Sold the E350 Coupe first day I advertised it :)

So, after seeking help from forum members; secured this little beauty !

One owner, 20k miles, full main dealer history, premium pluss spec and very shiny :)

I guess I should report myself to the "Inappropriate badge thread"? but an appointment with a hair-dryer and a bit of fishing line is booked for tomorrow.

Very, very nice. Does Mrs Dry Run like it which was, if I recall, the reason for the change in the first place?

That is just beautiful, I do love the modern CLS. What colour is that ? The interior is lovely :) I know you will enjoy that :)

Lovely colour one of my favourites!

I’ve just done some work on the 20in turbine alloys on my son’s car and found out the diamond cut element is lacquer on top of a base coat so quite difficult to touch up (I thought the lacquer was straight onto alloy). They seem very prone to stone damage his were quite a mess not helped by the local car wash brigade using aggressive wheel cleaner - keeping them well waxed should help.

Enjoy the car they are quite rare in that colour!

She loved the colour combination and funnily enough the question of access simply disappeared

I believe it's Cavansite Blue. The interior is on the build sheet as beige??? But it looks like cream to me.

Lovely looking and I really applaud the light (inviting) interior.

Just remind me how to do that BC as it's not immediately obvious.

Lovely colour, but then I am a bit biased with my Cavansite Blue E350 Coupe

Looks very nice, any particular reason moving from an E class to a CLS?

Only that the E Class was 8 years old, so needed to sell it while everything still worked and it was still worth some money. Really loved the car but buying another E Class that was basically the same as I had, but newer didn't excite me.

I'd always like the CLS and when this one came up at the right price/spec/colour combo/etc. I thought why not. Plus Mrs Dry Run was complaining about getting in and out of the E Coupe, but finds the CLS easier (shorter doors maybe).
