Hey all,
I've been tempted by an 06 cls500 AMG with 85k miles. I'm a bit worried though, because for once I want to keep a car for years. What are common things to be prepared to fix between 85-125k? Anything I should look out for?

It has the AMG package, which as far as I can see just means they wrote "AMG" all over it. Supposedly it also has some body and suspension changes, but I don't know.

Attached MB data card lists factory installed equipment, view marketing brochure here http://www.auto-brochures.com/mercedes_benz.html as a stipulation of deal see if they will obtain MB Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI) from local MB dealer for you this will give a service history of warranty/maintenance/etc. work performed by MB. Importantly, ATF should be changed every 40,000 miles/4 years (whichever comes first) so if it was not changed recently, see if they will include it in the deal. BTW, you should be posting here https://mbworld.org/forums/cls-coupe-c219-65/

Thanks! I'll definitely do that and see what I can find out.
Sorry I was posting in the wrong area. Am I able to move this into the appropriate forum?

Edit: Just opened and read through the attachment. Thanks so much for this info! It's awesome that you were able to get it and I really appreciate it.
