Vehicle Description
When you want the ultimate in both luxury and performance, then you
need this 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL600. It's a twin-turbo V12 machine
with super-slick paint, a terrific hardtop style, and an interior
that coddles you with every feature. And while this was an
expensive six-figure machine for the elite when new, you can pick
up this modern classic today for far less.
The CL-Class will always have a special place in our enthusiast's
hearts. This generation debuted an elegant pillarless hardtop
profile to go with the flowing lines of this full-size coupe. And
this one retains that unmistakable Mercedes-Benz premium feeling
because you're looking at an example that has the kind of
impressiveness that comes from a garage-kept pampered life thus
far. The slick black paint loves to radiate the sunlight like a
dark mirror. It loves to highlight the flowing lines of this
executive-level coupe. So the echoes of the quad headlights
artfully stretch down the hood. And the rear fender gracefully
rounds upward to hide the lines of the trunk. It all makes for a
car that earned its $125k base price when new. Plus, that doesn't
even include the desirable options like the AMG package that
includes a sporty body kit and special 18-inch wheels.
The interior really lets you know what personal luxury is all
about. Beautiful gray leather and plenty of glossy wood surround
you. You have the best features like automatic climate control,
power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual front
airbags, side airbags, an AM/FM/CD/XM stereo, sat nav, and a power
sunroof. Everyone gets an individual bucket seat, including the
rear. And because this is a full-sized coupe, you can really fit
adults back there. But like any good German car, the most important
person is always the driver. The front bucket seats are 14-way
power adjustable and include both memory and heat. You also have a
power-adjusting steering column and electroluminescent gauges. All
your important controls are nicely integrated on the steering
wheel, and a modern classic means having a dash with crisp dials
and a digital information center. So it's easy to get comfortable
for the long haul.
What makes the CL600 particularly special is because of what's
under the hood. There's always prestige in telling people you have
a V12 motor, and this 5.5-liter unit turns up the power even more
with twin turbos. This fuel-injected powerhouse was advertised at
493 hp when new (in fact, Mercedes may have even underrated it.)
And a well-maintained example like this still knows how to
faithfully harness all that power. More than just the motor, the
full package was made to perform. That's why you have a
fully-independent suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes w/ABS,
and a five-speed automatic transmission. It creates a terrific
total package that gives you the flexibility for long-haul comfort
as well as instantly providing power to leave them all behind on
your favorite back road.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and the original
window sticker that shows you how expensive these top-tier Benzes
were when new. This is uptown elegance for a country living price.
So if you love power and sophistication, call today!
