The Undervalued Mercedes-Benz CL Coupe is a Luxury Car Bargain - Driving a 2004 CL500 AMG Sport

I too when click the play button, wich was my last choice but all the other videos are worst, tought can anyone believe this guy is going to start talking about the weather and the birds? BUM! Than covid-19, his girl, cocaine, guns, stripclubs, heavy metal, bad v8 vs good v8, at least he's not in real estate...he probablly knows no one trust him so he just wash the cars and the owners have to take care of oil changes.

[@humberto3369]

Very hilarious the way he referred to his friend as a 1970's Peruvian soccer player. I am from Peru and know exactly what he meant when he said that. hahahhhah LOL

Years ago, Joan Lunden reported on a tour of the Rolls factory and the tour guide made a comment about driving a Rolls being "an occasion". My first Benz was an '84 300SD and every tme I drove it, it felt special. It doesn't feel quite the same with the '05 C240, but I'll be that same feeling comes out in the CL500!

[@donaldharvey1372]

Man I love your commentaries an stories almost as much as the car reveiws keep the history lessons going 👍

[@ChevyBM]

Those are wonderful cars, the look of a long coupe is just stunning, the interior materials, sound system, and the comfort is just insane! The airmatic can be a pain in the ass to maintain but if it has good maintanance history and you find a good mechanic that knows these they are not that expensive to own. These give Rolls Royce ride and comfort for the price of a new small car and you will be happy every time you drive one of these!

[@ChevyBM]

@Commendatore From my own experience a basic year of maintenance (with a good trusty mechanic is about 500-1000bucks.. If you want a big Mercedes on a budget get the previous model (W140 (sedan) or C140 (coupe)). Those are much better built and dont have the air suspension that can be a bitch, The motors and transmissions are really durable.

[@michaelruble3508]

Thank you, Bill. Another great tour of a fabulous Mercedes. I own a 2007 CL550. The next generation of the one you just presented to us. There’s some confusion about the nomenclature of the CL. I read CL means, in German, Coupe Leicht (Coupe Lite) or Coupe Luxesklasse (Coupe Luxury Class). I’m sure the designation of Lite has nothing to do with the weight of the vehicle, but it handles like a much lighter car. I think my version weighs in around 4,600 lbs. That’s the beauty of it. For such a heavy vehicle, it drives splendidly. Power on demand, flawless road feel, and luxury amenities that even many luxury cars do not come equipped with even today. Thank you, Bill for your videos. The world is a better place because you are in it.

[@dennisburt2410]

Thank you Bill for bringing back the "infant/toddler containment net" it was sorely missed in your previous S55 AMG video! Now if only we can figure out how to keep them from "pawing" at valuable and precious items in the trunk!

[@WilliamBati]

Bill, thanks again for this. Your research and the prep work you put into these is obvious and appreciated. You should consider auditioning for voice acting or voiceovers. There's a whole world of people who make a bundle doing corporate recordings for products and for books. I could "see" you doing the voiceover for a movie like Goodfellas or similar biographies. Also, products for the auto world itself, even being MC or judge for certain events. Good luck with that. For reference, please check out the audio book for "Fools Die", written by Mario Puzo and narrated by: Kristoffer Tabori. Your voice and your inflections remind me of him. I'm not in that business, but I have "read" tons of books and know talent when I see it.

I checked my 2006 car buyer book and that little wood console in back on the S55 amg was part of a very expensive “ 4 seat package “ that required other expensive packages. For this CL, it might have been standard or on on the 600. 2006 was a great year for most luxury cars. Very attractive designs and reliable models.

[@markcarter9476]

I've owned a CL500 for 4 years now and absolutely love it. Describing it as having sports car pretensions is pushing it, however, it is a rewarding, driver focused, ride and the ABC suspension means you just float down the road. For the money these are fantastic cars, stylish, luxurious, full of technology (for the day) and most importantly a really nice car to drive.

[@terrystratford1235]

The more I watch this vid the more I think I could own a CL! absolutely stunning example! In the uk a 2004 with 70000miles fmsh 1 owner is about 5 maybe 6 grand! A 2003 with 130000 miles 4 grand!

Oh, you say under 10K now and originally circa 90K - check ! It would be such a shame if some jerk comes along with 9K or so and buys it and does not truly appreciate it and quickly begins to wear it down and start doing awful things to 'enhance' the car .. such as window blackouts larger chromed wheels w super low-profile tires ... chrome chain license plate frames .. etc. ...and trashing the interior ... and such. YOU are the best ........ oh do I break up with your sardonic vents ... and I hope a cop does not see this and give you and electronic ticket for seeing your acceleration ! ( Kidding ...
