Rarity and disputed production numbers

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe / CL (C140) · market

The C140 is low-production (roughly 26,000 worldwide versus ~75,000 of the preceding C126), and the final 1999 US coupes especially are rare. Actual figures are hotly disputed: long-circulated numbers of '19 V8 / 15 V12' were debunked in favor of ~777 S500 and ~180 S600 for US MY1999, while individual owners tracking VINs cite still different counts.
