This 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was purchased new in May of 2005 through Plaza Motors in Missouri and is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Black/Anthracite (201) leather. Power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a body-color retractable hardtop, multi-contour heated seats with memory control, Sirius satellite radio, Active Body Control suspension, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose premium audio system and much more. In preparation for the sale the dealer has performed a comprehensive checkup and replaced the rollbar cylinders, front lock cylinders for the top, and the COMAND LCD screen. The Carfax shows only two owners and registration history in Missouri and Florida. This R230 SL500 now shows 45k miles on the digital odometer. It is now offered by the selling dealer in Florida with partial service records, manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features a power-retractable hardtop and an automatically deploying roll bar. Notable exterior features include bi-Xenon headlamps, lower fog lamps, LED signal markers in the side mirrors, and an aftermarket grille. The included Carfax report indicates a clean history since new with no accidents or damage reported. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery below.
Factory 18″ wheels are mounted with Michelin tires measuring 255/40 up front and 285/35 out back. The car features an Active Body Control suspension system, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs with cross-drilled front rotors.
The cabin features power-adjustable seats upholstered in Black/Anthracite (201) leather and joined by a matching dashboard, center console, and door panels. Burl walnut trim adorns the steering wheel, center console, and door panels. Additional amenities include multi-contour heated seats with memory control, Sirius satellite radio, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose premium audio system, and an OEM wind deflector. Detailed photos of the cabin can be seen in the gallery.
The multifunction wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, two inset digital display screens, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 45k miles.
The naturally aspirated 5.0-liter M113 V8 produced 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift to allow for manual gear selection. In preparation for the sale the dealer has performed a comprehensive checkup and replaced the rollbar cylinders and front lock cylinders for the top.

@Jmoss57 Ian hit the west coast of Florida. I am on the east coast. Everything works perfectly on the car. I know everything there is to know about these cars. The ABC system is fine. I replaced radio screen, one accumulator line for the ABC, the roof lock cylinder and both roll bar lock jaw cylinders. Like I said I know these cars very well. You are more than welcome to have it inspected.Found the link to the carfax. Has the vehicle ever flooded and most importantly did it take on water during this last hurricane Ian? NoIced the battery has been replaced at least 3 times and the electrical system has been checked at least 5 times in the carfax report. Are there any current problems with the battery/electrical system? Also noticed the Automatic Body Control system does not look like it has been serviced by MB. Are there any leaks or problems with the ABC system? Are there any mechanical problems with the vehicle? Does everything work on the vehicle as designed?@Jmoss57 I would need a email address to send it.Can you send me a link for the car fax report.These are aging really well, the new SL just doesn't capture the class like the R230's.$5,250 bid placed by @Jmoss57
