2004 CL500
Carfax Concern???
Hi Guys,
I am looking at buying another CL500 (2004). I have a copy of the Carfax report and wanted your opinion on something.
This is a 2 owner car manufactured in 9/2003.
On the Carfax report date 6/30/2006:
Transmission Removed to Complete Repair
Computer Checked
Transmission Replaced
Alternator/Generator Replaced
Oil/Filter Change Chassis Lube
Transmission Checked
Maintenance Inspection Completed
My question is......Does this sound the the transmission went bad and was replaced? If so, should I be concerned.![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
The car seems to have been serviced on schedule since then.
Thanks for your input.

I personally would have the car thoroughly checked out by MB or a reputable indy before purchase and let that guide you to a decision. Since you already own one, you know the cost of maintenance so you don't want any surprises. I doubt you would be able to get a decent warranty with the car being this old.
