This 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was purchased new at Euro Motorcars of Bethesda, MD in April 2006 and is finished in Black (040) over Gray (208) leather. Power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a body-color retractable hardtop, multi-contour heated and ventilated seats with memory control, Sirius satellite radio, Active Body Control suspension, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose premium audio system and much more. Service within the last year includes new ABS pump, vacuum supply pump, radiator, SRS control unit, PSE pump, trunk lock actuator, trunk lock mechanism, starter battery, accessory battery, and a full rebuild of the top hydraulics with a 2-year/24k mile warranty. The seller notes that all four ABC struts were replaced at his personal mechanics shop in the past year. A transmission service & brake service were also performed. The Carfax shows only three owners and registration history in Virginia, Florida and California. This R230 SL500 now shows 89k miles; 500 of which were added by the seller over the past year. It is now offered by the seller in Arizona with partial service records, manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, one fob key, a recent Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title.

The car is finished in Black (040) and features a power-retractable hardtop and an automatically deploying roll bar. Service records indicate the top hydraulics were rebuilt in 2022 and are protected by a 2-year/24month warranty. Additional exterior equipment includes fender and hood vents, fog lights, and dual exhaust outlets with polished tips. The Carfax indicates minor damage reported to the driver’s rear corner in 2013 and the driver’s front corner in 2017. Panel gaps and body lines appear even and consistent throughout.

Factory 18″ wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact tires measuring 255/40 up front and 285/35 out back. The car features an Active Body Control suspension system, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs with cross-drilled front rotors. The ABS pump and SRS control unit were replaced at Fletcher Jones Motorcars in April 2021. The seller notes that all four ABC struts were replaced at his personal mechanics shop in the past year.

The cabin features power-adjustable seats upholstered in Gray (208) leather and joined by a matching dashboard, center console, and door panels. Burl walnut trim adorns the steering wheel, center console, and door panels. Additional amenities include multi-contour heated and ventilated seats with memory control, Sirius satellite radio, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose premium audio system, and an OEM wind deflector. Bolster wear is present on the driver’s seat and photos of the bolster are viewable in the gallery.

The multifunction wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, two inset digital display screens, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 89k miles.

The naturally aspirated 5.0-liter M113 V8 produced 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift to allow for manual gear selection. Recent service includes a new vacuum supply pump, radiator, PSE pump, trunk lock actuator, trunk lock mechanism, starter battery, accessory battery and a brake and transmission service.
