The R230 generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class roadster underwent a facelift with more aggressive styling for the 2008 model year including a new 6.2-liter V8 engine and 7-speed MCT transmission for the high-performance SL63 AMG version. This 2009 example is finished in Palladium Silver Metallic over Red leather upholstery, featuring the optional Premium I Package, AMG Performance Package (P30), and Parktronic parking assist. It was purchased by the seller from its long-term second owner in 2022 and is now being offered for auction out of Florida with approximately 18k miles showing on the odometer.
Finished in Palladium Silver Metallic (792) this SL63 features the optional P30 AMG Performance Package which adds an F1 Safety Car-style front fascia with air extractors and 19” AMG twin five-spoke forged lightweight aluminum wheels. Other equipment includes an AMG-specific rear diffuser and side skirts, power-retractable hardtop, bi-xenon headlamps, fog lights, LED taillights, fender vents, polished quad exhaust tips, silver AMG-branded brake calipers, and a power-closing trunk lid. The front bumper was previously refinished and new Pirelli P-Zero tires were mounted in 2022 within the last 2k miles. The seller describes the exterior as in excellent condition apart from some imperfections on the front end. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features Red leather (217) upholstery with carbon fiber trim, black carpets, and contrasting leather on the dashboard, center console, and upper door panels. Accessories include heated and ventilated multicontour power seats with Airscarf neck warmers, aluminum AMG-branded door sills, an AMG instrument cluster, AMG floor mats, Keyless-Go entry, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Harman-Kardon sound system, a multifunction driver display, and a COMAND infotainment system. An AMG Performance steering wheel is also included in the optional Performance Package. The driver seat was reupholstered under the seller’s ownership.
Engraved with the signature of its builder at AMG, the hand-assembled 6.2-liter M156 V8 engine delivers up to 518 HP and 465 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 7-speed AMG Speedshift MCT transmission. The optional AMG Performance Package includes a raised 186-MPH top-speed governor, a limited-slip differential, an AMG compound braking system with larger front rotors, and an AMG track-calibrated Active Body Control (ABC) suspension. The seller indicates the fuel injectors were cleaned under their ownership along with replacements of the spark plugs, fuel filter, and battery. The cooling and brake systems were also flushed and refilled with new fluids.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, service records, a window sticker, a toolkit, an air pump, a spare tire, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for viewing my auction. I bought this car just over two years ago now and it has been a joy to own. It is truly one of the world's finest sports cars and among the last of the naturally aspirated supercars. A fantastic combination of luxury and muscle, it still turns heads everywhere I go. It is in remarkable condition inside and out and has been stored in a climate-controlled environment. I had the driver's seat cushion leather replaced with actual Mercedes leather to match the existing aerated leather perfectly. It is a thrill to drive and truly one of the best examples available of its kind in the country.”

I recently purchased a white 2007 SLK55 AMG with about the same 17K miles. What an exquisite automobile. Normally aspirated and hand built/dyno'd motor with paddle shifters. Very reliable and a head turner. An amazing car. Sorry it didn't make the reserve. This is a beautiful car. Best of luck seller.

In pictures 66 and 75 and 92 you get a decent idea of the red leather driver's seat cushion that was replaced last year.
Sorry, everyone, I was travelling and just got back to a computer. the top has no issues at all and works wonderfully. As to the driver's side leather it was torn when I bought the car, I was never told how it happened. I took it into Naples leather and they resourced the leather and replaced the cushion completely.
@TubeGuy SL63 Performance Pack came with bigger brakes. Compound just means they have aluminum hats and cast iron rotors

I had an early 20K inspection done here in Naples and they said it checked out super, no comments at all regarding head bolts. I'm not sure about the cam lobes, haven't heard anybody comment on them before in regards to this series.
No, they haven't.
have the head bolts or cam lobes been looked at?

RWK1, thanx for the question. No there is not any PPF film on the car. In pic 36 you can see the referenced puncture in the paint. The work was done many years ago according to second owner and was the result of a parking curb scrape while vehicle was lowered.
Bid in the amount of $1,000
Any PPF paint film on front? What are the front end imperfections noted in description and when and why was front bumper repainted?
