2008 MERCEDES-BENZ (C216) CL500 - 30,785 KM

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL500 is a rare low-mileage, one-owner example of the coveted C216-generation executive coupe. Powered by a 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 coupled to an automatic transmission, this example has covered a verified 30,800km from new.

First registered on 22 April 2008, this stunning pillarless coupe has had only one private owner from new, who has maintained it exclusively at Mercedes-Benz dealerships. The vehicle is now for sale with the trade.

Thanks to the low mileage of the vehicle, the exterior condition is absolutely fantastic throughout. The Obsidian Black paintwork retains a deep shine, with the only noticeable mark being on the right-hand side of the rear bumper. The wheels are all free of kerb grazes; however, there are a few marks so they would benefit from a refurbishment, while the chromed rear exhaust tips could use a thorough polishing to bring them up to the same standard as the paintwork.

Inside, the condition of the cabin reflects the low mileage of the vehicle, showcasing an excellent finish throughout. There are a few age-related marks across the cabin such as on the polished door sill covers, switchgear and other high-contact areas, though these are to be expected from a 13-year-old vehicle. The seats are all in excellent shape with no rips or tears, and display only minor signs of wear. To the best of the vendor’s knowledge, everything is working exactly as it should be and there are no warning lights on the dashboard.

Maintained rigorously by the original owner, the history folder supplied with this vehicle details the regime. The most recent service took place at 30,652 km during April 2017. Prior to this, services were carried out in April 2016 at 30,583 km and in April 2015 at 30,527 km. The seller has stated that a fresh service will be carried out by a Mercedes-Benz dealer prior to handover to the next owner.

The most recent Revisione roadworthiness test was carried out during 2020, with no noted faults or advisories. Present with the vehicle is all the original Mercedes-Benz dealer literature, handbooks and other documentation, including a service history using exclusively main dealers.

The C216-generation Mercedes-Benz CL500 is an acclaimed grand tourer, offering an effortless powertrain and luxurious cabin, and all the creature comforts you would want for long-distance touring. Benefitting from single ownership since new, this CL500 would make an excellent weekend cruiser or road trip companion.
