Welcome to MBWorld. It's a good car with a great engine, but always a concern when you get one hitting over 100K miles. Make sure you get full service record.

2008 mercedes cls63
I think those pictures are hiding a sundamaged paint job, You can see the fading on the bumper and the spoiler. I had an E55 before my cls63, and it was awesome.
Just remember the cost of entry is not indicative of the cost of ownership....

Sorry OP but this car is a mess!the paintjob lost it shine & beauty.the interior on the other hand, got some wear and tear problems specially the alcantara bits and with all this;its just 97k miles!!!!!!

I just don't get it

Why cars in US and canada are veeery low mileage????
You guys are highway driving all the time that means lots of miles but when you see the cars for sale they all have unbelievably low mileage for example this car is 10 years
old and yet it didn't hit the 100k!!!!that means about 10k miles in each year!!!!!!How's that even possible. Here in dubai we are city driving all the time and with all that, you can't find a used 2015 car with lower that 50000 KMs on it.
Its really confusing for me and Im really curious about this and would appreciate a little explanation from you guys in the states about how it works. Thanks

10k miles/ year isn't uncommon. Could be a weekend car also with a different daily. People could also car/vanpool to work, reducing mileage.

The paint looks bad, Interior so so. 70,000 miles is on the plus side. If you can get it down to $17k.... It's on the high side of worth it.

Bud if you near to it, go see and drive it for yourself! You will know then if it's worth it or not.

Interior is on flat flat and what's that! I hate light interiors for that reason. I agree C32Owner, go see that in person. 90K miles is quite a bit, I would look for lower mileage cars.
