Slightly maybe, probably just run in although a bit high mileage wise for my liking.
Service history is important as coil packs go and are expensive. I'm just into about a month of ownership of a CL65 and it is sublime again a bit juicy but you don't buy these on a tight budget

A lot of it looks like stuck on tat. Pretty sure the badge on the centre of the dash is off a smart car.
The wheels are a mix of fake and genuine Kahn going by the loose wheels in the boot and the up close pic of one on the car. Nor is the bodykit a BRABUS item. Not with your bargepole!

Thanks for that, just compared what you said to a picture of one my mate owns. The front spoiler looks different, his has a splitter on his and it's badged B63.

It just looks like a "standard" V12 to me and the Brabus stuff could be stick on. I have a B63S and S65 and the engine in the B63S is clearly a Brabus engine - interesting that there were no photos of the engine itself for this car! I part exchanged my S65 with all coil packs etc done. It is now for sale in West Yorkshire - all work done and car in lovely condition and properly maintained.

What a car! How large is the gap from trade in to current listing price if you don't mind me asking?

I traded in at £20k. There are a few inaccuracies in their details i noted - such as it has been serviced but in the last 4 years or so a Maserati dealership near me. But all the work on engine and suspension was done by Mercedes dealer. Also the radar system wasn't working when I sold it and the reversing bleepers. I believe Mercedes took it to auction after i traded it in for a newer car - so i suspect this garage has put a a big mark up on it!!

That is most definitely fake! Brabus my Harris
