W219 CLS63 AMG or W218 CLS550 4Matic?
Hi guys,
So long story short, I ordered a 2010 CLS63 from Carmax and it’s due to arrive in a few days (40k miles, good condition). I’d need to get either a winter set of wheels or all seasons put on it as I live in Chicago and the car comes from California with summer tires. I have a very short commute, but just to be safe.
However I just saw a 2014 CLS550 come up at Carmax for only a couple of thousand more and damn, it looks good. It’s a 4matic too, which would make life a little bit simpler.
Basically both would be bought with the maxcare warranty for five years, which would hopefully give close to worry free motoring and both would be within a thousand or two dollars all in with the warranty.
So I guess the question is, is the previous generation AMG worth the same as a newer generation 550 if they both had a five year warranty and given the 2wd / 4wd. Which would you choose and why?
Thanks!!
