Elegant, new insanely pricey, and with a look and feel that you need to keep. Personally, I am a fan of this generation of S-class Coupé when it was still a CL-class by the life.

This cars buy you, except for the outside world, especially for yourself. People or luggage despite the large dimensions not necessarily his strongest side. Driver and passenger the ultimate “Zwitserleven feeling” is. The CL-class is a car that two people are spoiled, with all the luxury you can think of. Even now, a CL of the things you “normal” cars in vain to will questions.
If you have to, in 2003, the CL a facelift and the corrosion prevention improved, there came a navigation system with DVD’s works, and was the CL light bijgepunt.

Offer used cars
Despite the astronomical price of new, there are still some thirty CL-and of this generation to purchase. The prices vary a lot: you can succeed for 5 mille or thirty mille publishing.

Pros

• Everyone thinks that you have won a lottery.
• Whether your business has been sold.
• Elegant, comfortable and fast.

Issues

• Rust! Or actually corrosion, because in the CL is much use made of aluminum and plastic. The places where corrosion can occur include: wheel wells, bottom half of the doors, C-pillars and around the open roof.
• Problems with the hydraulic suspension system ABC. The best thing to do is by a Mercedes dealer/ specialist a so-called rodeotest. Belongs not to the possibilities, pay attention (of course) on any error messages, but also on other signs:
  • Drop suspension after a few days, that may take several weeks to happen.
  • Buzzing noise under 2000 rpm.
  • Restless veergedrag on, for example, thresholds.
  • And check what is there already to maintenance of the ABC system is done.

• Sidelights can delaminate.
• Check all electronics on a correct operation.
• The cable that the door leads would sometimes break. Opening the door drops the glass and it may be the case that the operation of the seat no longer works.
