This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL550 was originally sold at Mercedes-Benz of Naples, FL and is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M273 V8 engine paired to a seven-speed MCT automatic transmission. This example has traveled 34,711 miles since new with 500 of those miles added by the selling dealer over the past six months. This W216 full-sized coupe is finished in Black (040) over Cognac Premium Leather. Equipment includes an AMG Sport Package, 19″ AMG five-spoke wheels, Night-View assist, rear-view camera, bi-xenon active headlights, heated and ventilated multi-contour dynamic front seats, keyless-go, Harmon Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system, a six-disc DVD changer and more. This CL550 is now offered by the selling dealer with all new brakes and rotors, factory literature, ten-plus years of service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Pennsylvania title.
The body of this C216 pillarless coupe is finished in Black (040) and equipment includes bi-xenon headlights with Active Curve Illumination, electric sunroof, and quad exhaust outlets. The AMG Sport Package option on this example provides more aggressive body work at the front and rear bumpers as well as along both side skirts.
Staggered 19″ AMG five-spoke wheels wear Pirelli P-Zero tires measuring 255/40 in the front and 275/40 in the rear. All four tires show 2017 date codes and normal, light treadwear all around.
The interior is trimmed in Cognac Premium leather with a Black upper dash and steering wheel. The cabin features burled walnut wood veneers on the doors, center console and dash with Black contrasting carpets and headliner. Amenities in this well-optioned example include dual-zone automatic climate control, Night-Vision assist, keyless-go, heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats, rear headrests, a sunroof, a power rear window shade, and a Harmon Kardon surround sound system with a six-disc DVD changer.
Factory digital instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a fuel-level gauge, and configurable digital readouts. The digital odometer shows approximately 34,700 miles.
The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M273 V8 was rated at 382 bhp and 391 ft-lbs of torque when new and featured an aluminium engine block, sequential fuel injection, forged steel connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a magnesium intake manifold. The cylinders are lined with silicon/aluminium, and a dual-length variable length intake manifold is fitted.
The April 2021 Carfax report shows registration by two owners in Florida and Pennsylvania with linear mileage updates, regular dealer services and no indication of accidents or other damage. This example is offered with factory literature, two keys, a clean Carfax and a clean PA Title.
The early C216 pillarless coupes are among the best bargains out there for those seeking a luxurious, grand-touring coupe with plentiful power, plush amenities and a more forgiving ride than their AMG-equipped brethren. With many produced in the late 2000’s, finding an example is not difficult. Finding one in pristine condition with low miles and a desirable color combination? That’s becoming quite a feat in today’s pre-owned market mania. While some will deride these earlier, non-facelifted examples and tout the prowess of the later twin-turbocharged CL550's, they would be remiss in not noting the spectacular swell of a large displacement, naturally-aspirated Mercedes-Benz V8. These cars offer so much to the grand touring enthusiast at a relative bargain to their six-figure original MSRPs. Surely this example is one that you’ll be kicking yourself for not buying “back when prices were good”. Well, the good times are here, folks. Makehay....

A 95 E320 with over 60k miles just brought $14,500 on another site. Surely this will heat up. It’s stunning
@MRenner78 I'll never understand how people don't want the wood. It's so much classier and makes the cabin more inviting. This interior is stunning with the Cognac and wood!
Morning everyone, we still have a little ways to go, but I am confident that this awesome low mileage CL will be going to a new home today! If anyone has any questions please don’t hesitate to ask I am available all day, keep those bids coming!
Man this is a handsome example, too bad more buyers are opting for CF and alu trims over wood.

My apologies I missed that when I approved the listing. You are correct the CL was not available in 2008 with 4matic. This car is rear wheel drive only. I do not know when and where the grills were changed
Listing description mentions "power sent to all four wheels" ....is this car 4Matic? Do you know when and where the body updating took place?
$14,000 bid placed by @Gallo
The car does not have Distronic, all the grills have been updated
did the entire front end get updated? it appears to have a Distronic star, but no Distronic listed.
Tasteful modifications on this one which is difficult to do, especially with that quad exhaust set up.
Evening everyone I wanted to add some information about this extremely low mileage CL 550. This is a two owner car that has been serviced at our independent service facility and the local dealer. The car is an original paint car as shown by the paint meter readings, and the interior is in as new condition with no odors at all. The interior color with black exterior is stunning in person, there are no dings or dents and as you can see the front grills have been updated with the LED daytime running lights. Everything in the car functions as intended including the Night Vision. The car needs nothing, it is serviced and ready to go. This CL 550 comes with books, keys and first aid kit. The normally aspirated 5.5 liter V8 is a bullet proof engine, especially with only 34k miles. I am available all week if someone wishes to take it for a test drive or has any questions.
I WAS LOOKING FOR TWIN TURBO , YOUR FIRST AD WAS INDICATING AS TWIN TUBRO, BUT ALREADY I HAVE 2008 CL550 WITH 11500 MILES ON IT PLUS I HAVE 2015 CL550 EDITION ONE WITH 6500 MILES . I LOVE MERCEDES COUPES WHICH SINCE 1978 EVERY 3 YEARS I WAS PURCHASING TILL NOW. YOU HAVE A NICE CAR BUT DO NOT FIT IN MY COLLECTION, THAT WAS REASON I JUMPT OUT BIT.
@Fatameh1 jumping out quick on this one
They may stick out further than the stock CL550 however they are about the same as the CL 63 that I sold 2 weeks ago. In my opinion they look good
Absolutely gorgeous color combo. Just bought an 08 CL63 with P30 in bulk/blk. Wish it had this color interior! GLWA
Nice car. Important to note the aftermarket LED lights up front, and the aftermarket exhaust tips, with modified rear bumper. Visually they look like they stick out much further than stock - seller can you confirm?
It's amazing to me how much value a car like this can be today with an original MSRP into the six figures.
Loving the beefy wheel and tire set up on this car!

That interior is stunning! Easily my favorite interior color.
