Looks like there is a lot of room to negotiate.

Also, unless they dial back the warranty for the new owner, a super AND turbocharged Volvo is not something I'd wanna own once warranty has expired.
Maybe that's why it's discounted so steeply from sticker?

According to VMR Canada, a loaded 2017 V60 with the mileage under 7500kms is only worth 37k retail.
So unless they are willing to take another 25-30k off the asking price, it's a terrible deal.

Generally considered a faux pas to post your own car in this thread.

There’s a classified section on the forums. Good luck with the sale

If you're gonna post your own car, it better be a crazy good deal, like black book value good.

and your ask is 12-17k over black book...

Well at least if your classless enough to post your own car here people can shit all over it. Like back in the day when everyone used to shit on people's ads in the classified section. Was a lot more fun back then.

I think that's fair, if you post your own car. You have to be able to take everyones criticism on your ad

Yep, did the same mistake first time))

There must be a back story to this, it has been listed up a few times, previous sellers only had it for a few months then flipped, previously wanted to trade for a truck.

I always have a thing for the first gen of CLS55/63. How reliable is that thing assuming a low millage (~50k) and fair condition? Is it a nightmare to keep for 3 or 4 years given that low of millage?

vitaminG 09-25-2018 03:17 PM

^ head bolt issues, air suspension issues, probably a bunch more little shit too

Both 55 and 63 suffer from some slight rear subframe issue.

Air suspension can be replaced with reman Arnott units which have lifetime warranty

55 is the more reliable engine - 63 suffers from head bolt and cam bucket issue

You're looking at trade-in lol, that's pointless. Average asking price is $26k and that's for the average CLS 63 with 100k on it, not 50k.

I've had my E55 nearly 4 years now and it's basically the same as a CLS55. It's been great, no major issues, and it has not been expensive to maintain. Bought with 58k kms and now at 98k. It's a great car to own if you can do some of the work yourself, you will save big bucks. Buying with low mileage helps.

Here's a part of my member journal:

The maintenance & repairs I have performed since I acquired the car (October 2014, 58,500km) includes:
December 2014 - oil change, air filters, transmission service, and valve cover gaskets (63,636km)
January 2016 - oil change, transmission electrical connector flange replaced (74,140km)
May 2016 - front ball joints & control arms replaced
June 2016 - front brake pads & rotors replaced
January 2017 - oil change (85,151km)
August 2017 - secondary air pump & relay replaced
May 2018 - alarm siren unit replaced
June 2018 - oil change (93,590 km)
July 2018 - transmission service (94,700km)
Sept 2018 - new tires (98,010km)

The 63 cars are good too, once the headbolts and or cam wear is sorted, they are solid cars.

vitaminG 09-25-2018 06:21 PM

^ Any tranny issues with the 7 speed? You know what local shops would charge to do the head bolts and cam buckets?

My point was that if you're going to post your own car in this thread, it has to actually be a great deal. Somewhere between black book and 'average asking'

While not bad, the typical barrier to entry for a lot of people is the fact that when you take the car to mercedes for anything that can't be performed yourself the service quickly balloons to multi thousand dollar issues.

I mean hell I have a CLA250, which only gets driven about 5 to 6k a year, and I'm spending right around 1000 dollars a year (averaged across 3 years of ownership) on maintenance alone (and that's in the warranty period). The car has 42k km on it.

Meanwhile you look at vehicles like my FX, and at ~206k km, and in that 206k of ownership I have replaced the battery twice, and just did the 2 rear bearings, and it needs new tie rod ends up front.

Granted I have replaced countless other things on the car for vanity which may or may not have eliminated maintenance issues that might have cropped up. But after 200000km, I'd estimate besides fluids and wear items, the cars total lifetime maintenance is under $1000.

My old work truck driven 115k km in ~2 years I never did anything aside from fluids and brakes. That includes driving FSR's constantly, logging and mining roads, and roads all over BC and AB.

The reality is, you're simply not going to be able to do that with the mercedes cars from that era. Period.

So yeah, spending 30+k on that CLS is not only not a good buy. It's probably a nightmare waiting to happen for anyone who really wants to drive the thing and doesn't have a few thousand atleast saved to put towards potential issues.

I think that's a fake ad for the GT500. No pictures with BC plates, no phone number, the VIn number is invalid and the pics of the car are taken from a local dealer (interior pics of a GT500SVT they're selling) and from this site (exterior pics) 2012 ford Mustang Shelby Gt500 Beautiful ford Mustang Shelby Gt500 Specs 2009 2010 2011 2012 - Car News and Accessories

@meme405
Is the CLA250 fun to drive at least?

68style 09-26-2018 11:44 AM

CLA250 is an expensive piece of crap and it drives exactly as you'd expect... tracks well but wheezy engine and almost unusable back seat if anyone is over 5''8" due to curvature of the roof. I cannot think why anyone would buy that car unless they absolutely had to have a Mercedes key in their pocket.
