Well, of course you can’t compare the CLS with an E350…it’s apple and oranges…the E550 has the same motor…suspension etc…just E class just has more interior room, especially in the back. The scroll and blower motor are quite common…need to get both done for mine. ..blower motor squeak is really annoying but not expensive thankfully

Hey man , I’m looking at one here in Toronto , a 2012 with 40 ,000 miles . Have you had any concerns with the car ? Any issues with the airmatic system?

@builditben9945 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Ali, no concerns thus far. As far as the airmatic system is concerned it’s not a bad system. The rear and front struts are easy to replace if you do have an issue with them, the only down side is that the fronts are a lot more expensive then the rear ones to buy. Get a PPI if you’re not very mechanical and not sure what you are looking at.

My 2014 ML350 needed a new 2k computer at 100k miles....The gas gauge broke as well as the radar for the blind spot detection. After 100k miles you need to budget 5-15k for repairs...Better off selling around 80k-90k miles is what i learned...

@ACURACALABAR11 Жыл бұрын

So what about the people who have them after 90k miles and everything good? I find it so funny people always seem to know when a car is going to break. My friend pick up a brand new cls. 2 months in. It wouldn't start. Mercedes just found the issue. Point being said. I have own mulitple luxury cars. I maintain them. And things still go wrong. Its a machine. I have known people who treat them bad and the thing went without problems. Lol
