My new to me 2012 Mercedes CLS550! Join me on my journey with this amazing car as I fix a few issues and just give my own opinion about this gorgeous 4 door “coupe”!!!
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...
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
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
I just bought the same car you did and I paid 25,000 for mine but I have 120,000 on mine how did you find one was so low miles I’ve been looking all over where I’m at man congrats
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?
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.
Mine has been a daily driver for nearly a year since i bought it and that is a decision I now regret. He will understand when it gets into the 100k mi range.
@@pouremilee you sound dejected, have you had to dig into your pockets for unforeseen repairs? Not many can buy a car like this for occasional use or worry about breakdown every time you get behind the wheel. Why does this make still remain the 'average Joe's' dream car???
@@kristianlucaj9130 thanks for the replay Kristian , it says 5 sec 0-60 , I think it’s very underrated , but I don’t find any 0-60 acceleration video , I do find some videos people say it feels way faster than 5 sec , how do you feel the acceleration .

I have the 4Matic at 115k and have only had issues with plastic buttons coming off. Great car, fast as hell!
Just picked up a 2014 4matic with 64k mi for $19,500. White, fully loaded, clean title. Steallll.
Just picked up the same model as my daily driver as well. Great power and sound! Very comfortable ride!
I completely agree! Amazing power for the size of the car.
How’s it running ?
@@yunga8305 Running well! Solid and reliable car.
Still running well?
@@samirgriggs7696 Still going strong at 77k miles.
Yeh I agree it’s a good car I love mine I just hit 89k only problem is my struts needed to get replaced other than that it’s a head turner n quick
what will that cost?
@@gearheads8494 1600

Two of my favorite Mercedes automotives.

Not same platform. Figure about it
@@scottp6761 CLS is even worse because of the air suspension. Figure it out.

@@pete64041 Yeh I agree air suspension sucks when it gets aged. That's what they invent coilovers conversion

Damn, makes me jealous
If I can do it, certainly anyone can.

I found mine on CL

I’m gonna pick one up for a daily in a few months so I can park the Camaro lol
Lol 😆, I have a 2013 cls550 and it's pretty good 👍
Do you have a video fixing the nob?
Did you get the knob fixed? How did you fix it?
Not a smart daily driver.. I would use this only on occasions but suit yourself
It’s been a great daily so far but gas is getting a bit expensive

Been a daily driver for 4 years, still turning heads.
@@pouremileewhat happened to your cls?
wow rl cool
how are u feel the cls one year later any problems
Car is pretty reliable my cls550 hit 175 thousand miles and still goin strong
I’ve had it for over 2 years and haven’t had any issues. It’s a great car!
Hello whats the difference between 2014 model cls 550 and cls 550 4matic
One is AWD the other is 2WD
Is it worth it? Because I’m dying to greet me one. Black on black for 19,000. 😅
100% worth it
Do you have problems with airmatic ?
No problem
Looking for a new one with the facelift (2015-2017 model ) it’s much sexier
oh yes and with the 9spd trans you will fly bro
@@kristianlucaj9130hi Kristian , how are you . Is 9 speed faster than 7 speed ? I Thought 7 speed hold high rpm longer
@@karycooper1 6th gear 160 MPH. Gears are actually pretty long for being a 9 SPD
@@karycooper1 9 SPD is good for Digs much better 0-60 times than the 7 SPD
@@kristianlucaj9130 thanks for the replay Kristian , it says 5 sec 0-60 , I think it’s very underrated , but I don’t find any 0-60 acceleration video , I do find some videos people say it feels way faster than 5 sec , how do you feel the acceleration .
E550 better
Doesn’t look as good as the CLS
Goggle 2014 e550 4matic with a tune it’s basically a e63 and I feel like the rear end of the cls looks a little feminine for my taste
@@Unknown-hc5fe Agree with the rear but of you add spoiler and tint lights it looks better. Diffuser helps
You tune it yet?
And how is she holding up
I don’t plan on tuning it.
She’s holding up great. Zero issues with her.
@@builditben9945 how many miles now?
I’m looking into getting one as a daily, how long did you daily drive it? Did you face any issues throughout?🥲
