#33 of 38 My leasing experience by rhansen1 Apr 07, 2009 (8:14 am)
Replying to: bmlexus (Apr 02, 2009 8:07 pm) Just leased a 2009 CLS550 with AMG style package, prem package and parktronic. 83K+ msrp, 7k discount, 39 mo 12k miles for $1,084/mo (inc. 9.25% sales tax) and $6K down.   Tried a BMW 550i that was loaded loaded and they wanted $5K down and $1,169/mo but the car was a dealer demo and had almost 3K miles. Also looked at a lexus GS350. They were talking $900+/mo with $1,500 down for a vehicle with msrp in the low $50k.   The MBZ was so much better looking, couldn't pass it up.

Replying to: bmlexus (Oct 02, 2008 3:00 am) Congrats, I just bought my first Mercedes Mar 28. 09. I live in north of Chicago and I was looking for an CLS 550 2008 with the Keyless go and all the other toys . I was working with a few dealerships close by but none were too be found. I went on the internet and found one in Annapolis Maryland, they made me a deal I couldn't turn down. My wife and I flew out there, they picked us up from the airport and treated us very very well. I guess when you buy a car like that it's to be expected We drive it home the next day, which the drive back in the CLS550 was wonderful. Good luck on ours. -Bob
#35 of 38 Rear lid spoiler or not? by marcosi Aug 04, 2009 (5:40 am)
I just acquired a 2007 CLS 550 (Silver iridium) and am thinking about adding a rear trunk lid spoiler in the OEM style (a slender lip). Curious what other owners think about adding that styling element. I suppose there is some aerodynamic functionality as well but guessing that is extremely minor.

two thumbs down, can't believe you would even consider it Replies to this message: marcosi (Aug 10, 2009 5:31 pm)
#37 of 38 Dedicated CLS Owner by clsclass Aug 10, 2009 (10:50 am)
I own a 2007 CLS 63. After 3 years of ownership, this is the best car I've ever owned. In fact, I just put a deposit down to order a 2010 CLS 63. Hoping it will be here in November. The AMG version of this car is just awesome, but the normal 550 is no slouch either. Regarding reliablility, I have had no problems, other than a few bent rims from the severe pothole problem in the Milwaukee area. Everything else was normal maintenance. Admittedly, this is a bit expensive, but not unexpected for a $100K+ vehicle and with synthetic oil, its only once a year. I would recommend to anyone who considers this vehicle to "flip" the summer performance tires that come on the vehicle for dedicated winter tires if you live in colder climate and get any snowfall. There are lots of great winter tires that give up little in performance but that allow the car to be driven in inclement weather. The combination of a different compound and special tread design on winter tires make the car very drivable in winter. I have never been stuck or even come close. My experience may be helped by the fact that I have a trendous dealer here in Milwaukee. My son lives in Chicago, owns a CLS 500 and has had miserable experience at two different dealers. Glad to answer any questions of anyone who is seriously considering this car.

Replying to: schlute (Aug 04, 2009 2:51 pm) OK, that would be a "no". Anyone else have an opinion?
