This 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500 shows just 38k miles with registration history in Maryland and Virginia since new. Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic (775) over Anthracite Leather (201), power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-folding hardtop, Active Body Control, heated seats, a wood/leather steering wheel, bi-xenon headlights, Premium surround sound and COMAND infotainment with DVD navigation. Recent maintenance performed in preparation for the sale includes an engine oil and filter change, new front and rear brake rotors and pads, and new brake wear sensors. This V8 roadster is now offered for sale by the current owner with the original tool kit, both keys, manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report and a clean Virginia title.

Factory 18” five-spoke alloy wheels are fitted and come wrapped in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires measuring 255/40 front and 285/35 rear with 2015 date codes. The Active Body Control suspension is standard and allows for adjustable ride height and stiffness. The space-saver spare tire can be found mounted in the trunk along with the tire inflation kit and the original tool kit. In preparation for the sale, new brake rotors and pads in the front and rear were installed. 

The cabin is upholstered in Anthracite Leather (201) and features darker contrasting leather on the upper door panels and dashboard while Burl wood trim lines the center console, steering wheel, and door panels. The wood trim is in good condition and shows no signs of cracking or discoloration. Both seats are heated and electrically adjustable with three-position memory. Additional interior amenities include a leather shift knob, cruise control, COMAND with DVD navigation, Premium surround sound, a CD changer and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The wood/leather steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer along with a 7k-rpm tachometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Configurable digital displays show outside temperature and a digital odometer which currently reads 38k miles.

This R230 is powered by a 5.0-liter M113 V8 which outputs 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission. In August 2024, new brake rotors and pads were installed on all four corners along with a new brake wear sensor and an oil service. Underbody photos have been provided by the seller in the photo gallery below.
