Even on the sticker, you can barely see the Color is : Satin Silver M.

See the build date ?!?!?! 4/00 that has to be from the very early batches.

My CLS was build date 10/00.

and holy shit did they get enough armarol over spray and smear near the climate controls.

Never seen anything like it.

The wheels look like 16" TL-P wheels from 99-2000. They did a terrible job matching the paint when the repaired the drivers side door too. Probably owned by some older person that thought they did a great job customizing the car and finally traded it in for a Caddy.

It's some kind of silly project that's for sure!
And WTF is this?


I think someone mixed up a repair job between a CL, TL, and a ES300! But TCS? Hummmm........

in all honesty, that two tone wouldn't look bad if the cut off was about two feet higher, there was another two tone (blue and gray IIRC) that poped up a while back that was the same way

as for the rims...well he had something custom on at one time and just put the tl's on to trade it in. can't knock the previous owner for that either

As far as I know, none of the CLs come with a switch for the foglights, they automatically come on when you turn your lights on.

HA I just ran a quick carfax on it and look at the mileage history on it:

04/27/2000 2
10/01/2000 99
12/05/2000 2,539
05/02/2002 8,695
07/05/2003 14,330
08/28/2003 15,009
07/12/2004 18,507
07/21/2004 18,604
07/20/2005 211,452

now either they drove over 200,000 miles in the last year or someone input the worng mileage into the computer during the last inpection.

I'm guessing bad data entry.
