I have seen advertised locally a 1997 CL420 at what seems like a reasonable price. I would very much appreciate any information about performance, fuel consumption and overall driving and owning experiences.

I have failed to find anything relevant myself, so even a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

For info, it is 1997 on an 'R' plate, with 80,000 miles, and full service history.

Thanks in anticipation

0-60 in about 7 seconds.. but its the 70 - 120 thats impressive.

145 is the fastest Ive had mine (on a private road ;) )

fuel - 20 mpg @ 85 on a run, 25 taki ng it gently (65ish)

make sure everything works! esp air con (use a thermometer, not your hand)

supremely comfortable.. not that expensive to run (mine has done 170+,000 miles)

tyres dont last very long

where are you? I might be able to come along ald have a look with you if you want.

Thanks alot for the reply.

Would I be expecting to replace supension/steering parts at this sort of mileage? How about the exhaust system?

The car is located in Scotland and can be seen on the sellers website at www.avuss.com

Looks good to me on the whole!!!

Thanks again
