- CL500 09/09 (2010 my M273 Engine) Now completed 40K Palladium/Black
Hello all out there
I am still looking for a good CL500 and have recorded all cars advertised since July to date (approx. 75 not inc. cl63 etc.)
Colour Preference: Tenorite Grey, Flint Grey or Palladium Silver
Interior Preference: Sahara/Cashmere Grey/Basalt Grey Sahara/Black
Options in order of Preference:
AMG Option Package
Rear Camera
Heated/Ventilated seats
Distronic Plus Cruise
Dynamic Multi Contour Seats
DAB and Split View Screen
Nightvision
Black Ash Trim
Ambient Lighting
Fridge
Rear Blind
Missed out on one recently, due to me taking too much notice of the weather forecast and putting a fairly long journey off for 2 days. As is my usual luck the car was sold earlier on the day I had rearranged to travel. All my own fault and I will not make that mistake again. I have to accept that despite many of these cars hanging around for many months, the good value ones go reasonably quickly.
I am still keeping the spread sheet which shows Year - Mileage - Dealer - Asking Price - Revised Asking Price. This analysis definitely helps me determine cars that should interest me.
Unfortunately these are relatively few due to 55% being Obsidian Black about
30% being a version of silver (Usually Iridium) and every time I think this is the one, there it is BLACK INTERIOR.
I am hoping that I can buy one within the MB Approved system as they offer very good terms and the cars should have had all diagnostics and they have to back up warranties etc. I know that cars they are not certain of, get traded or sent to the auction block.
It also seems that on occasion their asking price is actually less than the normal dealer price.
I will keep looking and also monitor this thread. If any of you out there become aware of anything that may be of interest, it would be great for my nerdish other self to follow up.
Thanking you in advance
Michael in hope
