Nearly 500 horsepower. Over 500 ft-lbs torque. 0-60: 4.3 seconds.   1/4 mile: 12.38 seconds. Top speed: 155 MPH,  electronically limited. Delimited: 187 MPH.   70,791 miles. (half the industry average) The Owners' Note Every  Wednesday I attend a small specialty auction at Carmax  here in Las Vegas. The vehicles there are recent trades  and direct purchases from the original owners either  from here in the Las Vegas or from Southern California  Carmax locations. Carmax has a policy that states  if a car is 9 years old or older (no matter what the  miles are, low or not), has been modified, or is newer  and has over 100k miles, those cars must be sold at  their dealer auction only. These cars are not available  to the public direct. So, I get a list of these cars on  Tuesday and head down to look over the inventory for the  cream of the crop. I am very exclusive with what I  choose to buy. I specifically look for cars that were  obviously extremely well cared for to a degree that may  be classified as anal retentive. I look for rarity and  those cars that are hard to come by (or at least hardly  ever see) but they all have to be EXTREMELY unique in  quality and condition. The car must give me that feeling  that it's a One Of A Kind. When you look close at this  car, you'll see what I mean. So,  if you were to line up all five hundred 2003 Mercedes Benz  CL55 AMGs  in the US, this car would be in the top 10 percent in  it's line up for function and condition. In other words,  good luck finding one that doesn't need anything  addressed, fixed or when you get it, you'll shoot it  right over to your shop for a shocking repair bill. I  want this car to be bragged about and if you are the  winner of this auction, you will be proud to own her.  She is that nice. available dates/mileage/service history 4-03 compliance label build date 4-16-03 Sindelfingen, Germany - vehicle  assembly date 7-23-03 California DMV - Manhattan Beach 95 miles 7-30-03 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - pre-delivery inspection,  paint protection, tires checked, wash/detail 8-21-03 California DMV - Manhattan Beach 8-31-03 California DMV - Manhattan Beach 2-6-04 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - steering/suspension  checked, wash/detail 5-4-04 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - alloy wheels installed,  tires checked 4-21-05 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - two-tires installed,  recommended maintenance performed 3-4-06 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - fluids,  drivability/performance checked 4-27-06 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - steering/suspension,  drivability/performance checked 7-6-06 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - airbag system,  drivability/performance checked 9-13-07 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - emission test,  maintenance inspection, electrical system, air  suspension, tires and seat belts checked,  pre-delivery inspection, new front brakes,  wash/detail 23,909 9-15-07 on-line listing - vehicle  offered for sale 23,912 9-23-07 Mercedes-Benz Certified  Pre-Owned Dealer - vehicle offered for sale 23,917 9-23-07 Mercedes-Benz of South Bay -  Torrance, California - vehicle sold 10-23-07 California DMV - Thousand Oaks 10-25-07 California DMV - Thousand Oaks 11-2-07 California DMV - Thousand Oaks 11-6-07 California DMV - Los Angeles 26,231 11-30-07 California DMV - Los Angeles 12-4-07 California DMV - Los Angeles 12-12-07 California DMV - Los Angeles 2-19-08 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 29,995 6-11-08 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 34,175 12-9-08 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 38,517 2-6-09 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 39,174 3-17-09 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 5-6-09 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 40,866 8-2-09 California emissions - Los  Angeles 42,713 10-26-09 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 46,176 4-14-10 Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills -  Beverly Hills, California - vehicle serviced 52,464 1-5-11 California emissions - Los  Angeles 58,972 1-30-11 California DMV - Laguna Niguel 59,020 2-18-11 California emissions - Los  Angeles 59,582 3-30-11 California DMV - Laguna Niguel 4-4-11 California DMV - Laguna Niguel 7-1-11 California DMV - Laguna Niguel 7-13-11 California DMV - Laguna Niguel 4-24-12 California DMV - Laguna Beach 7-10-12 Mercedes-Benz of Henderson -  Henderson, Nevada - new tires, new brake fluid,  maintenance inspection, recommended maintenance  performed 69,074 7-17-12 Nevada emissions - Henderson 69,262 7-20-12 Nevada DMV - Henderson 8-29-12 Mercedes-Benz of Henderson -  Henderson, Nevada - vehicle serviced 69,559 10-3-12 Carmax - Henderson, Nevada 69,721 10-11-12 A-Best Auto - Henderson, Nevada  - new headlamp bulb 10-31-12 current 70,791 Supercharged 493 horsepower engine,  5-speed automatic, AMG 8-piston front/4-piston rear disc  brakes with massive 14.2-inch front/13-inch rear  cross-drilled rotors, traction/stability control and Active Body Control puts the  CL55 ahead of most "sports" cars, in a drag  race and on the twisties. No accident  history, no hits, no fixes, everything works, nothing is  broken. Projector beam HID headlamps, 4-wheel  automatic leveling, AMG sculpted air dam/side skirts/rear  apron and high pressure headlamp washers. The Mercedes CL-class rides  on an S-class platform minus 8-inches in wheelbase, with the  4-light face of an E-class. The same thundering engine  in a smaller, 2-door hardtop. Trunk powers open and  closed.                                                                         20-inch AMG "Styling 4"  2-piece wheels are wrapped with Nexen UHP rubber; 285/30  rear, 245/35 front.                                                                         The electronic 5-speed  automatic is programmed to shift 35% quicker than a  regular CL. Skid-pad grip is an astounding .91g.   Pillar-less hardtop design has sleek, open-air look and  feel with windows down.                                                 10-way power seats with active massage are  ventilated air conditioned and heated. Power  tilt/telescopic steering, powerful Bose audio with  subwoofer/cross-over/equalizer, navigation, voice  recognition system and AMG design electro-luminescent analog  cluster are just a fraction of the incredible list of  equipment this thrilling car has . . . The good news; you get to enjoy all this  decadence much like the original buyer did when brand new.   Power rear window shade, stainless AMG door sills and nary a  rip or tear to be found. Everything works.                                                                                                                                                 5.5 Liter SOHC Supercharged V8 Engine                         493 horsepower @ 6,100/516 ft-lb torque @  2,750 - 4,000 RPM                                                 Never driven a car with 516 ft-lbs of  torque? Like Mezcal, it is not for the faint of  heart. When the courage finally comes and you  think you're ready for the worm, an ocean of neck  snapping giddyup awaits with the subtlety of an armed  robbery. As frightening as it is thrilling, this  beast maintains over 500 ft-lbs of torque from  2,750 all the way to 4,000 RPM.                                                 With just under 500  horsepower, the CL55 will blast through 60 MPH in 4.2  seconds. The quarter mile happens in a blistering  12.38 seconds.                                                                         Perfectly clean and dry undercarriage. 2.75 inch 4-cat, stainless  steel exhaust has distinctive, muscular note other AMG  owners will recognize. Old school, full dual exhaust (with  cross-over) from engine to rear bumper.                         VIN Decode: WDBPJ74JX3A037514 country W Germany manufacturer D Mercedes-Benz type B passenger car model or series P C215 (CL class 2000 - 06) body style ?
