I have one of these. The biggest problem that you are GUARANTEED TO HAVE no matter how well the car was taken care of...No matter how many miles are on the car...No matter what the situation, YOU WILL have problems with the Airmatic Suspension System. I promise you!!!. And, it is expensive to fix. The people who no how to fix it are EXPENSIVE. And, the people who are cheap, DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, no matter what they tell you...They don't! Stay away from this car or any Mercedes with Airmatic Suspension unless you are prepared to spend thousands of dollars fixing it...OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
@@jaredgonzalez8421 You won't have Airmatic issues. The ride ofcourse won't be as soft or road adaptive as airmatic but it won't cost you as much on Maintenance compared to airmatic. Besides if the roads in your area aren't too bad it's fine.
Oh yeah, sometimes in auction, when the tires are brand new and the car isnt that clean of a car, the good looking tires sells easier lemons car. OF course this theory doesnt apply all the time, and is must of the time not true.
I sold a 2006 CLS500 after owning it for 8 yrs. I know what to look for but then on the other hand I sold it for $10k cash with almost new tires. What can you expect for $10k CDN. That would be like $7k USDs
@@AJ-nf9fz bought 3 more after that and am waiting for the 2019 CLS to become 4 years old. With an extended warranty best time to buy a CLS 4 years old. 2006 2010 2012 2014 so far. no for 2015 to 2018 because I can't get past the monitor sitting on top of dash Looks junky to me !
Tyre's thread too good to be true ? Are you serious? It's a good sign especially on 2006 car. Means the owner has spent some money as the previous set of tyres was worn out as this happens when a car is driven.
When closing the doors do not push on the glass.Use the door handles .

Very good report!
Why would you be concerned about a car having good tyres if it has high miles?? Most stupid thing ive ever heard.
in case you need new tires. also tire wear can indicate worn mechanical component. also too worn tires are dangerous to drive.
you said it was concerning that the tyres are good though...

Why did you sell it? Was it a reliable car and did you enjoy driving it. Hiw many kilometers did you drive while you owned it?
