If any of our readers are in the market for a Benz but don’t want to break the bank, the 1999 CL600 above could be an option — it has an asking price under $7,000. And if you happen to be a fan of the Buccaneers, Raiders, or The U, you’ll be happy to know this was Warren Sapp’s ride back in his heyday.
What was Warren up to back in 1999? Oh… he just recorded a 12-plus sack season, made his third straight Pro Bowl, and won Defensive Player of the Year. As for the car, the current owner says Warren was so infatuated by it that he named his daughter after it (via eBay):
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR! IT HAS ONLY 81,000 ORIGINAL MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2011 AND HAVE MAINTAINED IT TO THE UTMOST STANDARDS. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS GORGEOUS CAR, IT RUNS PERFECTLY AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW BY WARREN SAPP, THE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER (Tampa Bay Buccaneers & Oakland Raiders). IT IS SAID THAT HE LOVED THIS CAR SO MUCH THAT HE NAME HIS FIRST DAUGHTER “MERCEDES SAPP” (true story).
No idea if the story is actually true, but his daughter is named Mercedes so yeah… it’s possible.
Additional details on the car:
EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. IN THE 6 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY AND BABIED – ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT – NEVER SMOKED IN! I HAVE 8 CARS, 5 OF WHICH ARE MERCEDES AND I JUST PURCHASED A NEW S550 SO THIS ONE HAS TO GO. SHE WILL BE MISSED.
