Well I was looking for a replacement for my Megane 225 Trophy. I wanted something faster, bigger, comfier and more luxurious. After considering and doing my homework on M cars I was advised that The CLS AMG was within my price bracket.
I stretched the budget a little as this particular example came up that I couldn't turn down!
She's a 2007 with 17,000 miles on the clock :doublesho Has a 6.2ltr V8 which makes 507bhp and 465lbs of torque. It has a few options ticked, I believe the seats and satnav were extras. I'm not aware of the original options though but it's got tonnes of features which I am still figuring out.
Here she is the day I picked her up....
Another reason why I was so keen on the car is that my friend (who's father in law was selling), is a professional detailer. So I know the car has been meticulously cared for and is currently coated in Gtechniq products. I believe it has C1 and EXO on the paintwork, G1 on the glass and Smart Fabric on the carpets.
All I have done so far is give the interior a once over, mainly for the sake of it rather than a need for it. So I wiped all the leather down with a damp microfiber, gave any matt plastics a wipe with some Autoglym Rubber & Vinyl Care and gave it a vacuum.
The car has these very nice AMG mats but also a set of rubber protective floor mats, hence these are so mint. Even the boot has a protective liner fitted!
I can honestly say you don't appreciate your car until you clean it yourself. Having been over each part of the interior you begin to appreciate the attention to detail and little features you just wouldn't spot if you let someone else do it.
This weekend I'm hoping to get outside and give the outside a once over, possibly a spray with some Gyeon Wetcoat and get some better exterior pictures.
All I can say is I'm absolutely loving everything about the car (except maybe fuel consumption but it's worth it). Roll on the weekends washing!
