**Swaped CLS 550 For A CLS 55 (Pics)**
Here are some pics of my New 55. I found this car with 3800 miles. It belonged to an older man who said it was too much power and didnt need it. I paid 65K. The car is loaded. I loved my 550, but quite frankly it does not even come close to a 55. I am running out the door, but more pics and stories to follow.

Thanks for the compliments. Last year when I got the 550 I really wanted a 63, however a buddy of mine talked me out of it because he said the 63 was ALL motor and thus no mods available. Plus it was 25K more and I just couldnt swing it. I did find a preowned 55, but it stunk like cigar smoke and I just went with the 550. Anyway, I bought a Kleeman Supercharger for it, and the car really never ran right. I had so many issues with Kleeman. First off, the blower from kleeman does NOT fit the cls. Of course they claim it does. It fits an S class. It took 10 days just to install it. Then I had computer issues, then the belts kept breaking. It was a nightmare to say the least. I worked out a deal with Kleeman and thus sent the SC back to them for a full refund. That was the only positive thing from all of the issues I had. Two weeks ago, I was playing golf at a local course here in South Florida. I parked next to a Silver 55. Sure enough the owner, and older man, probably 60 years old says wow nice car. we have the same one. I said, ahhh no we dont. Yours is a 55 right? He said yes, it is so damn fast I am selling it. I said really? He joked and said you want to buy it? I asked how many miles does it have. He said here is the key, go drive it. I couldnt believe the LOW mileage it had. I drove the car, and asked him how much. He said, 69K. I thought to myself, hmmm that seems like a deal. Make a long story short, I told him I only had 65K. He said OK. I was shocked. I sold the 550 for 59K, and got the 55. I am extremely happy, and lucky at the same time. More pics to follow.

Did the old man who couldn't handle the power put the bling wheels on it, or those are yours?

Ofcourse..I certainly understand all of that. I was just refering to the big block motor. The 55 can be modded alot more than the 63. atleast today.

[QUOTE=LSonDubz;2497865]do they normally sell that cheap or did you get a killer deal?[/QUOTE
He could have gotten about 4-6K more. I think he just wanted out of the car. The funny thing is I never get these kinds of deals.
