I have decided to sell my CLS to fund the purchase of a 1950's Chevy V8 pickup.

So here goes!

2006, '06' CLS 320 CDI, 3l V6 diesel with 7 speed auto 'box.

Mileage has just nudged over 115k today. The car has 6 months tax, will have 12 months MOT as of this week, full main dealer service history until the last major service which I had carried out at a local high end garage using all genuine Mercedes parts. Next service due in just under 9k miles which will only require a basic oil & filter service.

2 previous owners, although I think the first owner only had the car for a month or 2, then the 2nd owner had it for roughly 5 years.

Pics show my plate on the car which is not included, I'll be heading to the DVLA office to have it put on retention, the car will be returned to the original mark of AX06 CWD before being sold.

Basic spec.

Indium grey metalic with contrasting black leather interior & polished walnut veneers

Electric, heated memory seats

Electric windows, electric & heated power fold mirrors with auto dimming

Dual climate control with rear ventilation, AC blows ice cold.

COMAND sat nav system with dvd player, aux in, 6 disc in dash cd changer & integrated bluetooth phone kit.

Electrically operated boot lid, can be opened and closed via a switch on the drivers door, or opened via the remote, then closes at the touch of a button.

Front & rear parking sensors

Cruise control with speed limiter

A whole host of airbags, ABS with brake assist, ESP etc etc.

Basically, a very well specced car in excellent all round condition.

Since buying it, I have sorted a few niggles that the car had, they were:

Drivers side exhaust manifold due to small blow in the flexi joint, I had the option to have it welded but chose to have it replaced.

Glow plug control module, (common V6 problem, this wasn't heating glow plug no.6)

Uprated starter motor as original not always disengaging, again, another common fault I have been told.

New aux. battery in the engine bay with 12 months warranty

New passenger side front window mechanism/linkage.

I also had the wheels refurbished at they had picked up some minor kerb marks, (not by me may I add)

All tyres are fine, 3 x Pirelli P-zero, rears have roughly 5mm tread remaining, o/s/f has approx. 6mm remaning, the 4th, (n/s/f) was new a few months ago due to a puncture and is a Continental with roughly 7mm remaining.

I'm after roughly £11250 for the car given it's condition, spec and amount of service history. Obviously I am open to sensible offers, but as it's listed on Pistonheads, it's the cheapest for it's year/spec so is a bargain.

Not interested in the Merc but you MUST post photos of the Chevy when you get it. 2010 3.6TDV8 Stornoway Grey/ Black interior - gone
2005 4.4V8 (M62) Bonatti Grey/ Parchment interior - gone
1998 4.6HSE Blue/ Cream interior (can't remember exact colours) - gone
1977 White - gone (should have kept)

This is the one I've seen/driven, seriously thinking about it....

It's ratty but absolutely solid, has the all important 5.7 V8 with a 4 speed auto, all the hard work has been done, just needs the interior tidied and new window and door rubbers then it'd be ready to rock! 2006 Mercedes CLS

Car is now back on it's original registration and will have 12 months MOT by the end of the week.

Notice a little PH sticker on the back.

Depending on where you are selling it maybe a good move to remove it.

Nice pick up, great project or you could leave it as is.

Truly lovely!

Listing has ended. Did you buy it? Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

AJS - PH sticker has been removed, didn't give it any thought when I took the photos. I think I want to tidy the interior up, paint the dash & doors satin black, new headlining, door panels, carpets etc, worked out around $500 in parts to transform the interior and then shipping, but my plan is, nice on the inside, then a bit ratty on the outside.

Bellini, I haven't bought it yet, I'm waiting to see if I can get the £10k together before the Merc sells to speed things up a bit otherwise I'll have to wait until the car is sold before doing the deal if the guy still has the truck. Obviously I'm keen to do a deal on the truck asap, I'm like a big kid at the minute, I'm beyond excited!  2006 Mercedes CLS

There's a few 50's American trucks running around our village. I've always liked them a lot, especially the Ford models.

Yours (I hope) looks the best of what's currently eBay-available. I love the rat-look and those wheels.

Good price, too.  Si. <This is my name.

It's one of the reasons I kept going back to it, there's something really honest about it, plus the wheels, the V8 and the auto 'box, front clip/suspension & brakes etc mean all the hard work has been done so it either needs paint and interior or just interior to make it a sorted daily driver 2006 Mercedes CLS

And bolt on a Supercharger for some very big smiles.

Just had my old Vauxhall on the rollers, 661bhp and 524bhp at the rear wheels, do love a V8.

I like the sound of that!

Car now has 12 months MOT and the V5C is now back with it's original registration. The car is now good to go  2006 Mercedes CLS
