Boring how we can all call any four-door car a coupe, today Good price or no dice It is possible that CLS only gets one pass because it is very beautiful. With its AMG V8, it should also be pretty fast, but we’ll have to decide if it has an equally fast selling price.
The biggest complaint occurred last Friday 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 Project it was not his Viper V10 engine installation was acomplete, but that had been undertaken at all. Many of you felt that launching a supercharger at the Hemi V8 factory would have proved the best option. That apparent misstep, along with a number of other issues, challenged the Challenger’s asking price of $ 23,900, resulting in a 65% drop without data.
One thing that can be said about last Friday’s Dodge is that it was a real coupe. That became clear for his two doors and a fairly sleek ceiling line. If you go outside and look around, you may notice that the two-door coupe style is no longer so popular. The blame for this should lie entirely on the tires of SUVs and Crossovers that have come to dominate vehicle sales not just here in the US, but globally. People like the higher seating positions and the greater practicality four-door hatchback body style offers more than two crisp doors. Somewhere between these two extremes are cars like the current ones 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG, which due to the details of its body design, can best be described as a four-door coupe.

Now, the C of the CLS name should not be allowed to fool you. Don’t leave it! The car is not based on the Class C platform, but on the larger Class E platform. This is good, as the larger form factor still allows for reasonable space inside under thosOverlapping body lines.
This is the final edition of the first generation CLS, the 63 AMG. This nomenclature reports that this car has in general has been massaged by Mercedes’ internal tuner, AMG, and that drags the tuner jack into the V8 mill. Interestingly, the M156 packed under the slim hood of the CLS does not move 6.3 liters, as the name of the car indicates. The 507-horsepower DOHC V8 actually only surpasses 6208 cc, but that’s why it was surpassed the insignia 63 to commemorate the Mercedes displacement revered M100 V8 of the early 60’s.
Not only impresses a hot V8. This CLS has a lot to offer, so much so that the seller states “It has everything you need”. The ad includes a long list of these attributes and options, some so important that I guess they justified it several instances of this list. For example, you will also get “Premium Wheels 19” + “ “Premium wheels,”And“ Airmatic AMG Wheels ”. Side impact airbags were guaranteed two listings. So is it, apparently do the air-conditioned seats.
The ad also includes useful information. From now on, we find that the car has a modest 91,440 miles on the clock and has a clean title. The tires have used only 10K of tread and, more recently, the car has received new brakes (assuming only pads) and a radiator. According to the announcement, Benz has been properly maintained all his life.
The car also looks pretty good for its age. Flint Gray metallic paint looks like it can be used without obvious flaws. The interior it seems to hold up too, without appreciable wear of the leather or any defect in the wood cladding. There are two air fresheners in the ventilation openings, so I bet it doesn’t smell like ass either.
One thing to keep in mind is that all the images in the ad are as dark and muddy as they are it appears to have been taken by zooming in on one of Mars’ rovers. This does not show the car in the best light and in fact could hide a real one boogers.
Whenever you set a price, it’s good to have an attractive, verifiable reference to support your position. In the case of the $ 20,500 of this CLS, the seller has included a screenshot of an Edmunds page stating that a clean form this model should be worth, reasonably, three more grains. That’s a smart thing for the seller, but to be honest, we don’t carry too much weight which Edmunds believes should be worth it. This is our job, right?
Okay, since it’s our job to judge values, we start working. What is your opinion on this definitive C219 CLS and that you are asking for $ 20,500? Seems like a fair deal to get a load of horsepower? Or, is that price this Benz breaking the bank?
You decide!
