September 8th, 2023 at 11:00am ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 1Last day for this rare CL65. Thanks to all for the bids and comments so far. I invite bidders to look at all 195 images so you have a complete picture of this CL. This is an opportunity to own 1 of only 40 examples produced globally - 20 for the US and 20 for Europe. As years go by I feel this car will be regarded as one of the rarest and most fascinating modern AMG models. It will be forever recognizable by its other worldly Alubeam paint. And notable as a car with one of the highest MSRPs in Mercedes' passenger car history! It pays to refresh your screen regularly in the closing minutes of the auction so you have an up-to-date view of bidding and time remaining for the auction. Don't wait until the last minute to bid and risk loosing this extraordinary CL65. The new owner will receive the full handbook package shown, two keys, misc. service invoices, and the full factory internal VMI report. The car is being sold as-is with no warranty implied of otherwise. California residents will pay appropriate tax and license fees. I can assist with shipping via my long time broker if necessary. The car is located at my gallery in Burlingame, CA - 5 minutes south of SFO. Good luck to all bidders.September 8th, 2023 at 10:24am ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 0@570TE I did not receive invoices related to the list of servicing the seller provided me. However, the CarFax entries support the services noted. Yes, MZF did cycle the suspension through the suspension 'rodeo' via their test software and their were no issues in the system. And I've had no ABC issues during my driving.

This is a handy list, but the actual records would be appreciated. Also, did the PPI / safety inspection include a test of the ABC computer and components? Thanks!September 7th, 2023 at 3:48pm EST$40,040 bid placed by @SupersellerSeptember 4th, 2023 at 8:01pm ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 1@MBFahrer Thanks for the note. We have to accept tonal differences in certain lights when plastic bumper covers are refurbished. It's a fact of life. And the one-off Alubeam Silver is particularly difficult to match due to the fact it requires an entirely different process to paint than standard metallic paint. It has twice the metallic content of any other metallic and requires 2-3 times the amount of clear. If fact I was particularly happy with the result given the lengthy process dictated by Alubeam. The difference is very subtle in most lights. It has an otherworldly glow.September 4th, 2023 at 7:09pm ESTMBFahrer (34) 0The rear bumper is repainted, and doesn't match the rest of the car. It also appears that the front bumper does not match the paint color perfectly either?

I thought I knew more than the average bear on the “CL”s. Had no idea that they sold 40 of them at a 50% premium (albeit an already very pricey and rare car). I guess to 40 people that wasn’t exclusive enough. Very well presented and has enough mileage on it to be driven and enjoyed rather than looked at. August 30th, 2023 at 1:59pm ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 0@mbz2000 Thanks for the note. Yes, image 207 is a printout of the Monroney label's raw data. This includes all the option code numbers and attendant descriptions in addition to the paint code etc. The important codes here are the options - P97, H73, 793 and the specific price components of this special car. Suggested list price in the US was indeed $298,775. There are articles online supporting this price. Hope this helps.August 30th, 2023 at 1:38pm ESTProdigalPetrolHead (0) 1@mbz2000 I've seen a few of these 40th cars. I believe starting MSRP was 295k- should be some car and driver/road and track articles out there outling the nearly 300k sticker shock at the time. For those curious, Alubeam is FANTASTIC and the upper hides are really rich in person. August 30th, 2023 at 1:20pm ESTmbz2000 (9) 1Seller, can you please clarify pic #207 was the MSRP really $298,775? Official Maroney Sticker would go a long way for legitimacy. Thx and truly interested.
