Ok my E350 CDi Coupe is being collected on Friday morning, so Iv decided to take the plunge and go for one of the above cars. Potential big bills and costly maintenance do concern me but as long as I buy the right car, I think I will cope...
Their is both a CLS55 and E55 advertised on this forum which I am hoping to look at within the next two weeks. OK, so I have some questions. I know MPG will be terrible but I do no more than 70-80 miles in a week using the car every day so fuel is not an issue, insurance is also fine as is road tax so longer as its a 2005 car and below.
I am assuming the 5 speed gearbox on these are bulletproof as is the engine and supercharger? If the air suspension fails, what bill would I be looking at? If the air suspension is on its way out, what are the tell tale signs?
If suspension components fail, ball joints, bushes, control arms etc, what sort of prices are we looking at once more? If the SBC Pump needs replacing, again how would I know this and how much to have it rectified?
Anything else in terms of what to be looking at and what to budget would be greatly appreciated....
