The first-generation Mercedes-Benz CL-Class (C140) is a luxurious two-door coupe based on the flagship W140 S-Class sedan. This final-year 1999 example is a CL500 finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over grey Nappa leather upholstery and is powered by the revered 5.0-liter M119 V8 engine. It comes equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission, self-leveling suspension, an electric glass sunroof, heated multicontour front seats, burred walnut wood trim, an electric rear window blind, a Bose sound system, parking sensors, xenon headlights, and 16” light alloy wheels. A lifelong Southern California car, it was purchased new at a Mercedes-Benz dealer in Encino and remained with its original owner until the seller's recent acquisition. Accompanied by extensive service records and the original window sticker, this CL500 is now being offered for auction with approximately 106k miles on the odometer.
This CL500 is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic and features xenon HID headlamps, a heated headlamp washing system, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming power mirrors, an electric tilt/slide glass sunroof, and Parktronic parking sensors. It rides on factory 16” 6-hole light alloy wheels dressed in Michelin Primacy MXV 4 tires from 2019. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with grey Nappa leather upholstery complemented by burred walnut wood trim. Accessories include heated 12-way power-adjustable front seats with memory, a power steering column with memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a remote central locking system, an optional electric rear window sunshade, an 11-speaker Bose sound system, and an AM/FM cassette radio. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional.
Rated at 315 HP and 347 lb.-ft of torque, the 5.0-liter M119 V8 DOHC engine drives the rear wheels through an electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes an auto-leveling suspension, Automatic Slip Control (ASR), and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. The seller states service records are available dating back to the original owner’s purchase showing a lifetime of authorized dealer maintenance. The most recent invoice shows a service performed at approximately 95k miles and recommends replacing the front struts.
This sale will include a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, a tire inflator, sales literature, service records, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “1999 Mercedes Benz CL500 final year A1 owner Southern California car with 105,000 Mi on it the original window sticker of 92,000 this car is all original and only Mercedes-Benz dealer certified and serviced with all records since day one.

@mikelaca i will ask them on monday.
Are you able to contact the MB dealer to see if they can provide a VMI report on this car? I know that helps tremendously when selling these.
That was one of the larger services, it has had oil and filter since that service and an ac service.
It looks like $5,000 was spent in 2018. Was that the last service for this car?
