This 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL600 is finished in Black (040) over Black/Anthracite Exclusive (571) leather and is powered by a bi-turbocharged 5.5-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 18″ AMG wheels, Active Body Control, a glass sunroof, power rear headrests, heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats, automatic climate control, a power trunk, and COMAND infotainment. Most recent services include a complete fluid flush, ABC service and replacement hose, a fresh transmission fluid filter, new spark plugs, and new coil packs. The car was sold new by Fletcher Jones Motorcars of Newport Beach, California and has remained a California car since new. This CL600 shows 79k miles on the digital odometer and is now offered at No Reserve with manufacturer’s literature, service records dating back to 2012, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The car is finished in Black (040) and features sculpted bumpers and side skirts specific to the CL600 as well as xenon headlights with washers, a glass sunroof, and twin exhaust outlets. The Carfax report shows no history of accidents or other damage and the owner reports a front clip repaint and refinish due to clear coat failure and fender cracking. One of the fenders was also reportedly replaced. Receipts are included in the gallery for the paint and body work.
Factory 18″ twin-spoke AMG alloy wheels wear Sumitomo tires measuring 255/40 up front and 285/35 in the rear with 2019 date codes. New brake rotors were installed less than 500 miles ago.
The cabin is trimmed in Black/Anthracite Exclusive (571) leather with matching carpets, and burled walnut root veneer accents the center stack and door panels. Amenities include heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rear sun shade, power rear headrests, and COMAND infotainment.
A multifunction steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 79k miles of which approximately 500 have been added by the seller since acquiring.
The bi-turbocharged 5.5-liter M275 V12 was factory-rated at 493 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque and sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission. The seller mentions included service records dating back to 2012 included in the sale. Most recent services include a complete fluid flush, ABC service and replacement hose, a fresh transmission fluid filter, new spark plugs, and new coil packs.
The Carfax report lists no accidents or damage along with linear mileage updates since new. This CL600 is now offered at No Reserve with manufacturer’s literature, service records dating back to 2012, two keys, a clean Carfax, and a clean California title.
When it comes to big-body coupes, the pillarless CL-class (aka S-class coupe) is always among the best in the business. From a value perspective, we can’t think of another competing vehicle that we’d rather spend the money on. The M275 V12 was a proverbial locomotive of an engine with torque for days low in the revs. To add to the allure of this CL, it's finished in a timelss color and is sure to stand the test of time against new examples and modern classics alike. Many of the examples we see today are higher mileage meaning this CL has only begun its journey. Whether it’s destined for a well-curated collection or a couple hundred thousand miles of glorious use, this CL600 is the one for the job.

My 2006 CL 65 amg had a Kleemann tune, very little noticeable difference.Also I have used this paint shop for20 years on 12 different vehicles, each was a masterpiece, as is this one!No CA car, so no tune. Passed smog 1st.Does the vehicle has any aftermarket tunedGood Fortune to all bidders. This vehicle has nothing left to be done, paint, interior suspension, plugs, coil packs, coolant refresh, ABC service, new tires and brakes. Runs exactly as the big coupe it purports to be! I will credit the buyer for any real flaw after purchase. Best wishes to the winner!Photos of records showing repair orders and services have been added to the gallery.$4,750 bid placed by @Mbmarket87

Picture 10 is the post refinish reveal. There will be zero paint blemishes when properly washed and detailed. I see the small polish deposit and it is an anomaly.Pic#31 also shows the swirl marks on both the hood and bumper. Needs to be polished properly.@stanbrooks: I can see the swirl marks/zebra striping on the hood clear as day in Pic #8 & #14. Those opaque whiteish lines, those are swirl marks/zebra striping from Cut/buff/polishing. Trust me, if I can see them in those pictures, they are there. They are clear as the day is long. Just saying. It's not easy to properly buff and polish black cars. But if you paid for paint work and the body shop did that, I'd want it properly detailed by them. Not a showstopper by any means, but they are present.See picture 10 for best representation. There are no stains or paint flaws, anywhere after front end complete refinish.Pic #40Am I to understand that the hood is not stained from hard water? Pic # 40I reviewed the Zebra stripping issue, and they are the result of a substandard wash without ionized water on a hot day. Please see photo 3 for best representation. The paint on the entire car is glorious.Not sure about Zebra stripping comment, however paint work is exemplary, with zero flaws and hood was also refinished as part of repair. This my5th M275 project and close to the finest.The photos and wash job, were not up to standard,however actual prevention is near new. The front bumper cover was refinished, not replaced..The front fenders had cracks and were repaired. The fix did not work, so I had both fenders replaced and the entire front painted and blended. See third picture in gallery for best representation. There are no swirl marks, the paint is near perfect.@stanbrooks - in you final photos, you show an invoice for body and paint work to the front end. What were the damages that warranted this work? It shows R/R/I work… we’re the hood and fenders actually painted as a result, and were they painted off the body and was the paint blended into the doors? Was the front bumper repaired or replaced. If replaced, is the bumper and associated replace parts OEM? Regardless , the paint work and buffing looks pretty snotty, especially the zebra stripping swirls on the hood. Please elaborate if possible. Thank you.$3,750 bid placed by @tdskip
All systems and functions work as specified. There are no latent pending issues.Engine and transmission mounts were replaced two years ago. Also control arms and ball joints. ABC system hose replacement included flush and rodeo balance and show no leaks anywhere.Hello. Have the engine and transmission mounts been replaced? Do the sealts work as they should? I guess is there anything that is not working as it should?$3,500 bid placed by @PCM1
