Former R230, W220 and W221 owner
2001 CL500 New to MB

Hey everyone Im new!

Im looking to purchase a 2000 or 2001 CL500 with about 60-70k mileage.

Ive surfed around the thread and done some research online and the only complaint Ive read so far is fuel consumption.

For the CL500 owners, what types of problems have you encountered? What things are known to go bad on this vehicle? What did it cost you to fix or service it?

Any Help would be appreciated. Im looking to be a CL owner in the bext 3 weeks!

fuel consumption is decent I think, my CL600 is getting 13mpg in city, or 14-15mpg on the weekend cruising. CL500 I think gets about 1-2Mpg more average. That's still better than my older 740il 13mpg on a V8

One word of wisdom:

BUY A CL500 w/ EXTENDED WARRANTY ON IT.
