Representing the fifth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship SL-Class grand tourer, the R230 was the first in the model line to feature a power-operated retractable hardtop. Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission, this 2004 example is finished in Fire Opal Red over a Beige leather interior and features an Active Body Control (ABC) hydraulic suspension, bi-xenon headlights, multi-contour front seats with climate control, a Bose sound system, and more. Showing just over 49k miles on the odometer, this R230 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Tennessee.
