This 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was purchased in April 2001 and registered in Ohio with only one owner since new. It currently shows 19k original miles and comes finished in Black (040) over Black Nappa Leather (231). Power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes a power soft top with a removable paint-matched hardtop, AMG body styling, xenon headlights, power adjustable heated front seats, Bose audio, ESP stability control, cruise control and a leather steering wheel. Recent maintenance includes an oil service, new valve cover gaskets, and a new hood pad. The included Carfax report shows 18 service records. This SL500 Sport is now offered for sale by the selling dealer in West Chester, Ohio with an original window sticker, factory literature, original wind deflector, clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) and features AMG body styling including a sculpted front air dam, side skirts and rear apron. The black fabric soft top is power operated and comes with a removable paint-matched hardtop. Exterior equipment includes power adjustable side mirrors, integrated front fog lamps, xenon headlamps and a headlamp wiper/washer system. The seller notes no major blemishes on the vehicle and the paint is reportedly original as supported by the included Carfax report.
Fitted are staggered 18” AMG Monoblock wheels which wear Falken tires measuring 245/40 front and 275/35 rear. The wheels show well without any damage or discoloration and feature painted center caps. A spare tire can be found mounted in the trunk with the original tool kit.
The cabin is upholstered in Black Nappa Leather (231) with Burl Walnut wood trim which lines the center console, and door panels. The wood trim shows no signs of cracking or fading. Both front seats are heated and power adjustable with three-position memory with the driver’s side linked to the mirror position.
