The Appeal
The C216 stuck firmly to the established CL-Class principles of supreme luxury, sweeping styling, and advanced technology. These are cars in which to indulge and celebrate the achievement of ownership.
This 5.5litre V8 CL500 neatly underplays its 382bhp performance with a subtle colour scheme and a lack of badging. It has a very highly specified car that has clearly been looked after by its three keepers. They have kept on top of the maintenance and the car comes to the buyer with full Mercedes-Benz service history. This includes a recent gearbox service by a marque specialist. It also has a 24-month, 12,000 mile service plan which covers the next service, which is due in June 2025.
Luxuriously and as beautifully built as any high-end Mercedes-Benz buyers would expect, this is a very good example.
