I'm looking to sell my 2010 Flint Grey, black leather CL500 in the next couple of weeks so thought I'd pop up a post and gauge interest.
I spent 5 months searching for the right one and have owned it since Nov 2015. In that time it has never let me down - annoying really as I have a very comprehensive Warranty Direct warranty on it (transferable and expires Jan 2018), but it gave me peace of mind. It did have a ball joint changed under the warranty about a year or so ago though, but aside from that it's very much been the best Merc I've owned.
I've had most of the AMGs (SL55, CL55, CLS55, C32) as well as a W215 Cl500 and even a 190E in my day.
Spec on this car is night vision, rear camera, heated and vented seats, full leather garage door/electric gates/work barrier opener in the rear view mirror and pretty much all the other goodies you'd get with a top spec CL including Blind Spot Assist, Distronic and Brake Assist. AMG kit from factory of course, including the 19's with matching Pirellis all round with plenty of tread.
No pics at the mo as I'm having the wheels fully stripped and powder coated on Wednesday and a small dent will also be sorted before it gets fully put up for sale.
Last service was Jan from memory and of course there will be a full MOT. All services are MB dealer or MB Wirral. Mileage is approx. 80,000 from memory.
Faults - only one, but in the interest of full transparency, the heated seat on the driver's side doesn't work. All lights light up but no heat comes through. The seat covers and heated pads were replaced by Merc under warranty 6 months before I bought the car, but I've subsequently had it on a Star machine and they advise it's the control module. They're £300ish new or come up on eBay from time to time for very little money. I've just not been fussed enough to get it fixed. Absolutely no other faults at all that I am aware of. If there were I would tell you and the vented seats work great.
As this is an enthusiasts' site I'd rather see if anyone's interested, before opening up to the great unwashed in t'internet land. I know there are people looking for W216 CL's and this is a really beautiful example. I'm looking for £18k and would consider an E220 CDI in P/Ex (wife has a new job).
I've not been on much in the last couple of years as there have been pretty much no problems to post about.
Please PM me if interested !
Cheers
