This CL-class is super clean and has been lovingly maintained . This CL was purchased new at Fletcher Jones Mercedes Benz in Newport Beach and my father in law was the second owner since 2006. It has been a Southern California car its entire life, never seeing snow and rarely seeing rain. One of the best color combinations for this coupe. Black Almandine with Tan Leather. The exterior color appears nearly black in low light and a deep burgundy in bright light. The wheels are original Mercedes and set off nicely with new Michelin tires.

It is loaded with EVERYTHING! Ventilated heated and cooled seating, power 14-way adjustable front and rear seating, (with memory and lumbar), heated seats, 4-zone electronic climate control, high-power concert BOSE/Harmon Kardon audio system with 10-speakers and 6-disc CD changer, power rear window sunshade, one-touch express power windows, power glass moonroof, factory navigation, illuminated vanity mirrors, xenon high-intensity lighting, rain sensing wipers, traction control, and factory security system to name the most desired. This CL500 is in great condition and is an absolute pleasure to drive.

The 5.0 liter 24-valve aluminum V-8 engine delivers instant acceleration when you want it, and behaves responsibly when you don't. The shiftable 5-speed automatic transmission makes driving enjoyable, while providing performance and control when you need it.

The exterior is in great condition. In fact, it is outstanding. The original paint used by Mercedes has been protected in a climate controlled garage at night and kept out of the sun during the day. You will be hard pressed to find a cleaner example. My father in law loved this car, and it shows. Absolutely no dents or parking lot door dings, with minor road rash and scratches, normal for a car of this vintage. Loaded with everything and it runs and drives superbly. Everything works perfectly and properly, and we have just serviced this car, including new tires, brake pads, rotors, universal pump, and all parts needed.

All this beautiful car needs now is a new home. This car has never been smoked in with the original mileage at a very low 103,600 (about 8,000 miles per year), and those were exclusively Southern California miles, and it does makes a difference! Combined with the factory chrome wheels and integrated factory fog lamps, this CL500 looks great from any angle.

The latest January 2014 NADA Used Car Guide retail value for this 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500 is upwards of $13,000 Trade-in value is actually close to our listing price. Simply put, this is one of the cleanest examples of a 2001 CL-class that you will find anywhere. And priced for an immediate sale.

I am happy to assist with transport within the Continental US, and free airport pick-up is available from John Wayne Orange County Airport. Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions you may have. My name is George and I can be reached at 714 200-5920. I will charge a $250 fee as part of the purchase to cover title transfer and preparation. Thank you for looking!

Mercedes teases a new Maybach concept convertible

Wed, Aug 9 2017

Once again, Mercedes is taking a Vision concept to the Pebble Beach Concours this year. To start generating excitement, the company has released a teaser trailer for the car, and effectively no other information. But we think we've pieced together what the car is. Let's look at the video first. It shows a voluptuous blue body. It's all curves and clean lines inside and out. It also has an impressively prodigious prow with a proud three-pointed star at the front. The interior is all white with very little detail, and in addition to chrome, there are many copper trim pieces. There appear to be only two seats, too. Toward the end, we see a strip of copper trim on the outside as well, and just before the shot changes, we can see a bit of white interior that indicates this is a convertible. So we know this is an elegant, luxurious roadster. Is there anything else we can discern? Well, it seems Mercedes may have accidentally revealed the name of the car, or at least what it's based on. The video's file name includes the words "Maybach six." That happens to be the name of last year's Mercedes-Maybach coupe concept. On top of that, there's a striking resemblance between the long, flowing hoods of both cars. So it seems like a pretty safe bet that Mercedes will show the convertible version of that car, which was 18 feet long, and produced 738 horsepower from a quartet of electric motors. We'll find out if we're right when the car is revealed at Pebble Beach.

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.

Mercedes-Benz pickup could come to US

Tue, Apr 7 2015

Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon says the brand has until the end of the year to decide whether to bring its upcoming midsize pickup truck to the United States. "We said to Stuttgart, 'We are open, and let us assess the market.' If that leads to us saying 'green light,' then we will bring it," Cannon said to Automotive News. Mercedes-Benz Vans is leading the pickup's development, and the company's official announcement said the truck's intended markets are Latin America, South Africa, Australia and Europe. The vehicle is expected to launch by 2020. The company might take advantage of some of Nissan's truck expertise on the project, but that's not decided yet, according to Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. However, if the Mercedes pickup makes it to the US, it wouldn't be the same utility-oriented model as for the rest of the world. Instead, Cannon indicates that the truck would be adapted to fill a more luxurious role in the lineup and wouldn't be limited to dealers that sell vans. "For a Mercedes-Benz household that has a lot of stuff or a lot of kids or they want to tow the boat - we could offer something to customers who are already luxury-predisposed," he said to Automotive News. Keep in mind none of this is set in stone, and Mercedes doesn't have to offer the model here because "officially it was approved without US volume," Cannon said to Automotive News. He thinks the truck would be a niche vehicle and sales might only be around 10,000 units a year. With pickups among the leading segments in transactions over $50,000 in the US, the market could still be the right fit for the traditionally high-end German brand. Related Video:
