Exterior features include Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination, a power glass sunroof, folding side mirrors, and halogen fog lamps positioned in the bumper. The front bumper wears a license plate mount and the grille shows the solid emblem indicating Distronic-Plus. A blemish in the grille is noted and shown in the gallery in addition to a paint blemish under the rear right taillamp.
The standard wheels for this CL550 have been removed and replaced with 18” 5-spoke AMG wheels from a CLS55 AMG. The OEM+ wheels measure 18x8.5” up front and 18x9.5 in the rear and wear Goodyear F1 tires. New front brake pads were installed within the last six months.

Amenities on this example include Distronic-Plus, dual-zone automatic climate control, Keyless-Go, heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats, a heated steering wheel, rear headrests with power assist, a glass power sunroof, a power rear window shade, and a Harman-Kardon surround sound system with a six-disc DVD changer.

A video has been provided showing a walkaround and tour.
Joie de vivre, on demand: The sexy, sweeping silhouette of this C216 pillarless coupe pairs perfectly with the Periclase paintwork, providing performance, power and precision sans pretense. The luxurious cabin swells to a symphony of handsome materials with stitching as surgically precise as the steering and grip at Autobahn speeds. We could wax romantic for days about the effortless elegance and beastly beauty of this gorgeously muscular grand touring grin-maker, but there’s much more to this example than just a pretty face. As many enthusiasts and drivers have noted of late, low-mile, well-kept W221 S-Class sedans appear to be primely placed in the sweet spot of depreciation, relevant useable tech, performance and reliability. Thereto, it follows, that its door-deprived brethren – the C216 – provides all the same Hegelian desirability while making your heart flutter at its façade, and delivering a dopamine drip under your right foot. To quoth the Scorsesean bard: “Buy this thing and you’ll be upper-class by about Tuesday…”

I know I’m kicking myself a bit. I have a 1995 SL500 and a boat I’m actively trying to sell. If either one of those was sold already you would have had more of a battle lol. I felt bad not leaving a comment about the condition of the car bc it’s great but I didn’t want to screw myself. All part of the auction game
Congrats to both
@StealsWheels thank you! That color!!
Congrats to both buyer and seller.
Great buy. You will not be disappointed, I was hoping it would stay around $16,000 to leave some room for the inevitable suspension repairs and a professional paint correction. I went to see the car in person, you will not be disappointed. Thought the reserve was going to be higher
Congratulations @Merc2000

@Asher5 This color has been rare with C216s. The last one I saw on any auction was April of 2021 and that had similar equipment. I finally quit looking and bought a 2007 Launch Edition in June of this year. If I hadn't I'd be all over this one. To everyone out there if Jade is your thing don't miss on this one.
