This roadster is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197) with a red and gray pinstripe and features a power-folding hardtop with a panorama glass roof and a power draft deflector. Exterior features include Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist, LED tail lights and turn signals, Parktronic parking sensors with Active Parking Assist, a rearview camera, a power trunk with Hands-Free Access, Magic Vision wipers and Keyless-Go. The exterior is clean with only minor rock chips visible at the front and no accidents appearing on the Carfax report. An OEM car cover is included with the vehicle.
The standard 18” twin five-spoke alloy wheels come wrapped in a set of Bridgestone Potenza tires measuring 255/40 front and 285/35 rear. Signs of curb rash are visible on the wheels. The four-wheel multi-link suspension uses a semi-active Adaptive Damping System which offers adjustable ride stiffness.
The seats are trimmed in Red Leather (207) with black leather accents on the door panels and upper dashboard. Aluminum pedals with rubber studs can be seen in the driver’s footwell along with black carpets and floor mats. Black Ash wood trim lines the center console, dashboard and door panels. Both front seats are heated and ventilated with multicontour adjustment and include massage functions as well as an Airscarf heating system.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a configurable digital display which is flanked by analog gauges including a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer currently shows just under 69k miles from new.
This R231 is powered by a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 engine which produces 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.

No problem and happy to help. You can also tell this car doesn’t have ABC as there is no ABC fluid reservoir in the engine bay. They typically sit on the driver side just forward of the shock tower.
Thanks for the clarification!
You can look any car up on lastvin.com which shares a lot of details about a specific car’s build. This SL does NOT have ABC suspension according to the build sheet. I would also research the M278 engine that is in this car to be fully informed. It does appear some of the common engine issues have been addressed
@Blakcar1 can you confirm ABC? If it has ABC I’m not interested as the cost to fix the ABC when it goes bad (and it will) is $15-$20k. I just got rid of an sl63 that had ABC. The non AMG sl’s of 2013 would have only had ABC as an option. Great when it works but nothing you want to replace
@hpfleet Yes I’m pretty sure this SL uses an ABC suspension setup Everything works as it should No issues
Can the seller confirm whether this has the ABC suspension or not? And do all the amenities work as they should?

Good luck and let me know if I can answer any questions Happy bidding
