The MERCEDES-BENZ CL (1999-07) CL500 2DR COUPE 5.0 AUTO REV 02 is a large, luxury two-door coupe, rather than an everyday hatchback or family SUV. With a 5.0-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox, it was designed to deliver relaxed, refined travel and a prestigious presence, sitting near the top of the used-coupe market. mycarcheck.com has logged 1,062 checks covering 352 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars still being researched. The average private-sale valuation is £3,400, while recorded mileage averages 111,000 miles and annual use about 3,000 miles. Checks show roughly six previous keepers on average, so review each car’s history and condition carefully. It suits buyers seeking a distinctive weekend or long-distance car, not those prioritising low costs, easy parking or family practicality. Against rivals such as the BMW 8 Series and Jaguar coupes, the CL is known for comfort and presence; careful inspection matters on an older luxury car.
