Thanks everyone for your time looking into this with me. Greatly appreciated. I'm taking delivery of the car sometime next week and I'm really excited! Elite Motorsports has been great with me throughout this ordeal (never rude, patient, very responsive to emails...Nicole is great!) and it's great to see that they understand customer service. When you build a CLS on the official Mercedes website, the pictures match the badging which I guess is the "new normal." Also, when you're selecting a car build all the AMG cars are written with the AMG first. Just an FYI to anyone else who might be in the same shoes as me.

Thanks to everyone for your time investigating this. The car had 1 previous owner for 2500mi and is being sold from Elite Motorsports (as you can tell from the pictures). The owner is quite active in the auto industry and is an enthusiast as well. He was a great guy to talk to! The dealer has been very responsive to my emails and have specifically written in the emails that there is no mods to the car, no damage, no paintwork. I see no reason why he would want to pull any tricks. I just don't want to be that guy who didn't look into the situation. That for sale ad made me feel reassured that these cars can come from the factory this way. For what reason? I couldn't find one on the net.

Thanks for posting. It definitely is a simple fix but it just made me stop and wonder why this is the only example in all the places I've looked. The dealer posted a pic of the original sticker and I'm requesting a pic of the VIn on the car to make sure it matches. But the interior seems to match up which makes me feel better about it. Anyone out there who would suspect something wrong? Here's a pic of the interior which has the AMG buttons and the AMG dials on the gauges...

Just thought I would run a situation by you guys and see what you guys thought. I'm about to be a new owner of this 2016 cls63. The only thing is the badging on the trunk is backwards. Usually the cls63 is on the driver side and all the other cars I've seen have it the other way around. Has anyone seen this before? The dealer insists this is how the cars are being badged for 2016 but that isn't consistent with what I've seen. What would you guys do?

I got into cycling 3 years ago and sprung for a Cannondale supersix EVO with a bunch of upgrades. I love cycling! The benefits are real: cardio, endurance, low impact on the joints, the people... and I hate running. The only thing I regretted when I bought my bike was to not spring for the actual model that I wanted. I ended up spending the same amount or more with the labor. I essentially changed the whole drivetrain, brakes and cranks! Anyway, now I'm getting into mountain biking as well and getting the S-works stumpy FSR from the get-go. The last thing I would recommend for road biking is clipless pedals/shoes when you buy your bike. The benefits are worth it.

thanks for the recommendation. Finished the season this past week. all I have to say is...wow. fantastic.

If you're going to put in the $1G into serious earphones, I would also look at UltimateEars.com. I'm not affiliated in any way. I bought a pair of the top of the line studio monitors and they are remarkably good. The best way to describe them is: uncolored and balanced. They won't give you the Dr. Beats bass but instead are very musical and articulate. The best part is they take a mold of your ears from a local audiologist and are a perfect fit for the best sound isolation. Mine are 5 years old and are still working perfectly and I don't travel anywhere without them!

Loved reading your story. Congrats!!

That is epic. Keep rocking the lifestyle!

A terrible thing to happen to anyone. The person hosting the "GoFundMe" should also be interested in who is at fault for the accident. Because if he is at fault, then there are more items to fundraise for: damages to property or possibly to others, etc...

Congrats on achieving your dreams! Lots of people achieving their person goals. Certainly really encouraging and something to celebrate! Enjoy!

Great shots. I agree the 12C color pops!

both absolutely stunning. thanks for sharing

That was incredible. Nice find.
