Hi all,
I was looking at 320CDI, but didn´t find car with good condition and features so I decided I´ll go for 500. I´ve never driven this version.
I have really a plenty of questions, I´d be grateful if I´ll get advices.
Considering two cars around here. The first is 2004 225kW 280k km(no service book, but better features-navi, TV, massaging dynamic seats, etc.) for 8500eur.
The second is 2007 285kW LPG 390k km(full service history but with less features and a bit teared passenger seat) for 6500eur.
Which one would you go for? Newer and cheaper car with more powerful engine and LPG or older 225kW without history, but great condition and better features?
My other questions are:
We have usually snow here all winter, is CLS 500 with good winter tires ok in winter, or it´s too powerful to be good in snow?
Can I just buy the navigation system unit elsewhere and just install it in the 2007 CLS instead of CD radio? Or it needs some installation in MB service?
Are dynamic massaging seats worth it, or heated and ventilated seats in 2007 car are good enough?
Possible to repair the damaged seat(pic enclosed)?
Is really newer 285kW version better than 225kW in terms of performance, fuel consumption?
I´d like to improve sound(sport air filters, straight exhaust pipe or gutted silencers), will LPG work properly with these changes?
Thanks a lot for advices!
