- Will be buying a CLS 500
I am currently researching the CLS to buy one imminently as some of you know. I have established that if I can go to a 2007 CLS 500 I can get the 388bhp model, but that is stretching my budget a bit too far.
The 350 has 272bhp and the 500 has 306bhp if I stick to budget and go 2005/2006 so there is not much difference - is it worth holding out for the 2007+ CLS 500? sticking to budget with a 205/2006 CLS 500 or start looking at the CLS350.
I know the gearbox seems to have some issues on earlier cars and I was drawn initially to the styling of the CLS, so perhaps I should just look out for a nice CLS350?
What do you guys reckon? I am looking to spend up to about £12k ideally.
Cheers
Charlie
