The seller has provided the following videos:
There’s nothing better in this world than a S-Class Coupe. Mercedes-Benz knocked it out of the park with the C216 as it was a huge step up in reliability and build quality over the beautiful, but not as well built, C215. We had the Recession in 2009, so you had to be someone of enormous wealth to buy a six figure, 500 horsepower personal luxury coupe when the economy took a nose dive. This appears to be a very good example to spend your money on if you’re in the market. It has the perfect amount of miles (be wary of anything with a M156 that’s been sitting for a long time) and the Carfax shows it has been regularly driven paired with exclusive dealer service and lots of oil changes. The black/black color combination pairs well with its brutish nature and looks menacing with the factory fender flares. We like the M156 over the later M157 and this has the added benefit of being a late model M156 car. We regularly have conversations on what would be the best Mercedes to take on a cross country road trip and the C216 AMG makes a regular appearance in our discourse.

Bottom line, it won't be sold, but thank you to everyone.@RobertTTanner 2nd bidder chiming in. While I absolutely adore a 2nd gen CL, comparing it to an E60 AMG is kinda like comparing a nice cashmere sweater to an 80's Submariner. 2k-3k of these cars were made and black/black was the most common color. At nearly 70k miles, I wouldn't say it's an investment opportunity. VERY Nice car- no argument but it's a far comparison.LOL...not good enough to part with it though. A 1994 E 60 that had been converted was going for a bid of over 100K. And I promise you, this car is a heck of a lot more car than that one. Who is to say what this could potentially go for in another 10 years.$18,500 damn good money for that car…$18,500 bid placed by @milacaboy

Robert, I don't have any ill "motivation" behind my questions or trying to drive the sale down. I love the car and have been looking for a similar example for a bit now. Just a handful of questions based on photos and VMI, prior to placing a bid on the car. Good luck with the sale.Just wanted to say that I had wanted a CL 55 or 63 AMG for years, particularly in black, and drove all over the Midwest when one happened to come up for sale which wasn’t very often. I probably looked at 5 or 6 of them and each one had a decent sized list of things that needed repair. I never ended up buying one and at some point gave up on ever owning one. Now this pristine example that has been very well taken care of and great service history pops up in my own back yard, less than 35 miles away but unfortunately I find myself more invested in classic cars these days and not in a position to bid on it. This is a very rare car in immaculate condition and not modified which is even more rare. Good luck to both potential bidders and the seller as the auction winds down!!I view myself as the current caretaker of this amazing Mercedes. I've been thinking over the most recent comment, and a reply for the past few hours. I will begin by saying I am NOT a person who NEEDS to sell this vehicle out of my collection, I am a person who WANTS to sell this vehicle out of my collection. A person cannot easily say what the motivations are behind making comments as you have made. Are they genuine comments, or are they comments made to keep the price low so that maybe at the last minute you can finally place a bid thinking that you might steal the car with a low bid. Or there is the possibility that you don't know what this car is, or maybe you are betting that I don't know what this car is. Either way, does not really matter. I'm not really sure what your motivation is. The very fact that the VMI shows that this car has been very well maintained should be the key take away. You should be more concerned when a person does not maintain their car. You are bidding on a used car that is nearly twenty years old and is by all rights in extremely good condition. This is also no run of the mill Mercedes. This car is special. The original MSRP in 2009 was around 140K. Anyone who knows what this car is and has ever had the pleasure to own or drive, knows exactly what it is. Try to keep all that in perspective. I have also been very transparent. There is a reserve that will not be lifted on this car, and it is not anywhere close to the current bid. For those of you who have actually placed bids, I want to thank you and good luck with your future purchase.Thanks for posting the VMI. As helpful as those are, they also leave me wondering. There are a few instances of where it mentions "fluid leaks". Any idea what that is? Have you ever experienced it? Also, does the car have PPF on it? Per photo 21 looks like it. Lastly, photo 80, can you confirm if there's a crack on the bottom of the front bumper/valance? Thanks!$10,250 bid placed by @milacaboy
