So after a year of sensible, economic driving, ive decided the Bimmer onezie wasn't for me and it didn't really do anything for me either. With my work being almost 100% based at my new office at home, I have only done 7k in the last 13 months, so I think I can just about justify something a bit thirstier than the BMW.
I've wanted a CL for about 5 years, its always been my favourite Benz and one of my favourite cars full stop, and now im in the position where I can afford to runs and maintain one, it only seemed right to start looking into it a bit more.
After a few weeks of trawling I finally found an example that seemed to tick all the boxes, luckily enough from the same dealer I bought my old E320 CDi from!
So here it is, a 2003 (facelift model) W215 CL500 5.0 V8 with a list of extras as long as my arm including double glazing, extended leather dash, rear roller blind, self levelling suspension, full wood pack, keyless go and a whole load of other things i've not even discovered yet! it also has below average miles which is quite rare for these cars, so thats a bonus too along with the full stamped service book!
Here's a few shots of it after I took collection of it this afternoon:
Not really got much planned for it yet, just getting used to it to be honest but I want to sort out the AV in it so get a Video in sorted for the Comand screen and also get the phone sorted.
Im after some new wheels but probably not for a few weeks/months and also there is a kit that will sort out the suspension that im pretty in to!
