New owner w219 Cls

[PIT_DJW]

Hi
I thought I’d introduce myself, I’m Dave and live in Maidenhead Berkshire, had Mercedes’ for around 3 years now. First I had a S211 e320 cdi sport with the brabus D6 factory tuning. Needed a estate for the dog and kids etc, carried out a 7 seater retrofit, and some lowering springs and new wheels. This was just a family car as I had a m3 and few other cars for playtime.

Then came the divorce! She took the Mercedes and I had to sell everything to fund solicitors etc, kids are with me so single dad. Sob story over I needed a new motor! I liked the s211 and always liked the W219 Cls and she took the dog so didn’t need a estate anymore.
So I got a 2006 odisan black cls320 cdi with black interior and dark walnut wood, 4 owners last one 6 years who was a mechanic. Fsh and not bad shape. Deal was done, I was £960 lighter in the pocket but I had a merc again

I’m in the process in giving it some love so will do a project thread too.

Hello Dave and welcome. Glad you’re getting your life sorted and I hope getting the car sorted is far less painful.

Welcome!

I feel the pain and I’m almost a little behind with my wife’s hidden agenda having backfired on her and brought to light with authorities not falling for her concocted text book lies. Child is with me permanently and courts in progress and divorce under way.

The 219s are a nice buy and a nice drive as well as easy ish to maintain. Your not far from Star Merc specialist. Look forward to the project but I hope the car treats you well and it all starts coming back together for you.

Thanks, definitely was a bit of a wake up call but we are all happier now even though it’s not all over.
I know the w211/w219 platform and engine quite well, even changed the oil cooler seals on my w211. Unfortunately my Icarsoft v3 is still in the glove box of the w211 so will be buying another or something similar.

I have already ordered a lot of goodies for the car so it will get some love

That looks a tidy CLS. Well done.

Hi and welcome.
Nice looking car. Always had a soft spot for the CLS. Pity I need a BIG estate.
