Time to move on...getting rid of the CLS

This is a fully loaded (less CF brakes) matte grey 2012 CLS with about 30K miles. Would much rather sell to an enthusiast than return to the dealer. Lays down over 700WHP. If you are interested PM me....too lazy to post all of the details and pics. I'm JAMG63 on Instagram if you want to see many pictures of the car. Let me know......end of an era....I really love this car.

Good luck, Just wondering how you can return to dealer with 700rwhp and they can sell?

Everything on the car can and will be removed. Its all "bolt ons" and can be returned to stock no problem. Still might even keep it. Also - Last year I bought a 2012 C63 to convert to a full time track car and bought it as a certified MB. Then we found aftermarket coil overs and the resonator welded back on...lol. Whatever happens happens but honestly if someone wants it for the dealer buy back price I'll just hand them the keys and they walk away with one of the fastest CLS around in a very rare color. Bonus too - I just put on Michelin SS...prob don't even have 500 miles on them...lol.

Gotcha, yeah who knows if the dealer would even know if the car had(non tuned)aftermarket parts.. That's a nice car, good luck if you sell.

Good luck with sale. I was thinking of trading mine for a Jaguar F type but I puked at the trade in pricing giving to me by 2 dealers (86K, obviously with car being put back to stock).
My car is about the same as yours.
yes his car and mine are Designo Alanite.

So far, everyone I've questioned about Magno Alanite says it was easy to care for, didn't show fingerprints, and always looked awesome. That's what I plan on ordering in a 2015 CLS63.

Correct. It is very easy to take care off. You can't go wrong with any MB matte paint.

I have the Magno Alanite Grey on my CLS 550 ... Does not show dirt or anything. However, someone keyed it when only two weeks old ... Had to repaint the rear passenger door to fix it. No touch up possible ... But I love the paint and the color!
