Looking at A CLS500

I am new to the Mercedes world and looking at a CLS500. I just left the Porsche 911 world because of the lack of room for my family. Anyway, I am looking for any issues that you may have run into as far as maintenance or any years to stay away from.

Thanks, John

How about this one? He has it priced at $39,895 and is accepting offers. But I am sure he will not come down far.

The CLS500 is only a 2006 model. However, its reliability seems to be very good and should serve you well.

I have had zero issues with mine. (other than trying to find a MB dealer that will lower my car with their SDS)
