I wanted to lease the CLS500 with amg kit and every single option on the list. This car had all the options Mb offerrs its original price was 82 g's but the car was a trade in for the new S550 so the CLS had 1800 miles which is nothing if your leasing the car. With 6k down the payment was $875 a monthfor 48 months. THe owner was paying 1600 a month with i dont remember how much down so its like half the price of what he was paying for a car that has 1900 miles and the car was in excellent condition. The guy purchased it a month ago and when he saw the S550 he wanted that. It was a steal deal it was soo beautiful in white.

Wow, that's a hefty down payment, but it does bring the down payments to more manageable levels.

Hard to decide. But it they cost the same, I'll pick CLS. Too many e60 in Los Angeles area.

CLS is a nice car but I would consider it only if they put in the new 500 engine

I hate mercedes and I own a 05 530 but im sorry I think I would go for the CLS500 over a 545. I think it looks very nice. Although its only a dressed up chrysler =/

I would not by a cls or any other merc. I often like to drive really sporty, and altough an e60 is quite a big car it doesn't feel it is and nor it looks ugly when driven hard around the bends, doing drifts and stuff. Imagine the same stuff in a cls.
It's simply out of place...
