Mercedes is about the only car company that can take a stationwagon and not only make it beastly but make it sexy too.
SO what is your priced to sell price? Granting I would also need shipping to the midwest.
A couple of quick questions. Was the windshield replaced at some point and that is how the plastics by the mirror got damaged along with the scratces by the VIN? Is the tire with the inside wear pattern on the same location as the strut with the flex shield disconnected and does the steering pull to one side?
IF this goes for cheaper than my 2004 CL500, with 88k miles and some minor issues and not AMG, I might get angry at myself for not holding out longer. Such a beautiful example of a v-12 version.
Wow that is pretty and in great shape with such low mileage. Mine is a 2004 with 88k miles in the exact same color sceme. I will say parts are getting harding and harder to come by. But I am very tempted to pick up a second one. It is crazy how cheap these have been going for but it is a bit understandable if there are any hydrolic suspension issues that can easly creep up and cost more than the car is worth and is scares people from them as they can become a money pit. There are also known issues with the door wiring that happens with age and the wires being flexed due to the double hinge. But they really should be driven daily. I do love mine and do drive it daily. My plans in case the suspension goes is to do a coil over swap and just keep driving it. These are too beautiful of a car and too fun to drive than to just have them rot away in a garage or end up in the scrap heap. Best of luck on the sale!
It is a shame this is an automatic. A 5 speed manual transmission would really wake this car up to its full potential. But that is just me.
It sure would be nice to see some pics of the under carriage since north east climates are notorious for sever rust.
