Hello,

I Hope all is well.

I am currently looking to purchase a CLS 350 cdi Premium Plus on 2014 plate (facelift), I would very much appreciate if any owners can give me some feedback and reviews, especially on the common faults and what to watch out for... :)


I look forward to the replies.


Thanks
runju

Thanks for that guys.

Manage to find a 350 premium plus in black :)

Just about to sign the last bit of papers but have spotted something, the gaps between the bonnet and wing has a slightly wider gap to the opposite side.
After questioning the salesman he told me sometimes the hinges move places due to opening and shutting the bonnet from one side hence why this happens and showed a few other cars that have the same issue.

Am I being paronoid or is what the salesman is telling me is correct.

Bit worried as I know this normally happens after a car has been repaired from an accident

Has anyone else had the same issue?

Thanks

I wouldn’t worry about fitments side to side, you tend to see a difference at the front over the lights and bumper if it’s been in a shunt. Mines a little off left to right, so would think the sales man is actually making sense

.... he told me sometimes the hinges move places due to opening and shutting the bonnet from one side ....

I'm not suggesting that the car has been involved in a bump, but that a bonnet will move on its hinges is Sandra Bullocks. There is often room for adjustment, but bonnets & boots won't move on their own .... you'd be able to see marks on the paint inside if they did.

I had a good look iinside with the bonnet open but couldn’t see any signs of replaces parts or colour difference, just find it strange.
Maybe I’m just being paronoid.
