pgt_ftw bid $36,000

The car couldn't be any "newer" yet the elastomer strut top donuts look to have started to crumble. Seem to be so on every single one of these (including mine). Beautiful spec and watching closely how this one goes
Wow....amazing condition. Would love to drive this across town for a manual swap but seems sacrilegious at this point given the time traveler nature of this example.
Love these. I wonder how hard it would be to update to the three spoke steering wheel from the refresh
@Showcase78awesome, thanks. I'm always extra wary of quick changes of hands but in this case, it's actually a benefit I think
Any details on Owner 2? Looks like a dealer flip to an auction or a dealer employee given how little it was driven and quick sale. Local and interested
What local Mercedes mechanic do you use? (I've seen your car at Intersport and Ashburn Euro)
Factory chrome option or done aftermarket? Also, is that as clean as they get inside or didn't do any deep clean for the auction?
Well bought! I really would have loved to snag this but still sorting out my 2008 CL600 and would have been smothered in my sleep by my very patient and understanding wife had I brought him a second. @JohnSimpson - Mercedes leather adhesives on this era of cars leaves a LOT to be desired. My door panels have similar issues and Alex @ Legit Street Cars has documented the dash replacement on his similar vintage AMG GT. There's just no getting around it due to manufacturer issues of the time; not if? but when even if you find a perfect car. Mine has less miles than this CL65 and has always been garaged but lived in SoCal, Las Vegas and Boca Ration. Tradeoff is zero salt exposure (which is a benefit)
Looks amazing (and local to me). GLWS.....I've always loved these
@munichero - yep. I turn mine off at startup. If I need it when parking, I turn it back on. Mine is a 2008 CL600. I get the four red dot error which corresponds to the ceiling sensor which made me think it was a bad module vs bad bumper design.
The paint on these is just stunning. I was watching the other…amazing to see two go back to back. Also nice to see DC Motorwerks saw it last; they’re the experts on these. Also interesting on the PDC issues; same issues on mine and thought I had a bad sensor vs bad design
Holy smokes. I don’t have a car to put these on but would love to remedy that just to enjoy these
Thank goodness this has boring beige leather or I’d have to bid (which my wife wouldn’t like unless I sold my same year CL600)
Amazing car. The bright white and black details are stunning.
Is replacement rear glass not available?
Beautiful color outside. Understated yet not the boring Black/Silver/White you typically see
