Hello MB forum,
Its a number of years since I've owned a Mercedes, actually back in the 80s!
Currently running a Maserati 4200, I am thinking of changing next year and have started my usual 6-9 months of research! I could still change to a fresher, lower miles 4200, but am also impressed by the two cars noted above.
Apart from the obvious pros and cons, I'd be delighted if a few owners of the CL or SL of approximately the year listed, could fill me in on the finer points of each car, perhaps in the format below -
Top 5 things that must be checked on inspection....
The top 5 things that never give bother....
Known smaller/intermittent problems.....
Things you'd wished you'd known before you'd bought one....
The things that surprised/pleased you most about it.....
Service costs.....
Thanks once again to anyone who can help out,
P
