Good luck to you! Paul KiefferSeptember 17th, 2025 at 12:57pm ESTpjkieff (12) Seller 0The SBC is covered until 08/10/2031 The front air struts have been replaced.September 17th, 2025 at 11:33am EST$3,800 bid placed by @BeniciaSeptember 17th, 2025 at 10:36am ESTmcm1997 (9) 0Given the year I'm guessing it has the SBC braking system. Is it covered under the very extended warranty MB issued for the SBC? Have any of the air struts been replaced?September 16th, 2025 at 11:44pm ESTBenicia (6) 0This Car reminds me of my favorite saying "anyone can have a new car that looks new, however only a few people have the benefit of having an older car that looks new, " In this case 19 years ....a beautiful car, and I hesitate to write this as I plan to be bidding on it.....September 16th, 2025 at 3:51pm EST$3,550 bid placed by @Barnes23September 15th, 2025 at 9:52pm EST$3,300 bid placed by @AdamaldbSeptember 12th, 2025 at 2:09pm ESTpjkieff (12) Seller 1Thank You MrsMBdrvr You said it for me! I represent this car with 50 years of experience. 37 with the same original M.B. dealer. 13 years of M.B. repair on my own. Thanks Again.September 12th, 2025 at 12:31pm EST$3,050 bid placed by @SLoveSeptember 11th, 2025 at 9:16pm ESTCICBarkeep (37) 0@MrsMBdrvr It's a beautiful example with a consistent service history that looks to have been kept in exceptional condition throughout. Let's leave it at that. September 11th, 2025 at 6:19pm ESTMrsMBdrvr (1) 0@CICBarkeep ...No it hasn't. Which is why it's important to note that this one hasn't. MOST of them are in that statuts so it's rare to see this one. I think you're overthinking this. Might just be best to move on if you don't like it lol. In short, no I don't follow but we need to stop railroading the auction. @seller, pardon us for the poor etiquette! September 11th, 2025 at 4:53pm ESTCICBarkeep (37) 0@MrsMBdrvr Has this car deteriorated to the point of being buy-here pay-here flotsam? Obviously not. So why ADVERTISE that most of them have? You follow?

I just spent my morning coffee going through this listing out of basic curiosity. @blakleyleonard and the MBM team are right, most of these cars are sitting on deflated suspension somewhere. Finding a clean one is actually difficult if you want an M113 CLS...and this one is clean! @pjkieff best of luck with the auction!September 10th, 2025 at 8:25pm ESTblakleyleonard (351) 1@CICBarkeep Noted and thank you for the feedback. I will pass along the note. But yes, that is in fact the gist of the story. You just can't find clean CLS's from this generation very often.September 10th, 2025 at 7:48pm EST$250 bid placed by @AdamaldbSeptember 10th, 2025 at 4:56pm ESTCICBarkeep (37) 0@blakleyleonard Reaffirming that's what you're most likely to find when searching for a CLS isn't exactly helpful. Begs the question, why is that the case? Whoever wrote the MB Market Insights section should have left it at "Even though it feels like yesterday that these came out, they are getting incredibly hard to find in THIS condition." Were I the owner, the blather about buy-here pay-here lots and the car being at the bottom of its depreciation curve would result in the immediate cancelation of the listing. September 10th, 2025 at 2:57pm ESTblakleyleonard (351) 2@CICBarkeep That quote is not referring to this car haha. That's what most likely to find today when searching for other CLS's like this for sale. This example is quite the opposite and very clean. Hope that helps! September 8th, 2025 at 6:20pm ESTCICBarkeep (37) 0"Most have been turned to “buy here, pay here” lot flotsam with faded paint and foggy headlights and delaminating interiors with Black Ice hanging from the rear-view mirror." Think I'll pass.
