2009 Mercedes-Benz CL500 (C216)

Big, sleek and well appointed 5.5 V8 coupe with AMG wheels and bidy-kit showing just under 79,000 miles; £110,000 when new!

Dating from March 2009 this attractive C216 series of Mercedes CL comes to us in 5.5 litre CL500 guise, pumping out a whopping 383bhp from its powerful V8 engine, driving the rear wheels via 7-G (7-speed) automatic transmission putting down a colossal 530Nm of torque giving rather exciting performance of 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds – not bad for a luxury laden 2 tonne+ behemoth!

Finished in Obsidian black and riding on attractive 19inch staggered fitment AMG wheels, the car wears an optional AMG body-kit which gives this spacious 2+2 coupe lovely attitude. Inside, we find the usual huge spec of any S-Class based coupe, including (but not limited to) double glazing, soft-close, acres of soft black (extended) leather, piano black trim, front and rear parking sensors, automatic Xenon lights, automatic wipers, glass sunroof, Comand navigation with BOSE sound, electric, heated memory seats, radar guided cruise control, Bluetooth and an assortment of other gadgetry and wizardry of tech as befits the top of the range Mercedes of its era.

Showing just 78,988 miles, this big-hearted coupe is barely run-in and comes with a useful history file, owned and maintained by a local Mercedes specialist for the past couple of years, the car has wanted for nothing being looked after in-house.

The file includes the V5C, hefty owner’s pack & service book (duplicate) revealing 5 stamps, the last in 2014 at 52,798 miles with a ream of invoices to cover its service history from 2015-2019 including the last major service in April 2019 at 71,763 miles with more recent work in March 2021 to replace the ABC/PAS pump, and in June 2019 to replace an O/S front wheel speed sensor with other works documented at considerable expense.

Ready to be enjoyed with a clean MOT valid until August 2022, these CL coupes offer a huge amount of style, presence, substance and performance at a fraction of their cost when new, over £110,000 in this case(!) which looks mightily tempting at the guide price today.
