CLS55 AMG

Anyone got one or had one. Am thinking of jumping into one having sold my 996 C4S. Good idea or bad? Car looks good value for an 18month old £75k+ car for below £50k. Are there any horror stories to be aware of? Cheers Lee

I am not sure they offer comparible value to the e55 which is based on same running gear and engine, but is available for 20k-25k less (i.e current shape at £25-£30K)

Benno I dont know where you are finding 05plate E55's with sub 15k miles on for £25-£30k but would be willing to have a look at one. A search on Autotrader puts em all at c£40k. Looks like I have sealed a deal on a cracker, fully loaded and I mean every option 05/05 1 owner 13k miles was £84k new for under £50k. Cant wait to hear that V8 roar.....

take a look at the mercedes web site - there is a black 20k miler for £30k or a silver 53 plate for £32k

its the same car underneath and i think the E is possibly better looking
