Yep, that's mine

That looks like a very nice example. I wish you the very best with the sale.

Pretty sure they came with 2 main keys and a service key too. Cambelt is £££ and is time or 90k swapover, can't remember how long the gap is though, Google will probably say. Expensive job. Have a feeling its four figures as the pump is only an Is300 part, but there may be pattern ones, defo see if it's veen done or when due.

Also have a feeling they have floating calipers, so a thud on first drive is usual. If weird these days. Also worth checking their state, visually at least.

Noted. The dealer has claimed it has "full main dealer service history and record of a recent cambelt change", but he also said it was a part ex he knows little about, and it appears a fairly small time garage, so let's see what it is like and what paperwork he has. Also took the somewhat odd approach of wanting a £395 non-refundable deposit to take it off sale, or a £100 refundable deposit not to take it off sale ... not sure what the point of the refundable deposit is ...

You could counter offer with "give me £395 to turn up and look at it, or £100 not to come and look at it"?

Have we had this CLS?

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104081...

Dirty diesel, but that interior makes it worth considering, no?

Out of interest, recent good news (previously detailed in the thread) means that I’ll be schlepping from Lancs to just outside Brizzle to commute to a new job before we relocate later this year.

I had considered a 630i/SL350 as the ideal car for the job, but is there anything else I’m missing?

Priority is threadish budget, coupe/cab preferred - otherwise an estate of some sort, easy application of Bluetooth music, heated seats and known problems that are easy to fix, so no coolant pipes for instance on BMW v8’s.

Usual thread priorities of ruinously expensive when new, waftability, space for two people’s luggage for a road trip around La Belle France and a gentlemanly number of cylinders (<6).

Its petrol and I guess within haggle of budget, looks a decent spec and facelift.
However they do have balance shaft issues, though someone of ample beardage will advise better.

Some teeth sucking about how far you've travelled, how much it's going to cost to get home, how you really don't *need* a car, and you especially don't *need* a Mercedes-Benz, conducted with the stance of a man who's used to getting what he wants (Hands on hips, shoulders back, chest puffed out, feet more than shoulder width apart) should see that in thread budget I reckon.

Sucking from the green pump, coupled with the interior colour, definitely makes it more interesting.

Sadly, I'd be doing a disservice to beard wearers everywhere to even call my Mercedes Beard stubble, can anyone suitably hirsute confirm?

Pretty sure the balance shaft issues were ironed out late 2007. Of more concern to me is the fact it is showing as an imported vehicle and that the steering wheel has been replaced. Why has it been replaced? Has the airbag been deployed? I would proceed with caution with this one.

And I really don't like that interior colour. I think the CLS actually pulls off the black leather and wood colour scheme quite well.

No heated seats; an interior that'll be hard to sell on again and a front missing tow eye cover (and the other info above); personally I'd be staying away from what one!

Missed the towing eye, not sure on the wheel, is it just the light making the wood on the wheel and dash not match up?
But agree with others too many questions.

In my opinion its too expensive, has no NAV, no heated seats, no parking sensors (I think), no memory seats.

Agreed. The guts of it seem sensible though. It’s a 15 yr old motor, but very low miles, so should still be good for a while. No doubt a trader would rock up with maybe 3.5?

I thought that. I can't see the King of Thailand being happy in an Uber XL S-Class with plastic door cards.

Oh that's very much wowsers.... just hope it's not pearl paint, the Crown's just had to be quoted up on some work and so many paintshops don't want to deal with it due to that type of paint being "hard"...
