Mercedes CLS320 (C)W219

[PD9]

Hi all,

After months of looking for the right car with the correct spec and history, I eventually stumbled upon the ideal CLS. Negotiation and a visit to see the car and it's all mine! Great Spec including xenon's, heated seats, AMG factory fitted kit & 19" AMG Alloys.

Drives excellent and a lovely vehicle to sit inside, cabin is superb and the quality is well.. Quality. The CLS has always been a head turner for me and I knew one day I would like to own this car. I have already put 1000 miles on the clock on a roundtrip to Devon (42.6 MPG); it's really at home on the motorway but provides great stability and feel on the B-Roads. Plenty of power under the bonnet and goes well for such big car.

I managed to get out for a few pictures today as the winter weather hasn't been too kind over New Year. The car gets a lot of looks and attention which is nice and even taking pictures today I had a XJR owner who walked over, chatted away and had poke around the car while he left his missus in the Jag! Excellent.

Here it is:

Thanks, the CLS really is a car that divides opinion on looks; I'm not keen on the standard 'round' bumpers of the early versions, however as mentioned above, the AMG kit really sets the car off.

What was the "correct spec" you were looking for OP? The bits you listed or more than that?

I was looking for: Black Leather interior, Full leather sports steering wheel with controls, Airmatic, Parking Sensors, Sat-Nav, Dark matte wood and Non cup holder centre console, as well as the additions mentioned previously.

I was lucky to come across this car but months of searching proved good. I see it holding its value pretty well as the xenons, sat nav and AMG kitted cars still command a premium in the classifieds.
