About this 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL 550

VIN: WDDEJ71X48A016348

Details

This 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL550 is powered by a 5.5L V8 driving the rear wheels with a 7-speed automatic transmission. Painted silver, this 4-seat coupe has a black leather interior complemented by wood trim and shows 54,877 miles. Outfitted with the AMG Styling Package, it includes AMG front and rear bumpers, side skirts, dual chrome exhaust, and 19 wheels with staggered-width performance tires. Other features include a moonroof, CD changer, navigation, iPod integration, and a backup camera with park distance control. With three owners, this vehicle has spent its life in Kansas.

This low-mileage CL550 presents well in the third-party photos and inspection report. The seller purchased it from a friend in 2021 and the care taken to preserve the car s originality and its condition is evident. Recommended service was routinely performed by the local Mercedes-Benz dealership and the photos of the undercarriage show it rarely saw inclement weather. The inspection notes a paint chip on the grill and minor chips to the front bumper from road wear. The sport rims show minor curb rash. The dark leather interior is in excellent condition and the owner and inspection confirm that mechanically all features of this luxury coupe function properly. The sale includes two sets of keys, the original owner's manual, and service receipts.

This Mercedes-Benz CL550 is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Kansas City, KS.

About the model

The Mercedes-Benz CL550 was a variant of the C216 CL-Class that debuted for the 2007 model year. The CL550, which was sold as the CL500 outside of Japan and North America, was a series of luxury coupes offered in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive (4MATIC) configurations. Upon its release, the CL 550 was powered by Mercedes' M273 engine, which was a 383hp 5.5L V8, but from the 2011 model year, these cars were equipped with Mercedes' M278 engine, which was a 429hp 4.7L V8. Both engines were paired to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Production of the C216 CL550 ended in 2014 when Mercedes discontinued the CL-Class. As the CL-Class had been S-Class based, Mercedes decided to return these cars to the S-Class, beginning with the C217 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupes.
