Vandaag en mooie 2001 model gereden. 20 jaar oud techniek beter dan meest recente auto’s. Ben echt verliefd. Misschien wordt het mijn nieuwe dagelijkse bolide.
I love my 2000 CL500. I often think I should sell it and get something else but every time I drive it I think what else could possibly come close to this level of luxury and style for the money. Very cheap to buy and expensive to maintain but they are worth it.
you said that in 2004 they added a 7 speed transmission, but also that the previous transmission was not as good but isn't the previous one the 5 speed better?
Amazing car!! My dream is to own one because of the price they are today vs when they were original, The only thing that scares me is if they are workable for a normal mechanic nor from Mercedes with a service manual.. Sometimes these cars can be very complex.. But still a timeless automobile!!!👍
I have cl500.....with white interior 👍 imported from germany...first owner....i just love it..and everybody loves it....i would not sell this boy for 30k euros
@@JMSpeedshop Can someonehelp me with my cl500 its stuck in limp mode the code reads (The signal of the transmission output speed sensor is implausible compared to that of the wheel rpm)
There are 2 speed sensors on the transmission control plate in the transmission. The can fail. In My playlist of the w201 V12 build is a video about this plate . There is a possibillity this is the failure
Sorry for late comment / question. Thanks for a great review of a beautiful car. Do you recall what size the rims on that CL were please? Also the car featured did not have heated and cooled seats. That was an option and the one in the video had the basic two stage heated seats. The heated and cooled buttons have 5 little lights and not three.
@@JMSpeedshop Thank you so much for your immediate reply. That was what was worrying me. I have just got some 19 inch rims for my 2000 CL500 and was worried about that happening. I will let you know how I get on when I fit them with tyres and install them so that others may be guided in future.
@@JMSpeedshop Here are the details of the rims and tyres I fitted to my 2000 CL500 yesterday. No rubbing at all and they look great. I did have to buy shorter bolts though as the rims had thinner centre parts and I did not want to fit spacers. Rims are 19 x 8.5J with offset ET 44 and tyres were 255/40 R19.
@@13959akgvp Go for it man! Timeless design, great handling and a ton of fun for a good price. You can find plenty CLK500's under $15,000 nowadays. If you can find a reliable car-wizard there's nothing you should worry about with the 500, aside from regular replacements for your break discs/ pads. Just remove the muffler (the rumble is amazing), swap out the radio for one of those cheap aliexpress bluetooth/ android ones and you're set. Promise you will love the car. So yeah the CLK was and still is my dreamcar since about 11 years old, I plan to pass it on to my son when he's 18. I will never regret buying that car. Shit breaks here n there due to its age but repairs are quick and easy.
@@13959akgvp Dang that's a tough one. Also a stunning model. Where I live, CL's are very affordable but I have met a guy who wants to get rid of his CL63 asap. Says it turned into a nightmare moneypit pretty fast after 200K KM's on the dash, errors kept popping up every week or whatever. Check out Legitstreetcars video's on his CL65, this might give you an indication of what owners go through 😅 I say if you want a quick zippy reliable Benz (that doesn't break the bank when shit goes left), go for the CLK. Just keep it maintained properly. Keep me updated, curious to hear what you'll end up buying 👍🏽
i am currently looking at one cl 500 year 2002 amg package with 75k miles. what to look for ? What i fear is abc suspension. how to test it if everything works ? thanks
Look for body damage And corrosion also on the roof because the car is made of a lot of different material. Abc. Ride height can be changed so check that. Also if you go into the sport settings. I needs to change without a sec. To a harder ride. Also check if the struts are dry And not damaged. Try to find the Abc pump And hear if it is not making a weird noise that not supose to be there

All W220 S600 V12 (367 or 500 hk has ABC as standard, CL (W215 - all models has also ABC as standard).

Thanks. I just got one. I mostly love it. The power rear headrest function from the dash is fantastic. The power rear shade is a bit of overkill though.
+sputnic it depends what engine or edition you buy but i would go with a V8 r129 the value is going up if some maintenance is not a problem or you can do it Yourself go for the r129 SL 600. Cl500 are also good but Every wit this much options needs maintenance but don't buy the NA cl600 that is a money pit
+average joe hello smart ass !! This is not a cl55 it is a normall aspirated V8 not a supercharger. I drove a cls55. Which is having a supercharger. This one is a cl500 with a cl55 AMG bodykit And decals. But why you don't visit te website where it is for sale it is in the describtion. There you can als find the chassis number And you can check it. That it is Just a cl500 with 306hp. 😐

I own a CL 600 AMG, with a V12 engine. Imported from Japan. Yes, it is an old car, but I love it so much. I think I’ll keep it until one of us dies.

How to ruin a car for under £5. Put fake model badges on it.
Mashmarriner no shit
Fake v8 kompressor badges ruin the car just leave it with stock cl500 badges like people chucking amg badges all over a c220 diesel 😂
JoshOfficial lol 😂😂
this car draws this kind of people .. it's a real shame because they are nice cars but they just got the wrong image
Check out my 55 kompressor in my videos
I will have look 👍

My buddy had the 55 amg.the shocks went bad and a mechanic didn't torque wheel bolt, his wheel went past him at 80mph
lol,,,,,,,
absolutely dream car!the sound, acceleration, interior and shape..
hope to get own one some time..
thanks for this video!
No problem i also did a video about a cl 55 kompressor that is also very nice
You should get one.... they're fun.... annoying at times.... but a nice thing to drive 😉
There was a facelift for the late 2002/early 2003 models :)
One of the most beautiful Benz
my 2000 w215 now has 303'000..still drives better than most new cars
140,000 and doing 2,500 a month. A wonderful long distance GT.
In kilometers? Or miles?
Really beautiful car. I’m in love with it
I found a 2000 CL500 with 31k km's/19.5k miles on it. It looks really clean. Considering to get it.
That's really low Nice 👌
I'm taking one for s drive later today, thanks for being so honest with your review, great stuff, cheers buddy
+sha no problem hope your going to like it
you said that in 2004 they added a 7 speed transmission, but also that the previous transmission was not as good but isn't the previous one the 5 speed better?
Not really a difference Both are very strong. 7 speeds is Just a upgraded 5 speed . Good quality
My CL was a useless heap of metal...constant suspension and electrical problems, despite going to the main dealer with it.
Also dealers alot of Times don't know what the are doing. Find a real specialist
A competent Mercedes specialist is almost always a better bet than a main dealer, save for keys.
