As an owner of a 09 SL63 AMG I would like to add my thoughts. I love this version of the R230 platform in Mars Red with extra bits such as the AMG sports package/rear spoiler (which I could not find in the 2009 SL brochure), MB car cover, MB front license frame, etc. This car needs to be purchased by someone who will put miles on it. More miles, more appreciation for what it can do. The difference between an SL550 and an SL63 will not be noticed by 98% of folks at car shows, valets at the local steakhouse, at the Golf club - or by the new owner unless they want to track it or are looking to accumulate speeding tickets. The upside is it should be easier and less costly to maintain than an SL63. Virtually in new condition that originally sold for almost 3X the median US vehicle price -- with a current bid about 1/2 the median vehicle price today. The market should correct this over the next 24 hours. The wind screen works best by itself without the roll bar up. Best wishes and bid with confidence.
@Robertlnm Thank you for seconding my thought. That being said, the part can be replaced and should not negatively impact the bidding for this vehicle in any meaningful way. The mechanic who who works on my 09 SL63 AMG drives a similar year black S430 and has commented to me on how much he likes his vehicle. I value his opinions.
Any idea of the cause of the discoleration of the dash around the light switch in photo 159? Was this part replaced?
@Marignan75 Thank you. I will be following this auction and doing a bit of research as to what is needed to transfer a French title to a Spain title.
Love this vehicle. We will be biuying a home in Marbella Spain later this year. This would be a perfect car to have there and use while in Spain/Europe - so as to not have to ship my SL63 AMG from the US. Someone will be purchasing a spectacular and rare vehicle. Just too soon for us. Best wishes to the Seller.
@ferrari1971 Thank you.
Is there any other documentation tying this vehcile to the Friedrich Flick family? Any idea if the bio degradable wiring harness has been replaced? Nice to see a W140 that is not black.
