The seller offers for sale this 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLS 500 AMG, a luxury four-seater coupe fitted with a powerful naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine and automatic gearbox. This particular example is finished in a 3M wrap, which is removable to reveal the original paint underneath. It comes with verified mileage of 146,000 km and has its maintenance history available.
The car’s interior is upholstered in black leather, which is described as being intact and without need of replacement. Instruments and functions are in working order, and the general condition of the cabin reflects careful usage. The body and exterior are considered to be in tidy condition. The car has recently been serviced and has a valid technical inspection certificate (APK). Mechanically, the car is in good condition.
The CLS-Class (C219) was introduced by Mercedes-Benz in 2004 as a new concept that merged coupe styling with four-door practicality. The result was a car that stood apart from traditional sedans and sportier two-door models, with a distinctive arched roofline and frameless windows. Marketed as a “four-door coupe,” the CLS was aimed at buyers seeking elegance and performance in equal measure.
The CLS 500 AMG variant combined the smooth, high-torque delivery of a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 with AMG’s styling and chassis enhancements. While not as extreme as the later CLS 55 AMG, this version delivered confident acceleration and long-distance comfort, thanks to its well-balanced powertrain and refined automatic gearbox. The AMG styling package gave the car a more aggressive stance, with larger wheels, sportier bumpers, and subtle detailing that differentiated it from the standard CLS models.
Inside, the CLS series reflected Mercedes’ shift toward more driver-oriented cabins in the early 2000s, with materials and ergonomics designed to evoke both luxury and modernity. Despite its coupe silhouette, the CLS offered comfortable seating for four adults and came equipped with a high level of standard features.
Today, the early CLS models represent a distinctive chapter in Mercedes-Benz’s design evolution. Their combination of bold styling, V8 power, and luxury appointments ensures continued appeal among enthusiasts and collectors. This particular car, with a clean history, factory AMG specification, and ready-to-drive condition, stands out as a compelling option for those seeking a unique and usable V8-powered coupe.
