@Karam Yes. Refer to previous response and attached receipt. Thank you
@MercedesDad The radiator was replaced in 2019, thanks for raising that. I have forwarded the receipt to the admin to post here.
@Whisk18 Sorry, just catching up on messages.... the front struts do not collapse anymore. Not sure if this had anything to do with it, but between abc fluid replacement and a new battery, the problem did not recur. The front suspension is firm and responds as intended with and without abc mode ON.
@Mgtotheb I will forward the receipt from previous owner for the ignition coil (1 bank), ignition coil module and catalytic converter replacement to admin to be posted. WRT the spark plugs, when the car was inspected for CEL, spark plugs were confirmed to be in good order.
@Mgtotheb It's chipped paint, I was planning to powder coat at some point but never got around. Shame on me. I can have this done if the buyer so prefers.
@bhenry3 I own a well maintained super high mileage CL600 as well. The CL65 has a special feel, hands-down. The only reason I am selling this CL65 is it's not bright silver, which all of my cars are. Otherwise I would hold it on to it tight. Granted that I add 1000-2000 miles a year on any of my 23 cars, the CL600 has held up pretty good for 5-6 years now, only needing a minor hose replacement and a new thermostat. You are right in that you can get 80% of the CL65 with the CL600. Now, I don't imagine anyone buying this low mileage example for a daily driver. While maintenance is not cheap, $10k a year you mention has no basis unless you have it consigned to the dealer for every minor thing, in my humble experience.
@300GWRO Thanks for the comments. The quick & easy fix is with double sided tape. I included the picture to disclose as-it-is.
@Motts71 Yes, coil pack 7-12 was replaced in 2018 at 70,763 miles, prior to my ownership. Yes, abc system has fresh fluid. 1x partial container is stored in the trunk.
