Description

This is a Swedish-sold Mercedes-Benz CL500 with a total of five registered owners, of which only three have actually used the car. The remaining two owners were Hedin Bil, the dealership where the car was originally sold new and later traded back in during 2006.

The first owner, who owned a furniture company, had the car from 2004 to 2006. It was then owned by the previous owner from 2006 to 2024 — an impressive 18 years — which strongly suggests that the car has been well cared for throughout its life.

The current owner purchased the car last year and has used it as a summer vehicle. It is now being sold due to lack of garage space and a desire to switch to a convertible instead.

Recently serviced with new fuel and brake lines, and newly inspected until 2026-11-30, the car is ready for its next owner. Mileage is low at only 127,000 km, verified by the service book and previous inspection reports.

These CL models offer exceptional value for money, combining timeless design with impressive comfort and performance. The car features distinctive frameless side windows with no B-pillar, twin headlights, and long, elegant doors with floating hinges for easy access. The interior is superbly luxurious, finished in high-quality leather, and equipped with fully electric seats, adjustable air suspension, advanced infotainment system, and virtually every comfort feature Mercedes offered in the early 2000s.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine starts instantly and runs smoothly, with an exceptionally clean and tidy engine bay. On the road, the car feels stable, quiet, and refined, yet when you press the accelerator, you’re greeted by the deep and satisfying sound of the V8. The 5G-Tronic automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, and the brakes perform well.

    The air suspension operates correctly, raising and lowering the car as it should, and the air conditioning blows cold. There is a small crack in the top corner of the windscreen and a broken washer bottle cap "see pictures". The car comes with a spare wheel and complete tool kit in the boot, and a set of attractive alloy wheels with good tyres.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is exceptionally clean and well-kept, with beautiful leather seats all around showing no damage. The door cards, carpets, and headliner are also in very nice condition — the only remark being some stains on the carpet in the boot. The dashboard is undamaged, featuring elegant wood trim throughout.

    All electric seat functions, including tilt and slide, work perfectly, as do the electric mirrors, windows, sunroof, radio/navigation system, and side distance sensors. The only noted issue is that the soft-close function on the driver’s door is not working properly.

    It’s truly remarkable how modern and solid this car feels, despite being over 20 years old — a clear testament to Mercedes’ build quality and engineering.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car presents itself very well overall, and with its alloy body and composite panels, it does not suffer from the typical rust issues found on many other models. As shown in the photos, there are a few small paint blisters, mainly oxidation beneath the paint around the sunroof and upper side roof panels. All body panels are straight and undamaged, with only minor hairline crack on the edges of both front wings — these are composite plastic and not of major concern "see pictures". The underbody is exceptionally clean, and the paintwork is tidy and presentable, with evidence of a previous repaint on the rear right wing and bonnet. There is a slight color difference on the wing and some light polishing marks visible in places (see pictures).

  • General condition:

    It’s hard to find a cooler coupé from the early 2000s that combines this level of style, comfort, and V8 performance — it truly offers an impressive amount of car for the money.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
