[silversurfer10]

Hi all,

I’m reluctantly putting my cherished CLS 350 CDI Grand Edition up for sale (due to an imminent incoming company car). This has been my pride and joy for the past 5 years, a truly special car that’s been meticulously maintained and still turns heads everywhere it goes. I’ve written up a full description below with all the details, mileage, recent work, and a very honest assessment of its condition.

Any questions, feel free to ask. Here’s the full write-up:

Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 CDI Grand Edition (2010) in stunning Iridium Silver with full black leather. Quite possibly the finest, most original example on sale. This rare Grand Edition is 1 of only 560 ever made. Privately owned from new, cherished by me for 5 years, it is reluctantly offered only due to an imminent incoming company car.

Meticulously maintained regardless of cost with full documented service history, it has just passed its MOT, offering 12 months’ peace of mind. A new battery, Bosch glow plugs and countless preventative replacements keep it in superb mechanical order.

Please note: the propshaft makes a light rattling noise and is already booked to be professionally repaired in a few weeks’ time. The current asking price reflects this, looking for around £3000. Once the work is completed, the price will be increased accordingly.

Always correctly warmed up and driven with genuine mechanical sympathy. Mileage is 143K,mostly gentle motorway miles, mileage will rise slightly as still in use. Frequently waxed to protect its gorgeous lines. Always run on quality diesel to keep the fuel system pristine.

The factory BRABUS-tuned V6 diesel delivers 272bhp and 590Nm of torque, paired to the silky 7G auto, giving truly effortless performance. It reaches 60 mph (0-60) in just 6.3 seconds. Refined and powerful, pulls strongly, idles quietly, starts instantly even in winter. Cruises beautifully at speed with astonishing economy - regularly over 40 mpg - yet still feels special every drive. Suspension is smooth and silent, steering precise, brakes sharp - all a testament to careful driving and alignment.

Interior is superb, beautifully maintained, frequently detailed, with everything working as it should: full black leather with stitched dash and doors, heated electric seats, Nappa leather wheel & gear selector. As a Grand Edition, it boasts exceptional spec: Bi-Xenon active headlights with cornering assist, Bluetooth, COMAND voice, cruise, climate, premium 10-speaker sound with 6CD, MP3 & AUX, plus parking sensors. Exterior remains highly presentable, marks commensurate with age shown honestly in photos. Still turns heads everywhere it goes and draws compliments.

Two original remote keys, full Mercedes books & manuals. A fantastic grand tourer that effortlessly wafts along yet surges forward when asked, making even a drive to work a pleasure. This cherished vehicle truly makes a superb impression on anyone who views it.

Private plate not included. Selling with a heavy heart. Any inspection welcome. Serious buyers only please. (Glow plug light may briefly appear on start despite new parts - purely cosmetic, starts perfectly even in freezing conditions.)
