Wow that car looks like it's had a hard life for having such low miles. That GM stereo and hacked piece of plastic look terrible, and belong nowhere near that car!

If you are going off a cliff, you might want to cut them. Don't worry, the scratches will buff out.
Exterior has a few scratches. You may or may not be able to buff. I don’t know enough about that to say. HUSBAND SAYS WITH ENOUGH ELBOW GREASE ANYTHING CAN LOOK GOOD.

The service light just came on. This may be because the car has been sitting. Regardless, Better to be safe than sorry and have things checked.

No **** Einstein.

A CL600 for people who can't really afford a CL600. So I'm sure the maintenance has been totaly neglected.
