This 2014 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG was sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills, California to the original owner in October of 2013. It remained with the original owner in Southern California until May 2021 with regular dealer service and preventative maintenance. The current owner recently purchased the car with 41k miles on the odometer from a Carmax retailer in Southern California at which point the seller purchased a transferable 5-year, 100k mile extended warranty. Finished in Black (040) over Black/Anthracite (531) Exclusive Leather, this Coupe is one of a handful examples produced for the 2014 model year. Power comes from a 6.0-liter biTurbo V12 paired to a five-speed automatic transmission. Features on this rare example include Distronic Plus, Parktronic, Driver Assistance, Multi-Contour front seats, Night View Assist Plus, Split View COMAND, and Bi-xenon headlamps. Recent service includes a plug service, new rotors and pads, engine mounts, a new cabin air filter, and new tires. This example is now being offered by the seller complete with the CarMax MaxCare warranty, maintenance history, two original keys, a recent Carfax report, and a clean Kentucky title.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) and features AMG styling cues including sculpted bumpers and side skirts along with a quad-tipped AMG exhaust. The facelifted models benefitted from LED daytime running lamps on the revised lower front fascia and LED taillights in the rear along with Adaptive High Beam Assist, Attention Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping, PRE-SAFE Braking, and Direct Steer. In June 2016, a minor accident is reported on the Carfax. According to Carfax, minor damage is usually cosmetic, including dents or scratches to the vehicle body. All body panels remain original with no signs of previous paint work. Reportedly, less than 20 2014 CL65’s were produced for the North American market.
Staggered AMG 20” wheels measuring 20x8.5" in the front and 20x9.5" in the rear are shown with no signs of bends or curb rash. New Ventus V12 Evo 2 tires are mounted and show 2017 date codes; they were installed by CarMax at the time of purchase. Tucked behind the wheels are AMG-branded, silver multi-piston brake calipers and cross-drilled discs measuring 15.4″ up front and 14.4″ in the rear.
In the cabin, the seats, doors, dashboard, and center console are adorned in Black hand-stitched Nappa leather with seats and doors showing diamond-stitched centers. The original Black carpet floor mats are included and show CL65 AMG embossing. The cabin features carbon fiber trim finishing the center console, door cards, and armrest. The A-pillars and headliner are trimmed in Anthracite alcantara. Interior features include dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated multi-contour seats, adjustable ambient lighting, and an IWC Schaffhausen timepiece in the dashboard.
The Black leather-trimmed steering wheel features multi-function controls for the COMAND infotainment systems and frames an electronic gauge cluster. The cluster features a 220-mph digital speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital speedometer display can be programmed to show various infotainment functions and readouts. The odometer currently reads just under 42k miles.
The twin-turbocharged and intercooled 6.0-liter V12 was factory-rated at 621 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 738 lb-ft of torque between 2,300 to 4,300 rpm. Earlier model CL65's were rated at 604 horsepower and the power increase for the later model is a result of larger turbocharger piping, reprogrammed electronics, a new revised alternator, new piston rings, modified oil pump, a larger cooling-air intake, and upgraded coating on the catalytic converters; all of which were worked up by the wizards at AMG. Along with a reduction in fuel consumption via regenerative braking for battery management of both the on-board electrical system and generator. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 722.6 five-speed AMG Speedshift transmission. The engine is covered by an AMG-exclusive carbon fiber airbox showing the signature of the single-engine maker emblazoned on a plaque at the center of the airbox. Recent service includes a plug service, new rotors and pads, engine mounts, and a new cabin air filter. The transmission was replaced under warranty at Mercedes-Benz Encino, California.
This AMG coupe is protected by a transferrable five-year, 100,000-mile “bumper-to-bumper” warranty underwritten by Carmax protecting the vehicle through the earlier of either October 2026 or 100,000 miles. This warranty covers all components and systems on the entire vehicle except for consumables and interior trim wear & tear. A $150 deductible applies to the warranty when serviced at a Mercedes-Benz dealer or other dealer/independent mechanic, or a $100 deductible applies when the car is dropped for service at a Carmax location and subsequently transferred to Mercedes-Benz for repair.
This example is now being offered by the seller complete with the transferable bumper-to-bumper 5-year/100k-mile warranty, maintenance history, two original keys, a recent Carfax report, and a clean Kentucky title.

The heading now says sold! And the price says $75,000. If that's the case, it's nice that The MB Market has let us know about the aftermath. Kudos @thembmarket!
It seems to be just a swell car. Regrettable but understandable that RNM. It'd be fun to know what the seller ends up doing with it.
Not.
Anyone here?
Sold or not sold? o_O

Thank you
@Kastrioti0 That is up to the seller. If not, when the auction ends it will either say "sold" or "ended" depending on whether the reserve has been met.
Reading this listing and viewing the photos was like watching a food show. My mouth is literally watering, such a beautiful and rare car. GLWTA and thanks for sharing!
Will there be a notification if the reserve is met?
@Iamtheeggman yes, there is a spare and the tools to put the spare on as well.
Is there a spare or a can of fix-a-flat like my SL?
@Mrmaximus The buyer's premium is only charged if the reserve is met. Thank you.
@Mrmaximus yes, there is a reserve. I do not know if the buyer will be charged still if the reserve is not met.
is there a reserve and if so, if the reserve is not met will the buyer still be charged the buyers fee?

@Anesicolaci it’s a secret since it is a very rare and obscure car. Sorry, but I would like to keep info on the car private. I’m sure you can understand. I would’ve kept this car otherwise for the full 5 years and most likely used it as a daily driver. I can’t say enough good things about the CarMax Maxcare warranty. I have owned an Audi W12, Alpina B7, BMW M6, Range Rover Autobiography Black, and more, etc and between all those cars I have never had an issue when it came to covering repairs. The largest single repair bill I can remember was $12,000 on my BMW M6 that had the V10.
@CarNerd Thanks! What is the replacement car?
@obscurecarguy I have always been more of a fan of the 65 AMG coupes vs the sedans or roadsters! Coupes had the higher MSRP as well. This car was around $235k back in 2014. For people who don’t know, Mercedes Benz and AMG released the 6.0 V12 biturbo motor in the 2004 CL65 first. It was the first car to wear the ‘65’ designation.
Wow, what an amazing car! This car should go for MUCH more than the 2010 S65 with Carmax Warranty that sold for $65,000 on the MB Market. This being a CL and the last year of production (2014) makes it much more valuable than the 2010 S-Class. The CL65 has always been more exotic to me than the S65 or SL65. It is a much more uncommon body style than those cars. Even a regular CL550 draws attention. Who remembers the last time they saw any CL?? Never!
@Anesicolaci Rear tires are brand new and the front tires have more than 75% tread left.
The brakes were all done around 5,000 miles ago at Mercedes Benz of Encino, California. Spark plugs were done right around the same time as well at the same dealer along with air filter replacement. An oil change was recently done around 500 miles ago. Car has up to date maintenance and if any other issues ever do arise then those would be addressed through the CarMax warranty.
In regards to the brakes, rotors, and non warranty covered items, how is the condition currently and will they need to be addressed soon? TY

@Rapri Warranty will expire in October 2026.
@Rapri The first owner was in California, he sold it to CarMax, and then I bought it from CarMax. It just has not reported yet. Car is in Kentucky and it has a Kentucky title.
It stated kentucky title. But in carfax it mention CA title. Please confirm. Thanks
@Iamtheeggman I am not the first owner but there is zero smoke odor.
Has the car ever been smoked in?
@Youngclassicamg Thanks! Good luck on your Renntech CLS!
great looking car glwts

@glennelrod Even if they weren’t, coilpacks are covered by the CarMax warranty anyway. So need to worry.
@glennelrod Yes, they have been replaced.
$28,000 bid placed by @glennelrod
I currently own a 08 CL65 AMG. This would be a great addition to the garage. Have the coil packs been upgraded or replaced?

@henryr Because I came across a different car. Otherwise, I would keep this CL65 for the full 5 years under the CarMax warranty.
@seller why unloading so soon? (after 5 months)
@AriBK Car is very clean and was in California it’s whole life. It has already had a lot of the major services done. Even the transmission was replaced. Check the Carfax report. Yes, the infotainment screen is operable and if it wasn’t then it would be fixed under the CarMax warranty.
@CarNerd Also is the infotainment screen operable?
@CarNerd Thank you kind sir. Do we know any history of the car? Who may have owned it or what kind of life its had?
@AriBK The photos you requested have been added. Let me know if there are any more photos you'd like.
@Vlad600sel The warranty covers everything besides consumables such as tires, brakes, wiper blades, etc. Yes, CarMax sells the warranty but only on cars that you buy from them. It is called the “MaxCare” warranty and it cannot be purchased privately. In my experience, it is even better than CPO warranties. - https://youtu.be/FvJCCoLoKRA

@CarNerd what does the warranty cover and Carmax is the seller of it? Thank you

@CarNerd Thank you! It would be great to have M279 with individual coils. It's indeed interesting Mercedes updated its engine in 2012 for SL and G cars but kept good old M275 here. It's not big deal though. Both engines are great!

@Sergey It is an M275 AMG with updates to make the horsepower go from 604hp to 621hp. The horsepower is the same as the M279 AMG motor cars. 621hp.
@AriBK Pictures will be uploaded soon.
@Autocrat Yes, the warranty will expire in 5 years.
I'm curious if this CL comes with M275 or M279? I doubt it has M279 but maybe someone knows better than me.
Can we get some clear pictures of the front bumper and front right side of the bumper?

@Rapri From the description, it looks like the warranty is from Carmax. Not Mercedes Benz. So it expires in the Summer of 2026...five years from when the warranty was purchased by the seller.
5 year warranty from mercedes benz, when does it expire!
