This 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550 was sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Westchester, PA for $106,145 where it remained through 2014. The car is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic (775) over Red Nappa Leather (807) and powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Features include the Premium 1 Package, Trim Package, Voice control, Parktronic, Panoramic folding Roof w/sunshade, Keyless-Go, Bluetooth connectivity, multicontour seats, bi-xenon headlamps w/cornering illumination, and a premium Bose sound system. Service since 2020 includes new tires and new front brake pads & rotors. In 2018, the spark plugs were replaced along with a brake fluid flush and "B" service. This SL550 now shows 43,600 miles and is offered with a window sticker, two key fobs, manufacturer’s literature, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The car is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic (775) and reportedly presents all original paintwork. External features for this example include Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination, fog lamps, chrome exhaust tips, and functional hood and fender vents. All glass remains original including the rear window of the electric-folding retractable hardtop. Close-up photos of the paint, lenses, and trim can be viewed in the gallery below.
Optional 18” ten-spoke Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels measure 18x8.5” up front and 18x9.5” in the rear and wear 255/40 front and 285/35 rear Sumitomo HTR Z5 tires. The tires were mounted in December 2019 and have less than 4k miles of use. The car is equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) suspension as well as electronic stability control and Automatic Slip Control. The front brake wear sensor, pads, and rotors were replaced in September 2020.
The cabin is upholstered in Red Nappa Leather (807) with contrasting Black carpet and a Black upper dashboard. Black Ash Wood veneer adorns the center console, door cards, and steering wheel. Features include heated and ventilated multi-contour seats, Keyless-Go, a Panoramic Roof with retractable sun shade, and retractable luggage straps for the rear parcel shelf. Brushed aluminum details accent the cabin throughout. Original Black velour floor mats are included.
The Black Leather and Ash Wood trimmed four-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and two separate gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Additional features include a digital display for trip function, infotainment readout, and phone connectivity. The digital odometer currently reads 43,600 miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added by the seller.
The 5.5-liter M273 V8 was rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque when new and power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed 722.9 automatic transmission. The spark plugs were replaced in 2018 and an “A” service including an oil change and an inspection was performed by Salerno Motorsports of Rocklin, California, in September 2021, and the transmission fluid and filter were replaced at the same time.
Manufacturer’s literature and service records are included in the sale. A reproduction Monroney window sticker is shown in the gallery and lists equipment, options, colors, and a retail price of $106,145. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Pennsylvania, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, and California.
This SL550 is now offered with 43,600 miles and includes a window sticker, two key fobs, previous records, factory literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

@Coachmule Yes it's a Pano Roof with sunshade. All hardtop convertibles have cylinders. If your asking if there are any leaks, there are not.
I just sold a 2003 same color combination is the roof pano? I had 42 k miles. Does the top have cylinders ?

@JakeR Thanks for the kind comment. My black lab hunting dog from years gone by was named Jake. Fond memories.
Almost impossible to find these 550s this clean today. No question this car has been treated right. Same combo as silver arrow too which is neat

Yes Charles this is my personal car although not my daily driver. I am having to choose between this vehicle and my truck and I have discovered over the past year or so I am a truck guy.
@gossy007 Sir your word is fine. If I win and she is rotted out remember this conversation....:-) That said, if you get a chance, one or two pics is sufficient. Send one of the grandkids out..haha. May I ask is this a private sale? Personal car? I am a car dealer so it does not matter to me. Just curious. New to the platform so feeling my way around the protocol, etc. Thank you for your time. Charles
Morning Charles. I agree it's a beautiful SL and it's smooth, powerful and fun to drive, especially with the top down. I asked the photographer to try and get some pictures of the undercarriage but apparently he wasn't successful as they weren't included in the gallery. I'm 77 almost 78 and I don't get up and down so good anymore but I' going to try and get you some pictures. The service I had done at Salerno Motorworks included a thorough inspection including the undercarriage and there were no issues. Thanks for your interest.
Stunning SL. May I request a few undercarriage pictures? Thank you kindly. GLWA. Charles @ Pmcarsshop
