Description
Introduction
For sale is our beautiful 2004 Mercedes CL500. This car is in exceptional condition throughout with only a few minor imperfections. This has to be one of the lowest mileage examples available with just 37,700 miles and this is reflected in both condition and how it drives. Being a Japanese import, it benefits from being in outstanding condition underneath.
Specification
This car cost over 100k when it was new and with the equipment list, you can see why. It features expected features such as automatic air conditioning, a watertight sunroof and electrically adjustable memory seats but also more luxurious features such as double glazing, soft close doors, a heated and electrically operated steering wheel as well as the premium Bose sound system. I have added bluetooth which works brilliantly too.
Service History
The car also benefits from a fully documented service history from Japan, which is incredibly rare, the history is comprehensive and detailed. The car has also recently had a service in the UK from a trusted mercedes specialist. A full book pack is included, along with spare keys.
MOT
The MOT is valid until 25th February 2026. There are zero concerns with it not flying through the next one and beyond.
Japanese Import Benefits
There are so many benefits from buying a Japanese import, not just the condition but also the fact the annual tax is significantly cheaper than a UK equivalent car, plus given the stringent regulations over there, cars are looked after to an impeccable standard.
Seller Information
We are enthusiasts and as such keep our cars in tip top condition, both cosmetically and mechanically. During our ownership there has been absolutely nothing of concern with this CL500. It has performed flawlessly as a daily driver. The reason for sale is that whilst this is a large car, the cabin is a little tight for me, being 6ft 6in, plus it is a bit big for the car park where I work.
Summary and Viewings
If you are looking for a CL500 or even a reasonably priced, low mileage V8, I don't think you will find anything better. The engine and gearbox are bulletproof, it has been well looked after all its life and presents in outstanding condition. Following an attempt to defraud us last year, we will not be entertaining group viewings and will not fall for the same scams we were presented with previously. This is a genuine car from a genuine seller and therefore no messers, wasters, scammers, test pilots, tyre kickers etc...
