WTB: 2006 CLS55

Hey guys,
i am running out of options, i really want to find a nice car for a good price. I am on the west coast so would prefer the car to be on this side of the continent. I am looking for White, Black or Silver cars. Might also consider IWC edition or other colors. Car must have keyless go, parktronic, dynamic seats, alcantara headliner, Nav... i am looking for something pretty much fully loaded, dont really care about distronic. please let me know what you have, you can email me some pics to mike.witter.83@gmail.com
thanks

car doesn't HAVE to be on west coast, but preferred.... what do you guys think about this carfax? this car had a lot of items replaced on it under warranty. does that mean that it's going to be prone to problems? or is it better because those items were already taken care of?

did the prices go up on CLS55's since last year? I was looking at buying one last year and I found two with around 50k miles and 030 packages, both were sold around $35k. Now i'm looking and cars with 40-50k miles without 030 packages are going for close to $40k... any reason for that?? did the economy recover that quickly?

No...check other areas, prices differ. For instance, GA CLS55's sell higher than Texas, CA, and some are even better equipped at lower prices. It has been almost 11 years since I bought a car in Georgia, buying them out of state and shipped/pickup has been much cheaper.

Dude..read & pay attention. I said "for instance" (an example of pricing difference).

On that CARFAX btw, I would be leery of buying a car with so many things replaced, edit...at only 41K miles? I don't think so, just my take on it.

ah ok sorry. i've been looking all over the US. ebay and autotrader listings.
as far as all the repairs go, that makes me wonder as well. why so many items replaced. the owner did say that the car has warranty still left on it until next year... but what is going to go wrong with it after the warranty expries?

Cars.com is another site... Autorader is the biggest but sometimes cars.com has different cars than autotrader.
