It's hard to believe this car is nearing 25 years old. Whether it's the timeless design or the incredible condition, you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer example. This CL500 is also nicely optioned with the highly desirable AMG sport package which provides some welcomed aesthetic upgrades with the body kit and iconic monoblock wheels. Pair these factors with the operational early Distronic cruise control and collectors should take note. There's a lot to love about these pillarless coupes but most of all, Mercedes-Benz managed to maintain the heritage and emotion of their S-Class coupe while ensuring 21st century relevance. It's definitely worth noting the selling dealer is including a 6-month/6k-mile engine/transmission limited warranty with the sale at no additional cost. You can bid with confidence knowing the car is covered if any unknown issues were to arise. Whether a buyer is looking to add this to a collection or start feeding some daily miles into a showroom fresh C215, you couldn't ask for a more better spec. From the deep shine in the paint and crystal clear headlights, to the plush leather and rich wood trim, time capsule examples like this are getting harder to find as these cars approach classic status.
