Hello fellow members. I been looking for a specific CLS550 Sport for a while and finally found the right one. Today I got it delivered and I couldn't be happier. It's white with tan interior. All the options that I wanted, Distronic, keyless and air cooled seats. The car is immaculate. Not a single sign of wear, no paint work done to it and the wheels don't have a single road rash.

Did you swap the wheels and grill? The ride looks sick, nice choice.

tasho3

Thank you. The wheels came with the car. I plan on putting some more risky wheels and probably 20's. The car has Distronic, so the grill is factory. Thanks again. I love it so far.

Mercedes made a single fin distronic grill in 08? Is that metal or plastic mesh around the star?

tasho3

I thought it was OE, it seems like it. Don't really know when single fin was available. I think is plastic mesh.

Nice & congratulations. That White is to kill for ...

tasho3

thank you. I wouldn't buy it in any other color.

what did you do with the SLK 55 and what did you originally pay for it (slk55) ? why did you get rid of it ?

tasho3

I traded it in for the CLS. It was a very fun car and I loved it for the summer. But I used it as a daily and it was VERY uncomfortable and impractical. The car is up for sale now at the place I work at, and for that reason I can not disclose any pricing on it.

Nice car. Good luck with it.
I am selling mine if you hear anyone looking for an ultra clean Black/Black CLS.

Bought an 08 550 from your dealership two weeks ago! Black on black with Mandrus wheels.

Congrats, I was actually going to buy that one myself but the wifey didn't like the wheels or the color combo.

catalyst06

Wheels aren't my style, but those are easy to switch out. I love this car!

tasho3

Yes. I'll sell you my wheels

Btw. Who was your sales person?

catalyst06

I may hit you up for those wheels this summer. I'll have to ask the wife the salesperson's name-she did all the heavy lifting since it was a surprise for me. I thought we were flying to Chicago for her job lol. He was a small guy, maybe 5-4, 120 lbs. Had to snag floor mats and the trunk mat from another car-I wish they were in better shape like the rest of the car, that's my only complaint. You guys had some ridiculous cars at the dealership though. Must be fun working there.

Very nice! Love it! I would love to have found that color. Harder to find in the Previously Owned market.

tasho3

Thank you. And yes it was very hard to find, specially in as clean condition as this is. Not a single sign of wear in and out. Even the wheels are like brand new. All services done ahead of time and Distronic. I live it so far, just wish it didn't feel so heavy.

you have distrionic on your CLS…cause that grill is from ebay ..

tasho3

yes it does. Look in this pic next to the gear leaver. So since the grille is not factory, does that mean I can swap it out and keep the distronic star? I don't like the single fin at all! Don't think it goes well with the front of the car.

95viper

You will probably find someone to swap you grills even up. The star swaps between them.

tasho3

sweet. I wanna get the 2 or 3 slat. I think it fits this car much better.
