Nice looking CLS - any thoughts?

Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0 CLS320 CDI 7G-Tronic 4dr

Any thoughts, advice on this one?

Nice but £3.5k to £4.5k over priced. You can get 350 Grand Editions for that. Mileage is low though.

Strap back thats some price, agree with Gareth.

Very well spec`d car , looks to have pretty much everything.

Not seen many non AMG ones with most of the option boxes ticked.

A wee bit over priced though , the full fat 55`s and 63`s can be purchased for around the same price , a little more if you want a low mileage one though.

I don't mind paying a little extra for a known good car , when I bought my Saab 9-3 Aero it was the most expensive one in the country but it was a good one (we both knew it was) and served me well for seven years.

If it is exactly what you want , rather than a compromise , then go and see it and haggle hard.

I agree 3k - 4k over priced nice car though but not worth that price tag

There will always be room to negotiate.

Quirky colours, but I like the change from the usual German Teutonic greys etc

Low mileage an issue on a diesel (despite promising words and Providence)?

Done more homework on it now. According to the VIN decoder, it's a Cyprus car, not UK. Also, second owner only did about 300-800 miles a year, which isn't promising for a car with a dpf.

Seller says he spent 4 years looking for the right car, but now wants to sell it after just 6 months. He also says 2 "main Mercedes AMG dealers" have offered him £13k unseen and wanted me to agree a price before I could view, suggesting he bring the car to me, not letting me see it at his.

All in all, just too many alarm bells for me and at a highly inflated price too. Thanks for all the advice. Much appreciated.

There isn't a car on the planet I would spend 4 years looking for .. Unless it came with Katy Perry in the boot.

Definitely alive .. Not that pervy. However .... Katy Perry .. Hmm

Car is gone btw

 

[jdrrco]

I suspect it will reappear soon. As good a machine as it was, I struggle to believe that it went for that price, especially with the restrictions he placed on anyone wanting to view it.

Picking my new one up tomorrow...

 

[jdrrco]

I know I am biased, but I think I got the better deal...

It's back...! And offered for the same price as last year, in spite of being a year older, an extra keeper and 9,000 miles more on the clock.
