Making its debut at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, the R230 generation SL-Class was Mercedes-Benz’s flagship grand tourer in the early 2000s and featured an advanced retractable hardtop roof system. This 2003 SL500 is finished in Black over a Stone leather interior and is equipped with xenon headlights, the AMG Styling Package, 18″ AMG Monoblock alloy wheels, Active Body Control (ABC) suspension, COMAND navigation, a premium Bose sound system, heated multi-contour seats, and more. This SL is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Pennsylvania showing approximately 90k miles on the odometer.
Finished in Black (040U), this SL500 features the AMG Styling Package which adds a front spoiler and side skirts. It rides on optional 18″ 5-spoke AMG Monoblock alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires and additional equipment includes fog lights and dual exhaust outlets. The seller reports that the retractable hardtop has had a cylinder service completed recently and the CARFAX report notes the vehicle was reported stolen in June of 2011 and was subsequently recovered. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
