This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG was sold new out of Granada Hills, California where it remained a lease vehicle for a year and then sold as a CPO car to the second owner who had it until 2021. The third owner was a service manager at a local Mercedes-Benz dealership who then sold it to the current seller in April of 2025 and has stayed in the Los Angeles area its entire life. The car is finished in Titanium Grey Metallic (494) over Beige/Brown Nappa Leather (804) and is powered by a 6.2-liter DOHC V8 mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Features include Bi-Xenon headlights with cornering lights, Keyless-GO, power-adjustable heated and ventilated dynamic front seats with memory, a rear-view camera, Night View Assist, COMAND with navigation, an electric rear roller blind, and a Harman-Kardon Logic7 sound system. Prior service in July 2025 includes an emergency brake actuator, soft close door actuator, and an oil service in May of 2025 at 35,700 miles. Under the selling dealer's care, the following additional services were performed: New front and rear rotors and brake pads, new rear brake sensors, new rear shocks, new valve cover gaskets, a cooland flush, a new A/C compressor, new rear lower control arms, new cam sensors, and four new tires. Now with 39k miles, this C216 AMG is now offered by the seller with recent physical invoices, a Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The exterior is finished in Titanium Grey Metallic (494) and features a pillarless coupe design. Factory body work includes sculpted AMG-specific bumper covers, side skirts, and a rear diffuser with quad exhaust outlets. Additional features consist of Bi-Xenon headlights with cornering illumination, fog lights, UV rejection glass, and an electric sunroof. The Carfax report shows a moderate accident reported in December of 2010 and the seller notes the front bumper, hood, and front driver fender have been repainted.
Staggered factory five-spoke AMG 20″ wheels are finished in chrome and are mounted with BF Goodrich tires measuring 255/35 up front and 275/35 out back with 2025 date codes. Curb rash is noted on the rear passenger wheel. The car is equipped with Active Body Control suspension with a high-pressure line replaced at 25k miles in 2021 with new fluid. Silver-finished AMG six-piston calipers clamp at the front with four piston rear calipers. New front and rear pads and rotors were installed by the selling dealer.
The cabin is upholstered in Beige/Brown Nappa Leather (804) with a designo Cashmere Alcantara headliner, matching carpets, and Burl Wood veneers on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Black floor mats adorn the front and rear footwells. The stitched leather and rich burl wood are accented with brushed metal and polished chrome buttons laid out across the convex center console, a design introduced on the C215/W220. An analog IWC clock is centered between the brushed metal climate control vents. Additional features include power-adjustable heated and ventilated dynamic front seats with memory, automatic climate control, Night View Assist, COMAND with navigation, a Harman-Kardon Logic7 sound system, an electric rear roller blind, soft close doors, and Keyless-Go.
The leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel frames digital instrumentation including a 200-mph speedometer, an AMG-branded 8k-rpm tachometer, and additional gauges displaying fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer displays 39k miles, along with digital readouts for various assistance programs, outside temperature reading, and infotainment menus.
The naturally aspirated 6.2-liter M156 V8 was factory rated at 518 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The engine features an aluminum block and DOHC heads, along with port fuel injection. This pillarless coupe can accelerate to 60 in 4.5 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155-mph with the ability to raise it to 186-mph through any diagnostics reader. Prior service in July 2025 includes an emergency brake actuator, soft close door actuator, and an oil service in May of 2025 at 35,700 miles. Under the selling dealer's care, the following additional services were performed: New front and rear rotors and brake pads, new rear brake sensors, new rear shocks, new valve cover gaskets, a cooland flush, a new A/C compressor, new rear lower control arms, and new cam sensors.
The Carfax report shows linear mileage updates since new and the one aforementioned accident in 2010. Now with 39k miles and thorough recent servicing, this CL63 AMG is now offered by the selling dealer with recent service invoices, a Carfax report, and a clean California title.

@morel. I will get some pictures of the door cards up. I will see if I can get a higher qualify video, but I believe it gets compressed when uploaded. Thanks!Where is the Car Fax report?@cartographer. This one DOES have Distrionic and Parking sensors. The sensors are not exposed on these CLs and are behind the bumpers.@genevamotorcars thanks for the answer on ownership, but could you still post video of the two door cards? The exterior video uploaded is in 480p...any higher resolution possible, including startup and driving?$18,250 bid placed by @63driver
@GenevaMotorCars: Just to verify...is this CL63 NOT equipped with Distronic Plus or parking sensors of any type? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance. GLWTA!$18,000 bid placed by @JoeBenz2001

Thank goodness this has boring beige leather or I’d have to bid (which my wife wouldn’t like unless I sold my same year CL600)$16,000 bid placed by @JoeBenz2001
@GenevaMotorCars thank you for your response. Good to know that the side bolsters work. Can you confirm if the Lumbar bolster works, it is not related to the automatic cornering support. Best@jme2711. I believe they do indeed work. We have nothing on our inspection and I do remember the seat bolster working when I was driving it. I always turn them on, as I love it in my CL!@morel. It sold shortly after being listed last time to someone else in California. They had an issue with the suspension and decided to sell it after fixing it as it still needed rear brakes, rear control arms, valve cover gaskets etc. We performed all the work that was needed and now it is ready for the next owner! We are a licensed dealer so we own the car on a California re-assignment!Hi. Could you confirm if the driver seat bladders and air pumps are all working as intended? The massage functions are secondary. We are interested in the air bladers in the side and lumbar. Thank you.$15,750 bid placed by @omarshareef

So this CL63 was listed on MB Market in September 2025...then went to Land Rover Ventura...and ended up in Wisconsin but still with a California title? Any reason for the quick change of ownership after all that service? Great spec even with the chrome wheels. The door card leather tends to bubble on these. Looks like the driver side may be softening, could you post video of the two door cards? Looks like some of the description is copy/pasted from the last sale. https://thembmarket.com/2008-mercedes-benz-cl63-amg-2I'd love to make that L.A. to Vegas midnight run in my M113k powered S55 with this beautiful CL63 right on my tail. 😎$15,000 bid placed by @MercedesDad
@Mercedesdad you ignore the cam phaser and cam and tappet bucket wear issues focusing only on the bolts issue (which was bad enough for MB to revise the part and repair many M156 engines under warranty, including two I owned) and then cite the first comment, my comment, as internet echo while telling me not to take it personally. No problem. Back to the car in question. @GenevaMotorCars you've proven to be a reliable and good dealer here and elsewhere and I wish you all the best. Just letting anyone unfamiliar with the M156 know that if it were me I'd plan on proactively addressing the few known weaknesses in an otherwise outstanding engine. And there is indeed no sound quite like a NA 6.3 at full song. The best selling feature of the engine by far. The coupes are a thin market as many buyers want the four doors or an SL. But I think this body style in these years was one of the most gorgeous MBs in decades. Always a sucker for a pillar-less coupe as the 560SEC being brought back to life in the garage attests to.@zachmac Don’t take it personally; my comment was about the internet echo chamber (the first comment on this magnificent example rather proving the point). A minor bolt revision somehow became a mechanical apocalypse online, while owners are out enjoying one of AMG’s greatest engines; still happily running on stock internals. Cheers.@GenevaMotorCars thank you for the prompt response. GLWA of this beauty. @MercedesDad I’ve owned and own dozens of Mercedes including 55, 65, and 63 AMG variants. I didn’t post any internet myth, I simply asked a reasonable question regarding known issues with some M156 and M157 engines. It is indeed rare to have a head bolt failure but if you do it is a major issue. Better to proactively replace the head bolts, cam phasers and tapper buckets before then with the kit from Weistec which basically uses the same parts AMG saw fit to use on the SLS engines. About $2k for peace of mind and a bulletproof M156 thereafter. Just because you haven’t experienced a failure doesn’t make the documented issues a myth. By the way, I actually wrench on my own cars as well, not just pay Mercedes and feel like that makes me a car guy!😀@MercedesDad i'll second that. I had a 2009 E63 Wagon for several years and it did need head bolts and some other stuff, but whatever it's just part of the amazing experience and if that makes you uncomfortable stick to sensible/reliable products and don't have as much fun. Just like the guys who buy boats and squeak and argue at every bill. Go have some fun while you have health and the costs are what they are. Examples like this are getting pretty hard to find and the big CL coupes are so nicely balanced with much better looks than the sedan or E63 sedan.@zachmac. I do not have record of the head bolts, tappets etc. With that being said, as mentioned in the write up this one was owned and maintained by an MB tech. The next owner and ourselves did a lot of work to get this one as perfect as possible. Truly no expense was spared.THISSS..., and the CL65, are becoming the next ultra-collectible AMGs. Particularly when low-mile ones are grabbed and stashed away in private collections. Beautiful machine. And ohhh the infamous "M156 questions". Internet myth repeated by people who don’t actually own these cars. In the real world, thousands of these engines are happily screaming past 100k miles without drama. Real owners, too busy enjoying one of the greatest naturally aspirated V8s AMG ever built to worry about forum folklore.What a beautiful example. These are such a great value and the M156 is just so perfect. They make some of the best noises and yes, there are some potential needs and they are all manageable and worth it. A full RennTech R2 kit and exhaust on one of these would be worth it.Head bolts? Cam phasers? Tappet buckets? All the normal M156 questions please.$250 bid placed by @JoekerG
