Anyone here owned one? Anything in particular that just screams don't buy one?

Don't mind the running costs and what not.

We have a CL600 216 and it has so far proved more reliable than the previous CL215.

Audio amplifier in the boot has been the only fault. Apparently a common issue due to moisture damage.

They seem to offer huge value. The only qualification is that main dealer ones are vastly over-priced (and I am afraid experience tells you get very little more buying from a main dealer than you get when buying from a back street garage). I suppose the only point is that in a year or two, if you come to sell, you may find it worth very little; but the impact of this depends how much you pay in the first place. They're not as elegant to my eye as a w215 but that is a matter of total subjectivity.
