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?

A Prius because I'm green
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.

Thats funny, the member that bought my black one just bought e55ballers car, so he called me to sell me mine back. I think im gonna do it. I miss it but I feel like I am going backwards.

CLS55 & CL CK60
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?
