CLS should be pretty much an E class, which is used as taxis all around the world. It should be relatively reliable engine and trans wise.  |

That CLS reminds me that there used to be a white one parked on a driveway on Kingsway, just west of the Joyce intersection. It was there for many years and moss was growing on it. Then it disappeared. I was always curious what happened to it.

Carfax is on autotrader https://vhr.carfax.ca/?id=XUriqJ58se...damage-section
It was auctioned off in MTL in 2014, for some reason listed as accident repair?

A base model V60 T8 (non-Polestar) for under $60k pre-tax is a pretty decent deal, plus it qualifies for federal and provincial incentives totalling $7,000. Great sleeper wagon with 400hp on tap, decent EV-only range, and HOV access.

Then again, I don't know enough about engines if that would happen to this car

Why would you want to put a relatively weak and peaky S2K motor into a space where a block that can take 700hp just was? haha
F20C swap definitely has its place, but this is not one of them IMO

Because a peaky 4 cylinder is just as fun as a boosted 4 cylinder with a bit of turbo lag.
Looks like a K series should fit as well. can run some boost on a K and mount it north south.

Franken cossie it | You couldn’t be more wrong. Sell the motor parts on eBay etc, make a bunch of your money back and drop in the 2.3 ecoboost/6spd trans from the mustang. New tech and power in a fantastic chassis.

I feel like it'll drive like a giant wet noodle considering it's age and tech without a lot of work.
