Hello everyone,

I'm 21 and trying to look like a retired CEO on a €10k budget, so I've started looking at the CLS 500 with the M113 engine.

To keep fuel costs down, I'm planning to convert it to run on E85 ethanol.

I know repairs can be expensive, but would a maintenance and repair budget of €500–€1,000 per year be realistic?

I assume the AIRMATIC suspension is the most expensive thing that can go wrong, right?

if any advice or help thanks in advance
