FABULOUS MERCEDES-BENZ CLS550 SEDAN AMG SPORT ED. UPGRADES CLS63 CLS55-PRISTINE

Up for sale is a beautiful Mercedes Benz CLS 550. The car is bathed in a beautiful pearlescent white with a glove-tan interior.

I’ve owned a lot of luxury and sports cars-everything from Range Rovers, orsches, o Audis, MWs, nd other Mercedes. Let me tell you why I have LOVED this car the most. Read on to see why.

There are a lot of other cars you COULD buy if you are looking for sportiness and luxury and pure sexy curb appeal—but THIS car—this VERY CAR is the one you WANT to BUY because of the perfect blend of feeling both PAMPERED and POWERFUL. For Mercedes, have found that the E-Class is too bland, he C-Class is too entry-level and too ‘everywhere’, nd the S-Class is too large and bulky and feels too much like a yacht to be a daily-driver. Only the CLS is amazing at being able to feel like you are being indulged while also being agile and adept at navigating through traffic, mall spaces, nd urban environments. The CLS550 is better than its AMG counterpart because of the optionality you’re granted. If you want to have a supremely comfortable ride, imply select ‘Comfort’ and the air-ride suspension raises and softens so everything is simply smooth. If you select ‘Sport’ the car lowers an additional inch and a half below the stock air-ride settings, tiffens in the corners, nd jettisons you down the road. If you’re thinking you’re better off with the CLS63, ead below, ecause the CLS550 has more than enough power, nd you can get the same performance from the CLS550 by doing a simple that is 1/30th the cost of what AMG would charge you. Yes—you read that right, /30th the cost…

What’s it like inside?

A wonderful blend at being spacious but having everything within reach… I know why others categorize this car a 4-door coupe. While the engine and chassis provides the sportiness and agility, he interior is the pinnacle of luxury. One of the reasons why this interior is a perfect color combination where the leather is tan enough to conceal any wear or tear or dirt and smudges—unlike the lighter tan leather color combinations of other Mercedes automobiles, ithout being too dark to hold in any heat or reveal dust. It has a motorized sunshade in the rear window, s well as tinted windows all around to keep the interior temperature cool and the leather and trim pristine. I was surprised to have the driver’s seat have built-in MASSAGERS! Yes. That’s right. Air conditioning runs through the leather seats to keep you cool and comfortable everywhere! While I’m driving, he Air Conditioner is running a gentle cool breeze along my back to keep it from getting hot or muggy, ll while the motorized seat is hugging me to keep my from sliding in my seat around the corners. Pure luxury. And when it’s evening, he ambient interior lights can change to the color of your choice.

How does it look?

The CLS is at once a combination of familiar and unknown. Instead of feeling like you are stuck with a land-yacht and Titanic-scale size of a typical luxury sedan, r being stuck with a sports car and the impracticality of not carrying as many friends or family, ou have the best of both worlds. A pair of strakes flanks the front air intake with the performance-Star in the center of the grille. The grille's look is reminiscent of the SLS AMG supercar that is at the pinnacle of modern Mercedes-Benz performance. New LED running lights, nd taillights complete the high-tech transformation. It’s a blend of class with a touch of exotic. The lines are sinuous and sexy and I’ve gotten a number of compliments.

The CLS550 starts with standard M-B flair inside. A three-spoke steering wheel takes the tiller position with choice wood accents and a standard stem-on-the-stalk gear selector. Matching wood trim carries the theme throughout the rest of the cabin. A pair of cup holders populates the center console.

Does it throw down?
Can we get ahell yeah?The CLS550 and its 4.6 twin-turbocharged direct injection V8 is no wallflower by any stretch. Producing 402 horsepower and 443 lb-ft. of torque, ith all of that coming on at 1,800 rpm and holding steady up to 4,750 rpm, ou end up with an impressively flat power band. The EPA says to look for 18 city and 26 highway mpg. That's pretty impressive for a twin-turbo V8. Gets the same mpg as the 2011 C300! Zero to 60 happens in 5.1 seconds, hich is impressive for a 4,158 lbs. vehicle. Look for a 130 mph top end—but read on if you want the speed limiter to be bumped up to 200 mph…

AMG WHO?

I looked into the AMG-version of this car first, he CLS63, ut I chose the CLS550. Why would I do that? Well, ere’s why this is better… You have OPTIONS! Instead of being stuck with only the sports-car mileage of an AMG—you are given the choice of whether you want to sip from the gas tank, r really feel like you’re in a shuttle taking off. Just push the button and select Economy or Sport or Comfort. Selecting ‘Economy’ gets you amazing gas mileage! But remember that you’re already starting with a bi-turbo V8 that has eco-mode and you have a platform for supreme power in a sexy car. Why pay an additional $30,000 where you can simply do a $800 ECU upgrade, dding 100+ Horsepower and 110 lb-ft torque from the already thunderous stock 402 HP and 443 lb-ft./Torque to a jaw-dropping 515 HP and 560 lb-ft/Torque… ANd you can have other very minor adjustments that give you even more power.

Dollar-for-dollar, his is the supreme leader in luxury, portiness and sexiness. An amazing car for any owner.

Lastly, et me discuss the ‘Salvage’ title of the car. As far as I have seen or experienced, his car is pristine. Nothing—and I mean nothing—has any kind of disturbance. After going over the vehicle history, ondition and odd circumstances that allowed for this car to be titled ‘Salvage’ I was confident and comfortable that I wasn’t going to experience any surprises when I purchased the car from the previous title-holder--The person that bought the car previously was a European auto mechanic and he noticed that the spark plug cables had simply been disconnected. He said he’d seen scams like that before so people could get out of their car payments. Feel free to have every test and inspection done on the car. I did, nd you’ll find what I found.
