    Would appreciate some help with this, looking at getting a 2007 CLS 320 CDI, less than 30,000miles on the clock. Anything too be wary off? What sort of ballpark price should I be paying?

    Any known faults/problems?

    Thanks

    I don't know anything problem-wise, but price wise...
    i saw this a few weeks ago:
    http://www.carzone.ie/search/Mercedes-Benz/CLS-Class/320-CDI-/201041199892875/advert?channel=CARS
    it should be sold according to the description, but at the time i thought that was a really good price.

    Also know someone who just traded an 07 320cdi (around 100k miles on it) for a new one and got 20,000 euros.

    Was about to buy one for around 42k last year, glad I did not :P

    Hope that helps!

    Similar car this weekend at merlin auctions it appears

    (higher mileage)
    You could pop along and see what the bidding is like/what it goes for. Would give you an idea of the floor in the market.

    One thing I will say is, its a disgrace that sat nav is near impossible to find in these in Ireland.
    I thought about getting an 07 one of these among other things. That one at alo kavanagh was well priced but seeing as it was a closing sale (auction as such) Im sure there is no warranty etc.
    With the new model CLS and 2011 not so far away, Id say a 2007 should be widely available for around 25/ 26k soon.
    By all accounts, a stunning car and nothing wrong with that merc 6 cylinder diesel either.

    The only Mercedes you're likely to find sat nav in is s-class, cl and sl's. Most people don't need them and aren't willing to shove out an extra few thousand on top of the once 100k price tag, for a decently eqipped one, for something they wont use.

    Ah but its quite common in the uk ones as usual. They dont even have a proper screen if you dont get the sat nav. Its poor really.

    Was it a CLS? Are you saying he got 20k against retail price of a new CLS? If so, that is crazy. If you mean, comparing straight deal price with trade in price resulted in 20k valuation, I would believe that.

    Totally agree, but would you really pay like 3k or whatever to see the radio channel's name more clearly? :P Maybe it's standard/cheaper in the UK

    Yes, it was a CLS and 20k is the trade in price he got against a new Merc, but they bought a cheaper model this time. 20k isn't bad for one with high mileage anyway if garages are asking 27k for ones with 20000 miles as above, the dealers do have to make SOME sort of profit on the cars..
