Would it be retarded to buy a 2012-2015 CLS 550?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

These mechanics ain't shyt and I'm real close to trading in my car so I ain't gotta deal with them. Folks can't even do a simple task I doubt I make the move, but idk.

A CLS550 is right up my alley in regards to price and performance. A simple tune will net 510hp and 700tq.

I'm just worried about maintenance killing me

I'm not sure if those cars have the air-suspension but if they do and you're worried about maintenance, skip the CLS and skip it HARD.

My dad has a CLS AMG (older model, I forget what year) with the air-suspension.

He basically has to pay $2k every other year to get it fixed.

That’s dumb, he can just convert it from air to coilovers

Ride is way different after, takes away the "float" feeling that you buy a luxury car for in the first place. you not supposed to feel every bump in an benz lol

I like a more sporty ride anyway I wouldn’t want floaty on a CLS anyway.

Find you a good Benz Indy mechanic who work on nothing but benzes and you should be already

My current car i bought got coilovers and I don't care for em. Just too much off a hassle. There's nothing wrong with the ride persay but getting under it is a task. I tried to get a wheel alignment and shyt was sitting to low. Imma have to lift it one of these days

I don't think the CLS is floaty. It might be since I ain't never drove one, but they supposedly firm up in sports mode.

Sounds like you lowered it too much. Slammed for a daily is annoying af. I like a and there’s coilovers where you can adjust the dampening on the fly with the press of a button.You can do an aircup system for your front to lift it if you really like the lowered look

Nah I didn't lower it, whoever had it before me did it. I think air suspension is the way to go, but I understand why folks choose coilover.

With that said, I'm still looking at the cls wondering if imma pull the trigger within the next couple months

I personally like the first Gen CLS better than the second Gen

Yeah, but I don't want to get nothing too old. And the first gen got more problems.

Not if you get the last year of the first Gen.. everything was ironed out

 

[Luken]

I didnt have any issues with my CLS...actually the air suspension did end up going
