Brief W140 History:

After the enormous success of the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class, the company had a big task on their hands of building a car that was even better than the old. The W140 chassis S-Class was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991 and production starting in May of 1991. The new 5.0 liter DOHC V8 engine produced 315 hp and was given the title as, one of the greatest engines ever made. The legendary “Pillarless Coupe” design continued into the new C140 Coupe. The elegant new Coupe’ was introduced in October of 1992 and quickly became one the motoring world’s most elegant and desirable GT cars. The W140 S-Class cars are known as the last “over engineered” vehicle to come from Mercedes-Benz. Features such as double-pane window glazing, pneumatic doors and trunk, power windows that recognize objects in the way, parking assist and many other features no other vehicle offered at the time. The 140 S-Class continued through model year 1999 and was then replaced by the new W220.

Vehicle History and Condition:

This CL500 Coupe’ sold new to its first owner on December 18, 1998 by Mercedes-Benz of Encino, California. The vehicle lived in California until April 2014 when it was sold to the second owner with 35,000 documented miles.

The Ruby Pearl Metallic paint is all completely original and in exceptional condition. There are no dents, dings, scratches (the very few that exist were professionally addressed using M-B touch-up paint), no damage or rust anywhere on the body of the vehicle.

The original Mercedes-Benz wheels are in excellent condition (1 has minor lip blemish) and still have a beautiful factory shine to them.

The interior of this CL500 is gorgeous. It shows almost no signs of wear anywhere on the seats, carpet, wood or dash.

All of the electronics work on this vehicle. All of the interior, exterior and dash lights are working as designed, the self-leveling HID headlights are operating as designed, the seat belt arms extend and close as they should, all the windows, mirrors, seats, steering wheel, locks, pneumatic doors, truck, power antenna and power sunroof are all operating correctly.

The remote key-less entry system is functioning as designed and the heated seats are warming as they should.

The park assist both front and rear is also in working order.

The AC blows cold on all of the fan speeds and the heater is blowing hot.

The original Mercedes-Benz Bose Stereo is operating as it should including the CD changer.

The engine starts right up and idles superbly. It does not smoke and there are no leaks of any kind. The vehicle has just received servicing as detailed below. The vehicle runs and drives exceptionally well and shifts smoothly through all of the gears.

The steering and suspension are nice, tight and precise and free from any issues.

The brakes feel excellent and do not give any fade or squeaking.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a very rare and exceptional Mercedes W140 Coupe’. The vehicle is fully documented from brand new and has only been in the care of two owners since new covering only 45,200 miles. Models like this with low miles, excellent condition and all service history are becoming harder and harder to find.

The vehicle has never been involved in any kind of accident and comes with clean and clear Carfax and AutoCheck reports, and a clean and clear Title.
