    His car is in a mechanical mess in that case. I've had an extended load of a CL500 before, and it was 14-18mpg around town, and motorway 27-32.

    Around the same as my 4.3 V8 lexus.

    +1

    That's around the same as the three automatic V8 petrol cars I own / have owned.

    yeah and how many people buying 8 or 9k cars, are going to give that over in one lump? is more likely they will pay by the quarter, so its 511 x 4 = a snip at E2044!!! :rolleyes:

    having driven a diesel version a few times i would reccomend you sitting in it if you're 6ft or over, i'm 6' 1" and found that there was not as much headroom as i would have liked even with the seat down as low as it would go. feck the begrudgers, if you like and want it then go for it!

    Probably the nicest looking Merc and frankly any kind of 4 door GT in many years. The latest CLS looks terrible in comparison. I would budget for suspension bushes, balljoints etc as they eat them apparently. The 350 has serious reliability problems on the chain potentially writing off the engine. The 500 v8 is a better bet as is the diesel.
    Running costs should be no more than brand new small engine Golf and I know which Id rather.

    i had one for a while too, the most incredible car, but I think mine was developing the timing chain problem towards the end of my time with it, I still miss it though.

    Have a look on backroads.ie. one guy there had that spectacular engine failure, sorry to say
