CL-Class

Dealer comment

*** Only 50,000kms – Australian Delivered – Deluxe Heated & Ventilated Seats – TV Tuner – Sunroof – Adjustable Suspension – True Collector Investment – & Much More

Your Opportunity:
This is not a car purchase — this is the opportunity to acquire one of the rarest, cleanest, most desirable examples of Mercedes-Benz’s golden era of engineering. With only just over 50,000kms, Australian delivered, and beautifully preserved, this 2003 CL500 C215 is simply on a level that no other car on the market can replicate.

These don’t come around often — and when they do, they don’t last. This isn’t a transaction. This is a moment to secure one of the few remaining time capsules from one of Mercedes-Benz’s most respected design periods.

The Legacy of the CL-Class:
The C215 generation was built when Mercedes-Benz was engineering without compromise — before bean counters took over the automotive world. This was the era where craftsmanship, materials, innovation, and mechanical excellence ruled. The CL was the personal flagship coupe of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, sitting above the S-Class as an exclusive, understated grand tourer reserved for those who understood true luxury.

The C215 wasn’t about shouting for attention — it was about quiet authority, with an elegance that has aged exceptionally well. Even now, over 20 years later, its proportions, lines, and stance remain breathtakingly modern.

Technology – Light Years Ahead:
When launched, the CL500 was one of the most technologically advanced vehicles on the planet, introducing features that many manufacturers only began adopting years later:
• Active Body Control (ABC) – Hydraulic suspension with self-levelling and adaptive cornering
• Full adjustable ride height and damping control
• Radar-guided adaptive cruise control (Distronic)
• Fully electric deluxe comfort seats with heating, ventilation and memory
• Rear electric roller blind
• In-built TV tuner
• COMAND navigation and entertainment interface
• Soft-close doors
• Bi-Xenon headlights
• Factory sunroof

Performance:
• 5.0L Naturally Aspirated V8
• 225kW / 460Nm
• 7G-TRONIC 7-Speed Automatic Transmission (far superior to early 5-speed units)
• Rear-Wheel Drive with exceptional ride comfort and effortless grand touring ability
• Smooth, durable, and refined — the perfect balance between performance and longevity

Condition & Provenance:
This example has travelled only just over 50,000kms from new. The condition of this car speaks for itself — the paintwork still holds its deep factory Obsidian Black metallic lustre, the Black leather cabin is beautifully preserved, and the Walnut wood trim remains rich and vibrant. You would struggle to find another C215 CL500 in this condition anywhere in the country — let alone Australian delivered, and with such low kilometres.

Investment Potential:
This is where the mindset must shift. You’re not comparing this car to anything else on the 'classifieds'. You're acquiring something that simply cannot be replaced. The C215 CL500, particularly in this condition, is rapidly finding its way into proper collector territory worldwide. They are appreciating because Mercedes-Benz no longer build cars like this. Every single year, these cars become harder to find, and prices globally are strengthening.

They can go buy another one — but it won’t be this one. This is not a car for price shoppers or tyre kickers. This is for the discerning buyer who understands they’re being presented with a rare window of opportunity.

Original Price When New: Approx. $300,000 AUD
Today you have a chance to secure a fraction of its original purchase price, with every ounce of its pedigree still intact — and rising in value.

Summary:
This isn’t a museum piece or a trailer queen — this is a turn-key grand tourer you can enjoy on a weekend, take to an event, or tuck away knowing that every kilometre only adds to its story and rarity.
