Time for one last decent car before I get the Micra and the beige shoes...

I'm thinking of a 2012/13 CL500 with maybe 30k or less on the clock. Apart from the usual FSH etc. is there anything in particular to look out for such as model upgrade dates and so on?

I'd expect to buy from a main dealer for peace of mind but any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Tony

Sublime car, I have one for my DD. Not too much to worry about if you're going through the official route. There are an awful lot of gadgets on the cl so be extra vigilant when testing.

Looks like you prefer 2 wheels - should be able to keep up with your uncle and your dad though maybe not quite so comfortable...

Yes I prefer two wheels my uncles CL500 has been fettled & is pushing out just over 500 ponies my dad on the over hand is at 719bhp (CL63 5.5 Biturbo) which is a bit trickier to leave behind, well until you hit a bit of traffic wink
