A walk around and driving video have been provided by the seller below.
There's a lot to love about these big coupes but most of all, Mercedes-Benz managed to maintain the heritage and emotion of their S Class coupe while ensuring 21st century relevance. Through the use of both aluminum and magnesium, the C215 managed to shed 500 lbs of weight while maintaining its iconic pillarless design. This example comes equipped with a set of aftermarket wheels, which wear a very period-correct chrome finish, along with a Brembo big brake kit and a Super Sprint exhaust. As a bonus, the seller is throwing in the factory wheels and tires, and full exhaust with the sale so you can revert back to stock if wanted. The recent service by the seller ensures that the car is prepped and ready for it's new owner. Showing just 83k miles from new, this C215 offers a great opportunity to channel your inner Paul Wall in your new Midnight Blue CL Mercedes.

Dean@mbmarket - Gripping grain, swanging and bangin.......Love the Paul Wall reference, Blakely! IYKYK.....A walk around and driving video have been added to the listing.Hey everyone! I’m selling one of my child hood dream cars out of my personal Mercedes Benz collection. The car is an absolute dream to drive and needs nothing but a new owner. With recent servicing, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive this car anywhere in the country. Everything that is done to the car is period correct and can be easily reverted back to stock as I will be including the factory wheels and exhaust. The color combo is what sold me it’s a bit different then the usual c215 silver or black or old man tan. The interior is absolutely immaculate not a single crack on any of the wood trim pieces the seats smell and look new the car is simply beautiful inside and out happy bidding everyone! and I hope the next person enjoys this car as much as I did it’s an excellent example of a clean C215.$3,250 bid placed by @Bankrep40
