looking at cl's

hello everyone, i was originally lookin at another s class , but im having an ich for the cl500 . i really love the shape and styling of 215 cl and want to get one but the abc issues are making me lean towards another s class. im ok with airmatic , parts are cheap from arnotts and its not complicated compared to abc at all. so my question is what do you guys think get a cl500 or stay away?

CL500 AMG
Hey

Hey m8 are Cl500 AMG is the dogs bollockkss

Sure we've payed quite a considerable amount on repairs because the old owner didn't have a full MB service history

BUT the car owwnnns every one!! One of the most comfortable rides ever plus the pulling speed from the lights BTW mine is a 2005 model and has done loads of miles!

Definitely a car that will never lose its looks (unless blown up )

I don't think you will run into any major problems. I recently picked up a CL500 and its an amazing car. One thing I would recommend though, is picking up some kind of extended warranty if you do decide to get the CL. Parts on these cars get costly.
