The stunning Mercedes Benz CLS550 combines the sportiness of a two-door coupe with the practicality of a four-door sedan, making it highly desirable amongst affluent executives in Japan.

When introduced in 2004, its sleek, coupe-like styling with big grille, long hood, low sloping roof and bold tail lights was so popular that Audi, Volkswagen and Jaguar came out with similar-looking models. The second-generation CLS550, launched in 2012 with more aggressive looks and better all-around performance, left the competition even further behind.

Its fast 4.7-liter, direct-injection, twin-turbo V8 engine pumps out 402 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 443 pounds-feet of torque at 1,800 rpm to propel you from zero to 60 mph in about 5 seconds flat. Even when you press the pedal to the metal, there is no perceptible turbo lag.

The smooth-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission provides a Sport mode for sportier acceleration and a stiffer ride. You can also press “M” to manually shift gears via steering-wheel-mounted sequential sport shift paddles. Fuel efficiency is a solid 25 mpg on the highway and 16 mpg in the city.

Handling is quick and predictable, with excellent grip around serpentine curves and an extremely smooth ride thanks to a standard Airmatic air suspension that adapts to road conditions to deliver maximum comfort. An electronic stability system and traction control are also included.

The lavishly appointed interior is extremely comfortable, with stylish curves that complement the exterior. Its luxurious leather seats keep you refreshed on long journeys and provide solid support during spirited driving. The driver and front passenger enjoy all the spaciousness of a mid-sized sedan with great visibility, and the rear seats comfortably accommodate two.

Electric power steering offers linear response and ample feedback, while highly fade-resistant disc brakes with standard ABS and brake assist take you from 60 to 0 mph in about 106 feet.

The ride is quiet and the craftsmanship is top-notch, with genuine walnut panels, solid switches and controls, high-quality soft-brushed metallic trim and an impressive fit and finish. There are also plenty of storage compartments and ample cargo space, including a generously sized trunk.

Safety features include 9 standard airbags and a dozen advanced driver assistance systems that help with parking, staying in your lane, monitoring blind spots and more. If the Pre-Safe system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it closes the windows, tightens the seat belts and adjusts the seats to maximize occupant protection. Extremely high crash test ratings further heighten peace of mind.

This pearl 2012 CLS550 Mercedes Benz with handsome gray interior and wide-ranging amenities is one beautiful machine. It’s easy to imagine the previous owner — who kept it in near mint condition — will miss it for years to come. Once you’ve fallen in love with the styling, comfort and performance of a CLS550, it’s hard to settle for anything else, especially from other makers. Everything just feels right and makes you feel right about yourself.

It makes sense to import your CLS550 directly from Japan, where some of the world’s best deals can be found through owners, specialist dealers and auctions offering over 50,000 vehicles every week. Japanese tend to take exceptionally good care of their cars and upgrade often, providing fantastic opportunities for secondhand car seekers.

Japan Car Direct can help you find exactly what you are looking for through its vast experience and connections in Japan. German luxury machines with left or right hand drive, exotic Italian supercars and high-performance JDM models of all kinds can all be found at much better prices than what is available through your local dealers.

Our professional staff simplifies the entire process from finding your car and getting it thoroughly inspected to purchasing it at the best possible price and having it shipped to your nearest port. We look forward to hearing from you soon and delivering total satisfaction.

  I can't recommend JCD enough. Mathew was a fantastic person to work with. As a newbie to the Japanese auctions, I was quite naïve and had far too many questions. Mathew was kind, knowledgeable, and patient through the entire process. My Minicab arrived last week and I am quite pleased. I would not hesitate to work with Japan Car Direct again in the future. Thank you Mathew!! Jay A.

  IF YOU ARE OVERLY CAUTIOUS READ THIS I am over the top and I am aware of it. Matthew probably should get an award for dealing with me. I dig into everything and am used to fighting for fairness at auto auctions here in the USA - we own a small dealership. Early into my fist purchase (of many) Matthew earned my trust. He’s a rare breed: a true professional and exceptional at what he does. The world NEEDS more like him in every industry. Matthew is one of our most valued partners now, as we strive to bring JDM to Rochester and the Great Lakes. I’m a tough case, I openly admit, but he worked through my caution and I’m now very happy to purchase through him. Call me if you want, I’ll recommend Matthew to anyone. Drew

I dig into everything and am used to fighting not to get taken at local auctions (I own a dealership and believe strongly in integrity). Early into my fist purchase (of many) Matthew earned my trust.

  I always wanted a Land Cruiser ! Mathew helped me find 2 beautiful trucks from the Japanese auction. Had them delivered to Freeport, TX last week. He was amazing to work with. Fast response time on bids, super easy to work with, he has a lot of experience and answered all questions promptly. Will be working with JCD more in the future to purchase more vehicles !

  Very pleased with my experience with JCD. Mat helped me with my purchase of a Honda Beat and its shipping to the port of Baltimore. Everything was seamless and I would (and already have) recommended this company to several friends.

  I just wanna thank Matthew and the whole team at Japan Car Direct, they always went above and beyond in making sure their clients are always happy and informed about the vehicles they are purchasing. I am still in the buying process but so far 5/5 definitely. I’ll keep everyone posted when I do find a car!

  Do yourself a favor, call Mathew at Japan Car Direct. Let him take the worry about doing business over seas off your plate. Not knowing anything about importing vehicles from Japan, I spent countless hours studying and trying to figure it all out. The headaches were too much! After Mathew walked me through the process it was a piece of cake. We've already bought a couple and are now buying more with complete confidence. Thanks guys, much much appreciated.

  Can not recommend these guys enough. I dealt with Matt, who was extremely helpful and patient with all of my stupid questions. The way they have the whole process is so convenient, especially with the live video translations of the auction sheets. I will absolutely be returning to them in the future.

  Trustworthy group here! They made it easy from point a to b. So glad this was the first group I tried as I have heard horror stories about the import process. Highly recommended.

  Yoshi and team were patient in helping me find the right car (green 2016 Prius 4WD) and get me through the process. Flawless service, prompt response to communications, on delivery the car was better than expected, very close to new looking. Their recommended partners for shipping and entry into NZ were on the ball too. Highly recommended! Pro tip: don't mess around; decide exactly what you want, then bid to win.
