Exclamation Thinking of selling the wagon?

Eek, can't believe I'm even thinking about this. But I've decided (I think) to get a newer CLS AMG.

Looking for your thoughts, am I crazy?

Kbb retail is 32k. I would be asking 32k (on stock wheels)

Car has 69k miles, Melanite black, (RARE!) third row seats, BT, navi, heated and cooled seats, dynamic seats, keyless go, distronic. Does not have pano (not sure if wagons could get pano?) or park sensors.

I put a new battery in it, changed the CPS, changed the oil, and replaced a keyless go door handle. Car runs and drives flawlessly. Engine is totally stock, save the AFE air filters. Has the Renntech ELM V3 also.

I'm the third owner, had it for almost a year, put 2,500 miles on it, clean carfax, title in hand. NW car it's whole life, never left Washington state.



Give me your input, am I crazy?

Or even a 2012 550 4matic could be fun.. You have a very unique car on your hands though..

You might keep it and in year or two the CLS63 will have depreciated $32k and you can have both....

If this thought as arisen in your mind then it's just better to sell it off if you get a good deal on it. Otherwise everytime you see a new CLS63 , you'd be drooling all over for it , might be thinking of selling it again. My 2 cents

I would sell it, have you driven the new 5.4 biturbos yet? Go drive one and that will make up your mind for you

I agree, the biturbos are pretty bonkers with just a tune one them. Plus the 7 speed is at least by Mercedes standards fantastic.
