PM for pics, thanks

Seems like a great deal at $1180/month.

I was looking at past pictures and came across this:



Is everything back to normal? I assume that this will not be an issue for the person that acquires the lease.

i guess parktronic wasnt working...

Link to thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/w219/4366...-bay-area.html

Never intended to hide anything or I'd have requested for that thread to be deleted/edited.

Anyways that was back when I first got the car in Feb. 2012. Searched around for the best shop possible in the Bay Area (you can see in the thread that I was meticulous in choosing the shop for repairs) and car stayed in shop for about a month (they had to wait for the door to be shipped from Germany)

Everything was replaced rather than repaired as I recall the wheel alone was about 3K (went through insurance and total bill came to 8-9K. I should still have the paperwork somewhere. I can scan \ potential takers a copy upon request)

And yes, the deal is excellent mainly because I put 10K down during drive-off. MF and residual were also solid....

Do PM if anyone has interest in the car. I also have a C250 Coupe for $280 month if anyone is interested in taking over that lease (It is very heavily optioned and is stickered at 48K so I will be looking for some money back on that deal)

I am planning to get some new toys but the old got to go first....

just please don't buy M5

Yeah and whatever car you end up getting, definitely don't lower it.

Rhetoric

I sure hope rest of the amg community is just as friendly

hyperion667

yeah, haha, very funny........don't lower it because one guy didn't lower his car? so funny.........
what friggin difference it makes to an internet forum customer that does not even drive a Mercedes anymore I will not understand any time in the immediate future, but whatever makes you feel macho I guess

hyperion667

was only making joke because of so many others on the forum selling they're CLS.....
what will you be considering after the sale?

Rhetoric

oh ya, I have noticed quite a few such threads lately....hopefully its more of a coincidence than anything else...

I mean...I think the W218 is a great machine...just that after almost two years, it can get a little boring.

I am a little perplexed on what I want next actually...I haveput down a deposit for the 2014 r8 v8 but I am already having second thoughts....for some reason the 'omg wow' factor wore off rather quickly as I get more acquainted with the car....

Also looking at the 991 (amazing 24 months lease deal. 0 drive-off, 950 a month tax included.) but I am not much of a Porsche guy tbh...

I love the Gran Turismo MC but it is an outgoing model and I don't really want to be stuck with an obsolete model after a year or so...

Vantage doesn't quite do it for me either...maybe because its just too small.

What I do know I want though is a Tesla after getting rid of the c250....haha just want to jump on that fad

hyperion667

lots of choices; too many in fact hehe, not much you can get that had/has as much stock power as our cls.......did you drive it too much? I drive mine 1-2 days a week, seems to be a good way to enjoy it more: for me...
I'm not exactly nuts about Porsche either, I do enjoy driving my TT, but it does not thrill me like the cls...
I can't even really think of what else I'd get right now.......that I can afford anyway haha

Rhetoric

I don't tend to drive it often nowadays actually. Used to be my daily for a while....I have put about 13K on it in a little less than 2 years

Haha, ya budget is quite the devil...I can't really seem to be find anything that gives me the thrills for 150K or less. I might consider looking into used...

Pertplus

Macho? Don't worry, I'll definitely make sure to chime in when you post pics of the HREs. That's the joy of being an Internet forum customer or whatever I am. Good luck OP on trying to sell your car....but retain your MBworld membership so you can still benefit from Jeremy's pearls of wisdom.

hyperion667

yeah, money is always an issue
there are a lot of great cars to be had....
I was on a Ferrari 308 itch for a while, and found one......but it didn't work out......looked at used Aston's.....they neither worked out......then I found the Targa, and looking back that was a really great car, fun to drive, nice to look at......but then I got the TT itch of course haha, and spent even more to get an 07 that had about 14k at the time......now it has over 18 because it's fun, but I'm ready to give it up now....
I'm currently battling the itch for the new S class, which is: yes, a very different driving experience I'd guess being the boat that it is
but with another kiddie coming soon it's a good excuse

I'll try to keep the cls as long as I can......it's paid for too which is a relief

Good deal on that the lease take over. GLWS and keep coming here, most of us are friendly .
Post pics of the new beasts. I am not a fan of the 991 other than the GT3 but I love the Panamera GTS or Turbo. Have you driven one yet?
