THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this clean 2004 Mercedes Benz CL500 Coupe! Finished in jet black over grey leather, this handsome Benz coupe has been driven a Carfax documented 82,400 miles since new. It sports a great running 5.0 liter V8 engine mated to the factory automatic transmission, electric windows and sunroof, 20"polished wheels, heated electric leather seats, updated Pioneer audio head unit with navigation, cruise control and more. It is being sold with California salvage title, current registration and smog certificate and is a GREAT value here for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new, quickly depreciating Benz! THE BODY AND TRIM The exterior of this car is in good to very good 99.99% RUST-FREE DRY AND CLEAN CONDITION THROUGHOUT! The paint finish sports a very good overall shine with a few expected rock nicks,scuffs scratches, slightly imperfect body work on the lr quarter and rear deck lid, missing rear deck lid center lense, curb rash on the alloy wheels [two rear tire treads are worn and should be replaced]. Overall this is still one handsome gentleman's coupe! THE INTERIOR As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this 2004 Benz is in very good original condition overall. The upholstery shows some light expected wear. The a/c blows cold, the electric seats work fine with nice heat, all of the gauges work as they should with no check engine lights illuminated. The sunroof balks when opening [needs reprogramming?] Overall this is one very stately, safe and comfortable cockpit. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This classic Benz starts perfectly and runs VERY WELL with smooth, strong acceleration, crisp shifting transmission solid, secure and straight braking, responsive steering feel. My mechanic tells me the front shocks are due for replacement and are now producing a bit of vibration/shimmy at highway speeds. This is a still solid and smooth cruiser! THE DETAILS AND $$$$ 1.
