This low-mileage R230 roadster is offered with two-keys, factory literature, and a clean Carfax report showing no accidents or other damage and linear mileage updates over the car’s lifetime.
2004 marked the second model year of the R230 generation SL and this SL500 represents the classic SL experience with its red paint, garage queen low miles and a smooth naturally aspirated V8. With an original starting price of $88,500 before options in 2004, many R230's of this caliber were not used as daily transportation and more likely a second (or third, or fourth) car. This particular SL500 benefits from the classic Red over Beige combination and comes well-optioned with a stunningly low 3,830 miles creating a very desirable piece for any enthusiast. For every R230 that has been neglected and put on aftermarket wheels, there are ones like this, tucked away inside climate controlled garages in vacation communities from Palm Springs to Boca Raton. While AMG models like the SL55 and SL65 offer more sheer horsepower, a relaxed red boulevard cruiser is truly what the SL nameplate is all about.

I'm out fellas. By the time I'd pay the buyer premium and shipping cross country, the low-miles appeal of this car is just not enough to justify a mid-30s all-in price. Hope the high bidder beats the reserve and enjoys this beauty!$31,000 bid placed by @Jreed
If I owned this car it'd have about 100 times as many miles as it currently has. This is like getting a new one for a fraction of the original cost!$30,000 bid placed by @mcrowner
This car is beautiful. If I didn’t already have my 2005 SL55 I would definitely be a bidder on this car. I have had 77 cars in my 73 years and my SL is my all time favorite car. The very best to the seller and buyer. If you win this auction you are in for a real treat, these are fantastic cars.$27,500 bid placed by @Jreed

Might have to bid and hopefully win this car to convince my daughter to get rid of the R350 AWD.What a sharp color combo on this R230! I feel like you don't see many examples with this type of flair. Bravo to the current owner.Just lovely
