Buying A Broken Mercedes CLS For $2,500 Then Fixing It Cheaply 

I think the w219 is one of the most beautiful cars Mercedes made.

"The first generation cls for me is the most beautiful" That is absolutely correct!

I bought a 2010 CLS 350 and absolutely love it! Most comfortable drive ever and sport mode is great. Suspension not for sporty lovers but great for South African roads. Beautiful ebony gloss interior and facelift steering wheel.

Very cool! The original CLS is my favorite too - came out when I was in high school.

"only check engine light" ... you made my day :-D ...anyway congrats on Benz...

My 2006 CLS500 was my favourite CLS. I have and now own 4 CLSs in total. I despise the look of the new 2019/2020 CLS so I will stop buying them. Guess my next one will be a S-Class coupe ! :)

Secondary air- check fuse, check pump and see if it works once fuse is checked good. Check combi valves. They plug up in the head and will give code as well.

Great design. One of Mercedes finest.

I love this body style ..I think you got a good deal .I don't care abt the problems it came with it , the interior is great .

Great video bro..... I love the CLS, similar to you I thought they were the sexiest cars when they first launched, planning to buy one this summer, I may go for the CLS 550 tho. Good luck. Please keep us up to date.

i had one of these with the same colors from 2005-2008. Still my favorite car. None of the Mercs that followed stirred up the same emotions as this one did.

Very nice job young man. I have gotten similar deals on these due to the Airmatic issues. Thanks to the dealers' greed, we are able to pick these up for thousands less than what they should be.

What it is to live in the US and affordable petrol! Live in the Uk and used to have a 350d Grand Edition, plenty of torque and sounded very good for a diesel. Great looking car. Enjoy it.

Nice Bro! I bought my 2006 CLS500 8 months ago as well for $3,400. Red burgundy exterior with red burgundy leather interior. I had to change the front left strut for $300 but I love this car!

Best looking Benz made (just my opinion). I have an 06 as well.

Yo take a magic eraser to the steering wheel it will clean right off. Also take it to all the interior especially the back seats. Trust me I own a 2006 CLS55 AMG Kompressor

Hell yes! Basically brand new motor, 302 5.0 V8! Good find!

Bought 2007 CLS550 117kmiles for $1999 Clean title. (Needed a new hood and L headlight).

The most beautiful car in the world. I too was blown away when I first set eyes on it. Thinking of buying an 08 reg 3l V6 diesel...either way it's still now ddg.

You actually do deserve more views i really enjoy your videos

Nice video. Whoa, that is Wootton High School!!! I was like, wait..is that actually it..and went you stepped out, I see it now. Funny enough, I went there. I subscribed👍

So jealous of a deal like this. I currently have a pretty good condition 07 S550 and love it. But would like another car to drive. Something like this would be an awesome deal but my local CL is so bone dry for Mercedes it’s crazy. The 219 CLS is by far my favorite gen. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

I have the 2007 CLS awesome car most comfortable car ever driven

Hi Thanks for the info. Can you please do another vid on the latest update of your CLS

So happy for you!

You are correct, I liked it so much I played it in modified GTA San Andreas I believe. If you sand and clear headlight with professional clear coat, it won’t fog forever.

Don’t tell Scotty Kilmer haha!

It was damped because the battery was dead or it was not used in a while. One you started and drove it, it went back up. A lot of times its only electronics that overtime has hose leaks, but one ypu start driving it goes back up. But what did you did to it???

Mercedes and other luxury cars can be found used for less than $4000 in perfect condition, just because maintenance etc is more expensive. I'm excited to get a beautiful 1999 Mercedes Benz as my first car, all within my $3500 budget

Well done. I'm going to buy one too.

The best Cls shape for sure. How did you fix the airmatic cheaply

I'll never forget seeing the Cousins from Breaking Bad rolling up in a CLS.

Hey man. Congratulations. This is a beautiful car and price.

How did you black out the grill, I want to do this from my vehicle.

I have an ‘06 E500 and I think IT’S the best looking Mercedes model of all time! Of course, we’re all a little biased. I’m a little envious of the great deal he got but if I was the owner and this guy tried to talk down price because it needed tires…I’d tell him to go jump in the lake, go fly a kite. Tire replacement is normal wear and tear, maintenance and should not bring down the value of the car. By the way, I paid $7800 for my MB and after just three weeks I’ve replaced both rear airsprings with Arnott for around $440 ea although only the driver side spring was bad. Had my mechanic do the labor for $450. Took him 5 hours so $90/hr is a fair wage for a good mechanic and way less than normal shop rate of $140-$150, dealership probably $200-$250 per hour

hi Nice car. I am also looking to buy one in Norway. I got a tip that you can use Deoxit D5S-6 to clean any electronic modules, connections.

Where you get the air suspension kit at... That really common on alot of car...

Clean the leather seats then treat then with saddle soap. Buy a can of matching touch up paint with clear mixed in. And buy some small brushed. Spray it into a newspaper then dip the brush and do the tough up. If you will heat the rock chip clear protectors they come off simpler. ( air dryer ). Seat problem may be dirty electrical connectors or broke wire. Get some electrical contact cleaner and check the wires for breaks at bends. Have fun.

Were you able to program another key fob.....my cls550 only came with one key and same with my ctsv....the ctsv literally took 5 minutes to program , and I cannot figure out how to program the mercedes

Get yourself a OB2 code reader for home...secondary air pump = smog pump. Hand tools about 45 min or less to replace. Replace relay too. Front Air shocks you can buy online for as low as 300.00. Another diy job Airnott for suspension parts. Nice vid good luck!

secondary air pump ,maybe a fuse in the trunk 40a or relay

Terrific review, very detailed. I'm taking one of the same colour but custom wheels for a test drive tomorrow. Any suggestions to check for?

just bought a 07 cls550 80k miles $3k..only had to replace o-ring on front passenger air pump..everything else excellent

Found one for 4200 about to wheel n deal thanks for the idea of this one. I have a 08 c300 but c class is low quality, had a 94 c230 as well had a 2005 bmw 530i, pretty freaking awesome got it for 3500 can find them now for 2500

I have a question, I've been offered a 2006 cls500 which has only 12k miles on it,it was stored professionally by someone very rich and it's condition is very very clean as if it's brand new for approximately 9k dollars should I buy it?

That cls costs less then my Bicycle😂 what a deal

Hey bro how much to fix the problem u had for the rear suspension? I have the same problem with my cls500. Please let me know.

Our Daily family car since 2011. still Going, still Looking good, still getting compliments, fast and reliable.

I Love The CLS I Had A Black On Black 07 CLS550 It Was An Awesome Car Only Problem I Had With It Was The Passenger Side Strut Other Than That It Was Great

That car is beautiful.

Very nice , but now I'm very interested to know how it's been since ?? Thank's

the secondary air injection is either a pump or it is plug I pick up a C55 with that issues for 2500 I corrected it

good job bro

Curious to this day how many miles you have? Or if you changed the car, how many miles you did with this car?

Fav CLS generational as well

HI how did you fix the rear suspension ?

With the state of this car, I'm pretty sure this car is more that 200k miles.

Looking at 2006 MB CLS500 with 48K. What issues should i look for?

I use CDs on a daily and they sound much better than most any mp3/streaming network. Why does everyone act as though they're completely out of the count these days? Haha. Beautiful car anyway!

Interesting, did CLS copy the interior from w211 E class or did the E class copy the CLS. I know that from 2007 to 2009 w211 E class was inspired by CLS, but the earlier models from 2003 to 2006 weren't, but the interior was pretty much the same.

Nice,I have an 09 CLS550: exact same body style

Great car enjoy

I want one great vid

The front stays quite high if you ask me..and if you have airmatic you need to change it as a pair not just one

I had a Mercedes Benz man the people I got her from messed her up. I was heartbroken how they just kept messing up repairs . But I'm going to get another one.But I know better not to let everyone work on my car now

I really missed the brutal acceleration, presenting the power of this car!

I knew I recognized that. You got that listed on turo.

just got mine from a friend $3800 2010 CLS550 @137k miles. The only issue is one of the headlights doesn’t work and it’s not the bulb

please please please put amg sport package bodykit and make a video about it. also a good android headunit

Im about to purchase a 2006 Mercedes 500 it has 46,000 miles, any good advice?

Best pickup

My fathers cls 350 is 10 tes old and I think where going to have service on it today

My favorite benzo ever

That’s the second key ! At some point they upgraded to the silver version. $300 and a dealer will register it to your vehicle. Worth it because of one goes down you are screwed.

God damn that’s a steal, I’ve been looking for one around 6 or 7 range!

how much do yoh want for it?

No....it is the sexiest, most beautiful car ever!

I’m here because I was driving behind you and say your RU-vid name lmao

great buy, here in brazil the same car would cost $30,000 here super value these cars, even not knowing why

Kinda reminds me of my 2004 Jag when I had it.

Hi, I am very interested to buy a used 2008 cls 350 here in India which has done less than 100k km. The price quoted is for about 5 time the price you paid. The car has been kept well. But I have to pay 50% more for registering it in a different state. I know the laws here are weird... But still I am very tempted by the looks of the car. Do you think it is worth it?

You got a good deal

i've just got the 320 cls with 90k miles the steering is worst .check out the 55 amg version on top gear season6 e1 it faster around a track than a prosche 911 gt3

I love the wheels I got them on my W211

Looking at a 2009 CLS 550 w 73,000 miles selling for $13k. Is that a good deal?

What is it with youngsters blacking things out? Just drive and enjoy the car. You got her cheap and there will be enough repairs on the horizon to keep you busy.

I have cls 350 from the Year 2005 with 272 HP. Its a beautifull and cool Car with 19" wheels. Negativ : dies Car is Full of Elektronicsensors for ever single schitt. It is a pure Mercedes pretty and powerfull. One Time Mercedescars Driver allways Mercedescars Driver.

I found one for $3500 in similar condition in my area, but no check engine light, I’m thinking about picking it up

That wheel gap is crazy. She def needs work but good for you for trying

Bat man benz....I have a cls550 , I love it....

nice car

I’m so glad these cars have depreciated, been seeing them as low as 3grand

Bro you should buy the 2007 cls550 with 382 hp is a whole different animal..for little more money

Great video I'm buying a 2006 CLS today from my neighbor in Maryland. Thanks for the info.

I got one CLS 320, 276HP :)

Im getting mine soon .. im only worried about engine problems and the aromatic suspension ..

Just picked up a 2006 for 1900, needed an alternator

Do u even edit your videos

Even my Fiat Cromas center armrest is cooled.

I’m riding this same car right now
