@stephenK: last picture in the gallery shows the rock chip I was mentioning. Hope that helps!
@MBFahrer No this is a different car than the one that just sold on the other platform. Funny enough with the same exact mileage which is crazy given how rare these cars are (only 20 came to NA out of the 40 made total).
@stephenK: Thanks for the compliment. Tried to be as thorough as possible on the presentation. And yes. It looks like maybe a pinecone, or something fell on the rear windshield at some point while being parked. Will try to get a better picture once I am back with the car (Thursday AM). In any case it's been there before we took delivery of the car and has not gotten worse over the past 2.5 years and 10k miles we have owned it, even in the Florida heat when not in the garage.
@Fast&theCurious, @Antiquarian, @Superseller, @570TE, @mikelaca, @Shyk1965, @dduanee, here is another chance at owning a true Mercedes Benz icon. For those of you which are local, the car can be seen in person in Marietta, GA.
Hello everyone and welcome to my listing of this 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition (only 20 in North America). I am helping my dad sell this car which he originally purchased on MB Market in September of 2023. He has enjoyed it a lot and put about 10k miles on it under his ownership. Lots of maintenance was done over the past 10k miles such as coil packs, spark plugs, Xenon bulbs, wheel speed sensors, fluids, filters, etc. as well as some general improvements like painting calipers, refinishing headlights and the leather steering wheel, 3 step paint correction and ceramic coating, as well as a brand new OEM Mercedes front bumper to eliminate visual imperfections. The car has had extensive service done prior to our ownership by a very wealthy owner (no expense sparred) as highlighted by the VMI and all the CARFAX Service entries (mostly dealer serviced). The two minor accidents on the CARFAX were there prior to our ownership and given the history and presentation of the car at the time, did not worry us at all. The latest CARFAX entry is a faulty entry. There was no accident or damage, but we did not like the physical appearance of the bumper with its CA license plate frame and holes (no front license plate needed in Florida) so decided to have that replaced at a cost of almost $5k. It was also supposed to cure some of the known Park Distance Control issues that early W221 / C216 have since they use invisible sensors inside the bumper instead of actual Park Distance sensors. For full transparency there are minor imperfections on a car close to 20 years old: some curb rash front right wheel, clear coat slightly coming off on the edges of the carbon fiber diffusor, the driver side vanity mirror cover missing, small rock chip in rear window (was there when we bought the car), front passenger floor mat damaged in the corner (was there when we bought the car but did not bother us, as most times its covered by the seat), the dynamic seats work intermittently due to air bladders being old as is common on most of these, (it is not a matter of if but when), and the very common Park Distance issues when in traffic and sensor being sent off by certain year Ford and Toyota models. Supposedly some signal interferences. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, we simply turn the Park Distance control off with the push button and it resets itself after 20-30 seconds. We were hoping the new bumper including internals and recalibration would fix the issue, but it did not, despite the money spent on it. Most MB specialty shops will know this is a common issue on W221/C216. Other than that, the Park Distance (front and rear) works great for parking, and so does the rear camera. Overall, the car looks and drives amazing. Suspension is tight, no issues with ABC, fluid clean, car goes up and down on the push of a button, sits level even after days. The car is stunning, turns heads everywhere it goes. Interior and paint are in amazing condition. Over 320 pictures in the gallery trying to be as meticulous as possible in the presentation. Two keys, tool kit, MB paperwork and books. Please also check out the video. This car is just as nice as the one that just sold on another enthusiast site - if not nicer. For those that missed out, here is your chance to get on your hands on one of these rare 40th Anniversary Editions. What are the odds of two going up with exact same mileage during the same week! I will be in the comment section all week to assist and answer any questions you may have regarding the car. For those local to the Atlanta Area, please feel free to DM me in case you want to come see the car in person before the auction ends. Happy bidding!
I am in Munich, any chance to come look at the car in person? Thanks
