The Background

The second generation CL coupe was based on the W215 S Class chassis, introduced in 1999 it was far softer edged and sleeker than the previous version it replaced, and remained in production until 2006, powered by a range of V8, and as we have here, V12 engines for effortless performance.
They were the ultimate in personal luxury with the latest Mercedes technology and loaded with every comfort and convenience feature available at the time.

The History 

The current owner has owned this CL600 since 2014, in which time the MOT history shows he has driven it around 10,000 miles a year, enough to keep it ticking over and to stay on top of any issues but not enough to put too much wear on the car.
The receipts show the car has wanted for nothing, with not just regular servicing and tyres but real care has been taken to keep the car as it should be, with things like the door control module and wiring replaced in 2017 to make sure all the buttons worked correctly, and when new to him some bigger service jobs were taken care off, such as engine mounts and seals and the ABC self levelling suspension pump replaced in 2014.
In 2019 the car needed some brake lines replacing and a small repair panel which was taken care of and in 2020 the accelerator pedal and air mass sensor were changed to correct a loss of power, which solved that.
In May this year it passed a new MOT and had a full service including brake fluid, diff oil and rear suspension camber arms, so the car is ready to drive.

The Paperwork 

The MOTs show the mileage to be genuine and the rare advisories that the car has been in good condition and any issues fixed straight away.

There are plenty of receipts showing the work that has been done, service and otherwise and there are some big jobs to be aware of on these cars, and they seem to have been covered in the paperwork.

The Interior

The full leather interior has held up extremely well, showing very little sign of age or use in the high quality hide covering the four seats, and the leather door cards and side trim also looks unworn. There is dark wood everywhere, across the doors, side panels, dash and centre consul and even the in the back the cover of the centre storage cubby and cup holders. This is all looks virtually new. The carpet is unworn and unmarked as is the headlining.

There are buttons aplenty, with multi function seat controls in the doors for movement, heating and cooling, and on the seats bases controls for the massage functions. In the centre stack we have a colour screen for the radio and CD - a changer is in the boot - on board computer and sat nav. Other tech includes air conditioning, electric sunroof and mirrors and frameless doors so the entire double glazed side glass can drop away. 

The Exterior


This is a very original car which has been well cared for but used throughout its life, so is in very good condition with smooth panels which appear ding and corrosion free and excellent paint finish, but just a few very minor age and use blemishes can be seen including some small stone chips at the front and on the mirrors, a small scuff under the near side front bumper, some swirls in the boot paint and the V12 badge missing a part on the nearside flank.
The alloys are undamaged and the premium brand XXX tyres have good tread. At the back are quad exhaust tips which are a clue to the otherwise subtle cars true potential.

The Mechanics

The V12 is a masterpiece of engineering and even at idle sounds intoxicating. The car has seen regular limited use, which is ideal as it keeps all the parts moving and lubricated and any issues can be kept on top of , but not driven until worn out. 

These models came with a very advanced high pressure hydraulic self levelling suspension system, allowing the car to stay flat while cornering but ride smoothly when cruising.

The Appeal

Sleek and good looking in an understated rather than ostentatious way, loaded with luxuries and packing a V12 under the bonnet, there's lots going for this big coupe. 

As the three pointed star’s ultimate symbol of quality and status it was built as well as Mercedes could, using the highest grade materials in their range and that quality still shows.

Come funzionano le offerte massime

Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.

Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.

Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.

Incrementi di offerta automatica

  • Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
  • Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
    • Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
    • Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Ammontare dell'offerta Incremento
Da £0 a £9,999 £100.00
Da £10,000 a £49,999 £250.00
Da £50,000 a £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Superamento immediato dell'offerta

Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.

Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.

Offerte massime di pari ammontare

Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.

Pre-autorizzazione

Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.

Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?

Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.

Problema con l'offerta

Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
