CLS55???????????????????

Seriously, I was trying to sell my 26000 mile CLS55 and got not even a call. What so you think it is? I know they are unique looking but are they that bad? This thing is like a huge *** paper weight! Maybe its the price point. What's your guys opinion,,,,,,just an ugly car or what?

Is it the "Full Throttle" effect?

If it's white or black it's gorgeous but I always got annoyed with the prices on the few I found locally. I want one badly but not that bad. Have you offered it to M3addict he needs a CLS that he can take pictures of inside that is actually his?

Its silver, but yea, compared to a 06 E55 they run a little higher. They are listed on Autotrader for in the 50s I was trying to get @$43. It only has miles around 25000.

thx man ! black one you just sold was very nice.

personally i am not a fan of silver MBs, or silver cars in general. i do like the CLS a lot, it definitely is a love it or hate it body style.

you moved your other cars quickly so im sure you wont have trouble with this one, mileage is good too.

i havent met very many people who prefer the E or very many other designs over the CLS. Personally I think its one of the nicest cars on the road (and I loved my e55) but its a tough reseller...

I would think at 43k you should be able to sell. Price seems pretty reasonable but also depends on the options it has. I think they are one of the better looking sedans as well but I would never own one b/c it doesn't have an overly functional back seat especially compared to and E or S. Good luck with the sale man.

Thanks bigs! I know you know the values of your cars. It actually has heated/cooled/dynamic seats, keyless go, nav, pwr trunk, zenons, bose and cd changer.

You will, sold my 06 to get the C4s, loved it but missed the E, sold my 03 E to get a RS4, never found one and then looked for a 996tt. Now I want another E! My wife says I have issues!

I personally love the CLS55, I think it's one of the better looking 4 door sedans out there. I'm with Prodigy, would you be willing to trade.....JK. I'm sure you are much smarter than that !

the non-turbos are just not fast enough after an E55. rs4 is beautiful car but is also way underpowered. i remember racing a dolphin grey one back when i just got the e55 and it was stock......we did a slow roll and i put a train length on him

How did he feel after he just spent 80k on his Audi! I had no idea they were that slow.

Looks good, but too low and the wheels look too small????? Ya, my wife drives a 4.2 A6 so I imagine it is close to the same engine. Obviously they changed stuff but I wonder how much different they are?
