Basic Information and History
The MERCEDES-BENZ CL 500 5G-Tronic, 306 hp (C215), model year 2000, represents one of the brand’s most exclusive and advanced coupe models of its era. Built on S-Class technology but packaged in an elegant and powerful coupe body, the model quickly became an icon within the luxury GT segment. The CL 500 is characterized by its refined V8 engine, 5G-Tronic automatic transmission, and exceptional comfort.
This particular example was sold new in Sweden and delivered on June 7, 2000. The odometer shows only 59,500 km, which can be guaranteed. The car has had five owners since new and has been meticulously cared for throughout the years to preserve its exceptional condition. The current owner carefully selected this specific car thanks to its well-preserved condition, complete documentation, and attractive specification. Even after 25 years, the car still appears almost original, with only marginal age-related signs – a very rare state for this model.

Condition

Interior: The cabin is in exceptionally fine condition; the leather is well preserved, and the headliner is nearly as new. Controls, panels, and wood trim are fresh, with only light wear on the steering wheel buttons – fully reasonable given the car’s low mileage and age.
