a CLS 63 Shooting Brake. Advice? | AMG Lounge

Hi all, I've decided to sell my TVR as well as my current CLS 350 and trade in/up to a CLS 63 AMG. I've found the CLS Shooting Brake package a perfect fit for me and my family, but I need to have an AMG in my life at some point and now is the time. Wondered if there was any advice you could...

Hi guys

been directed to this thread, I’m the one looking to swap my 350 SB for a 63, when budget allows but may be able to sell mine sooner if I can arrange to share 1 car with the wife or borrow my brother in laws spare car.
So specs are as follows

2013 13 Plate
63700 miles but will increase slightly before I sell
Cavansite Blue
Rear Cam
Exclusive Beige Nappa Leather
Blind Spot Assist
Lane Keep Assist (Passive)
Parktronic
LED Multifunction Headlights
Multicontour Seat Package
Ventilated Front Seats
Traffic Sign Assist
Microfibre Headliner
3 Zone Climate
Harmon Kardon
TV Tuner
Split View Display
Exclusive Package
Air Suspension Airmatic all round

I have also added a CarPlay box for wireless CarPlay that is seamlessly integrated into the OEM system. However, this box does not support the Split View display so I have fitted a non split view display to allow CarPlay use (I prefer this to the split view which although very cool, would hardly ever be used). However I can switch it back no problem and will include the other monitor in the sale anyway.

Condition wise, it's generally good. Wheels are almost brand new as I replaced the whole set and tyres less than 9 months ago because the ones that came with it were buckled, and they are unmarked. Bodywork has usual age related marks and the only thing of note is that on the rear quarter under the fuel cap, I left some bird droppings on there too long and it unfortunately peeled the lacquer. I am considering whether to get that done and have had a couple prices of around £250 so I will factorthat into any sale price
Internally, everything is as good as you would expect from a 2013 car, the nappa leather holds up really well so it almost looks new in a lot of places and even the drivers seat is not what I'd consider worn, and I'm picky about that stuff. It's always treated with Dr. Leather to remove any stains or transfer from jeans etc

It has also been remapped by MSL a few months ago. It flies now, drives lovely at cruising speeds but flies when you want it to.

please search the forums for the MSL specs as I’m on my phone and can’t find them now, plus feel free to look at my old threads for any details on what I’ve done/maintained.

in terms of asking price, this isn’t a sale thread so not sure if I can put one on but equally I’m not 100% sure what to list it as. Prices seem To have help up well so I’m not going to take peanuts for it but equally will give forum members a good deal hopefully.
Any questions let me know, I’m out and about but will respond ASAP when I can.

If anyone wants the VIN I can PM for you to do a Vin decode as there may be specs that I’ve forgotten.

 

[Zero7]

Can you PM me some pictures and a ballpark what you are looking for, spec seem really nice.

I will do, I will see if I have any pics when it was clean! Otherwise I’m planning to give it a good clean this weekend and will take some. I will pm you a price in the meantime

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like I can PM you, guessing due to you being new. Not sure how to get round that without you putting your email up in public which isn’t ideal

 

[Zero7]

now that is a bit of a quandary isn't it. I think I need a number of posts so not sure how to get around it, how about you text me your details, I don't mind putting my number up 07970 298354

 

[Technoholic]

I’ve got your number now so feel free to delete. I’ll drop you my details after I’ve had my lunch and watch the f1 quali!

 

[Zero7]

cool. must remember to to watch the F1 quali too

I'm looking at the CLS SB market at the moment and I'm interested in the price and curious at the reason for it being confidential? If nothing else, it would be a helpful guide whilst I'm decision making.

It's not confidential, I just didn't know if the rules allowed me to put a sale price in a non sale forum like some sites (*cough*pistonheads), so I was going to wait until I'd listed it for sale in the classified section.

But as it seems no one has said anything yet, I'll tell you that my asking price is £13k ono

Ah, I don't visit Pistonheads, but I know they have a high profile For Sale section, so I guess that's why , to prevent circumnavigating the rules. That seems like a good price from what I've seen so far. My problem is I've become used to plenty of cargo space, having an S211 E class and an R class. I've owned both for a while and would like a change, but I'm worried how useful I would find the cargo space? Does yours have a sunroof?
