This 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL550 was sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Sarasota, Florida in July 2011 and subsequently sold to its second owner in 2018 as a Certified Pre-Owned example. The car is finished in Diamond White Metallic (799) over a Saddle Brown Leather (804) interior and powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-retractable hardtop with a glass roof, the AMG styling package, bi-xenon headlights, heated and ventilated seats with Airscarf, Keyless-Go, COMAND w/navigation, and Parktronic. Service records since 2018 are included in the sale and the Carfax includes all extensive service history. With just under 31k miles, this SL is now offered by the seller in Midlothian, Virginia with manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, complete service records, and a clean North Carolina title.
The car is finished in Diamond White Metallic (799) paint and features sculpted bumper covers and side skirts as part of the AMG styling package. Additional equipment includes bi-xenon headlamps, LED driving lights, and side fender vents, as well as front and rear parking sensors (Parktronic). The body and paint show without major blemish or damage and paint is reportedly original as supported by the clean Carfax report attached.
Original five-spoke 19″ AMG staggered wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires measuring 255/35 and 285/30 respectively with 2023 date codes.
The cabin is finished in Saddle Brown Leather (804) accented by Burled Walnut Veneer across the door cards, center console, and steering wheel. Amenities include a power-raising roll bar, heated and ventilated multi-contour seats with Airscarf, Keyless-Go, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Homelink universal garage door opener, and the original COMAND infotainment system with Harmon-Kardon sound. The leather shows very nicely with no creasing or tears and detailed photos are viewable in the gallery.
Dual gauge binnacles house a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and a digital odometer showing just under 31k miles. Ancillary gauges show coolant temperature and fuel level while the LCD display shows trip, media, navigation, and cluster settings.
The 5.5-liter M273 V8 was factory-rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed 7G-Tronic automatic transmission with a manual shift mode that can be operated via paddles on the steering wheel or through the speedshift option on the shift lever. The included Carfax report shows extensive and consistent dealer service with regular oil service intervals noted, and physical records since 2018 are included with the car.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists linear mileage updates since new, along with extensive service records and safety checks. This SL is now offered by the current owner in Virginia with manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, two keys, and a clean North Carolina title.

Hello! I wanted to address a few comments concerning the servicing of the car. I am unsure as to why the service history lists having two tires replaced. The car has four Michelin tires with very nice tread. I am representing the car for a friend of mine. I will have the A service completed by the local dealer for whomever purchases the car. I do not have the original window sticker, only the Certified pre-owned window label.$12,500 bid placed by @Johnmbritton

MB8605: gotten any response to your inquiries??SELLER: still waiting to hear from you re: see the carsent you message on message to seller. Would like to see vehicle. TerryBHello Benzkid, Write up states tires have 2023 date codes so presume all tires have 2023 date codes, only 2 are showing as new on CarFax, please load invoice showing 4 tires have 2023 date codes as you mentioned tires were replaced due to dry rot.. Repeat - Do you perhaps have the original wondow sticker ? Understand you have a VMI from MB but there is much more information on actual invoices therefore previous request: " Please post ALL invoices of service records since 4/23/2018 at 9,779, I do note that was with first owner but as current owner MB Raleigh NC, should be able to oblige " Irrespective of mileage these MB's requirement are to have car serviced each year. Will you have the applicable service "A" or "B" undertaken by MB dealership prior to delivery to high bidder ?$12,000 bid placed by @MB8605

Appears I read incorrectly on CarFax 4/30/21 at 22,070 thought tires were replaced but it was four tires that were aligned and balanced - Apologies. Please advise though, CarFax showing only two new tires were replaced, invoice posted showing four new tires will sort that out. Please respond to my other questions/comments@MB8605 Hello! I have searched the service history and I am not seeing where two tires were replaced before 6,000 miles. I know that these tires were installed recently, as the original set of tires were dry-rotted. The next service (according to the car) will not be due for another 8,000 miles, as the car has been driven less than three thousand miles since it's last service. If need be, I will complete the service prior to sale. I have a vehicle VMI from Mercedes-Benz, and all service history lines up completely with Carfax. The car has never been to a shop outside a Mercedes-Benz dealership. Thank you for your interest!! Happy bidding!Hello Benzkid, Original window sticker would be great. Please post ALL invoices of service records since 4/23/2018 at 9,779, I do note that was with first owner but as current owner MB Raleigh NC, should be able to oblige. Will "A" service be completed prior to sale as will be due in a month ? Please advise why it was necessary to change two tires in two years with only 6,000 miles ? Thanks.$10,000 bid placed by @MB8605
