This one is going to be hard to let go. I receive compliments on the build every single day. I've spent many enjoyable hours behind the wheel of this beast but it's time for me to let her go and move on to another platform.

First of all beautiful car, second of all as someone who has it, the Designo Classic Red interior is rare and second to NONE. The color is absolutely stunning, everyone who gets in my car has something to say about it.
Here are some additional shots of the interior. Sorry I don't have a wide angle lens. The interior is 9-9.5/10. The piano black trim has some scratches and the driver side seat bolster has very slight signs of wear but thats pretty much it. Rear seats have almost zero use time.

Thank you! You're right, everybody that has been in my car has made a comment on how gorgeous the classic red interior is. It's honestly the favorite feature of my CLS.
Still available as of 2/25/2020! It's been down for a month or so getting its engine replaced. I've updated the listing or if you want more info shoot me an email
Bent rod. Doesn't happen often in the m157... but it happens. Crazy thing is there were very little symptoms. No CEL, no misfires. Just a light ticking noise that was present on cold starts that went away(was told it was one of my turbo waste gates rattling), intermittent light smoking when accelerating from a stop(was told this was "normal" by mercedes) and oil consumption that was slightly above average. I brought my car in to star motor werks to get one of my turbos replaced due to what I thought waste gate rattle. He disagreed and ran some tests. Compression #s told the story and roughly $28k later(warranty), new engine. I have all documents and receipts for the work pertaining to the engine swap.
I've attached a picture of the damaged cylinder on the original motor that had 56k miles.
Moral of the story? Buy my CLS. This one is as perfect and worry free as it'll ever be lol
Since it has a new engine now, i think its a good deal! So the engine is new from factory i assume?
No its not a brand new engine. My warranty would not cover $75k for one 😅It's a m157 from a 2012 e63 with 28k miles. Considering most stock 2012 CLS63s with 60-80k miles are selling for ~$33k I'd say mine with ALL the goodies + warranty is a great deal.
I just bought a Weistec SL55 AMG for my collection, and would love to add this gorgeous lady too, but funds dont flow like that in my world. The weather is just breaking here down south, so you guys out West should be just behind us. Try bring a trailer too website too, I believe this vehicle will sell quick on there.
Do you have invoices for the car maintenance? Is it a clean title?
Did you see the pictures of the receipt for the motor swap i added to the original post? Besides that, i have all receipts for maintenance since i've taken ownership along with the a stack of receipts from the previous owner.
Clean CA title
With the same tune, mods, etc. why do you not expect the new(er) motor to also eventually bend a rod? All things considered.
data logs showed tune was not the culprit of the bent rod. It's uncommon but completely stock m157s bend rods too. I did however retune the ecu when the new(er) motor went in. Previous tune had burbles. New tune is all natural amg exhaust (with the help of downpipes lol)
