Difficult to find CPO CLS55
Hi everyone,
Are CLS55s usually not CPOed? It's very difficult to find one that is CPOed. Makes me worry to buy a car that doesn't have warranty on it. Is it possible to still get an aftermarket warranty on it? Which do most of you get? I keep on hearing about this Chrysler waranty.
Also, what are you thoughts on purchasing a 3 owner vehicle (according the carfax that is)?
Thanks!
Regards,
Mike

Hmm, you do have a point. So let me rephrase the question. What should I do to ensure a 3-owner 50K miles car is a good car?
I can't find any information on the Chrysler warranty, I keep getting info from the actual Chrysler Company.

I have a CPO CLS55... bought it with 36k miles on it... for $45k... warranty till 2012 or 100,000 miles... whichever comes first...
MB has provided great service. They have replaced a few sensors, rear axle and transmission gaskets for a leak...

As you probably already know - CLS55's were only made for MY 06 so that doesn't help - although they did sell quite a few of them - most AMG CLS' sold in one model year I believe. I found six CPO'd around the country in all colors under 40K miles and 50K asking. - NONE had Pano though - if that was something you wanted. Found at MBUSA CPO search.

50K is more than I want to spend but I'll do the search.
I had no idea that CLSs came with pano roof, I thought that was E55s only. Don't care for the pano roof anyways, I never used the sunroof.

Look for CLS55's from MBZ dealerships.
If you really want a CPO CLS55 you are going to have to pay the MBZ dealership premium over an independent. The original warranty has a start/in service date. It comes down to when it was orignally purchased new. I know a lot of dealerships will not CPO a car if it has 50k miles or more. The thing is MBZ dealerships can bend the rules to get a deal done. When I bought my 500 a few months back the dealer had a silver CLS55 on the lot with 47k miles on it. If it were not rode hard and put away wet I would have bought it because the sales manager offered to throw in a year CPO if I bought a year. That would have given me 2 years or up to 100,000 miles. It was just too beat.
At the time there was another 55 for sale at another dealership that was loaded and had 56k miles and that MBZ dealer was offering it as a cpo car as well. Like I said, it's up to the delaership. They bend all the rules.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, the two that I'm looking at are not at a MB dealer so getting it CPOed will get difficult (if possible at all).
The thought of not having a CPO scares me. My current car has an extended warranty and it has paid for itself more than once. The car has been rock solid since once the kinks got worked out. Hope to do the same with the MB.

BTW, OCPun... I may be putting my car up for sale... it has 45k mi and about $5k in engine work, 575 rwtq; 497 rwhp. all work done by heyvon motorsports, and comes with 100,000 transferable warranty.
MB of Laguna Niguel has already performed warranty work with the upgraded engine parts, they seem to have no problem with the modding.

it's not that bad, and I'm sure you could squeeze a few bucks out of them...
i paid 46k pre-tax and bought a $3.5k extended transferable warranty... after it was all said in done... my CPO cls55 cost me about 52k OTD w/ 36,000 miles on it.
does it come with a warranty and/or is it CPO'd?
