NEW. POSSIBLE CL purchase
Looking at a 2005 CL500 Granite Gray Metallic in color. 85000 miles. Has had immaculate maintenance. Owner asking 7,000.00. Has had 2 struts and the pump replaced on the ABC. I am wondering if this is worth the purchase. I am an avid e38 BMW fan, but moving into the MB world. I have read a ton about the CL's, and I am torn. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Including tires and brakes, I have never spent more than $3k a year. I have a great mechanic and he takes awesome care of it.
By the way granite grey is a great color and doesn’t show the dirt.

The only additional thing I would say is i might think about a CL55 rather than a CL500 if you could find one in as good of condition. The reason I say that is the super charger is a blast and really transforms the car. The CL55 also usually came with all the options because it was significantly more expensive. However at this point there is not much of a price difference between the 2 cars.
