Ouch, 71k. why not just buy the AMG model. But l think this car is absolutely stunning. there's nothing like it on the road. wonder how good they make a replacement.

I've had my CLS 500 for three fantastic years and have covered 22,000 wonderful miles in it.

It has to be the best car i have ever owned - and that includes Porsches,BMWs,etc etc

The problem is WHAT do I replace it with ?
