Thinking of a CLS....info please

[oldmedic999]

I have had the CDI 350 CDI since December 2010. 9 Months old 22k after trade in. Drives a dream. Eats the miles and goes like a mad thing. Fuel consumption 38mpg average 70mph. Makes me smile every day I drive it.

Can I ask, how much was the car in pound notes, purchased from a MB dealer ??? Did you get much/any discount of the sticker price ???

I see a nice Facelift at Cargiant.co.uk. today, 19k looks like a lot of car for that.

I love my E320 CDI but after 3 years I am fancying a change and may put it up for sale.

I was thinking of replacing it with a CLS. Must be Obsidian Black, and probably a 320CDI again. As I only do about 5k per year maybe a petrol would be better, not sure yet.

I would prefer a light (cream/pebble) interior with black wood.

Probably a 2005 or 2006 model. Budget under 20k

What do you think? Do you like the CLS?

What comes as standard?

What toys should it have, command, telephone etc.

I do not think that I have seen one with a glass roof? Do they come with these?

Hi i've owned my cls 500 for 6 months now & am more than pleased with it,like you i do relatively low annual miles in it(about 6k)which is why i chose the v8 petrol over a diesel.Over a tank the 500 will return about 22mpg & the road tax/insurance will be higher than the diesel but other running costs(servicing/tyres etc should be about the same).I've got 19"staggered amg's on mine & the ride is fantastic due to the 3 settings on airmatic which comes as standard as does parktronic front & rear.I have seen cls's with glass sunroofs but they are relatively rare & are a factory optional extra,whichever engine you choose try to get as higher specced car with full service history as it will be easier to shift when the time comes,good luck
