CL500
Newbie Here with questions...

Gents:
Just bought a 2001 CL500 with 104K. $7600. The car is beautiful! Clean carfax, runs/drives great. Has a "B" service overdue, and check engine light is on. Also some bulb error codes. Took a chance on the codes though based on it's great condition and the price. Plan to get it into the shop but wanted to ask the group...what's your best advice for going through the car? What to focus on etc.? I do have an issue with the trunk release. Neither the interior or fob open the trunk, but it does open manually. Very excited to get into this car!
Tom

Tom, welcome to the forum!

My best advice is to keep up with the service schedule that is in your owners manual.
