Hi All,

Been lurking around for the last 6 months or so whilst considering a V8V, drifted off tack slightly and started
Looking at Mercedes CL's, now this car has caught my eye, fancy a low miles one owner car and this seems to fit the bill, what Do you knowledgable people think.

Cheers in advance

Its got a marmite interior, you'll either love it or hate it.
Advert doesn't say if its got Premium stereo, memory / heated seats, rear parking sensors or heated front screem. May have all of them, but not listed in the advert, and I couldn't see from the pictures.
Looks a good price for a one owner car.
To be honest the interior is my big issue, that colour is not one I would choose given a choice but it does look a good price.

I will check on the spec tomorrow, are all the items you mention options ? Also no mention of sat nav !

Would the lack of all the above reduce the price significantly ?

Well I went to view the car today and have report that I was very disappointed with car, putting the interior colour to one side for a moment, the car as very poorly presented, wheels damaged, leather scuffed on door cards,around the ignition key area, handbrake gaitor and generally looked scruffy and unloved, carpets were not even vacuumed !!!! Exterior had a few car park dings and clearly had not been mopped, loads of car wash micro scratches.

Interior colour was iron ore according to the Aston Martin spec sheet, it did however look much darker to me.

It may have been a one owner, low mileage car, but it did not look like it.

Onwards and upwards
