2007 Mercedes-Benz SL550

This 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL550 two-door retractable hardtop has driven 90,291 miles since new and is outfitted with the Premium package, drawing power from a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. This SL was originally sold in North Carolina where it resided long-term until being relocated to Illinois in October 2021. Offering straight original panels, glossy finishes, and a garage-kept appearance throughout, this SL incorporates luxury touches such as Nappa leather and woodgrain cabin trim. Finished in silver over a black leather interior, this R230 SL550 is now offered with a clean CARFAX report with a clear Illinois title in the seller’s name.

The grand touring SL roadster has roots dating back to the mid-1950s and evolved through a series of platforms in the subsequent decades. For 2001, the R230-chassis launched as the fifth generation of the model. A cosmetic update was later applied in 2006 that brought a new bumper, revised air intakes, fog lamps with chrome surrounds, and a modified opening mechanism for the roof. This SL550 from 2007 is painted silver with a color-matched power-operated retractable hardtop. Features include bi-xenon headlamps, cornering lamps, fender grates, and dual polished exhaust outlets at the rear.

Aluminum 18” multi-spoke factory wheels are wrapped in tires with good tread remaining. The rear brakes pads were replaced in November 2021, and suspension architecture includes Mercedes’ Active Body Control (ABC) system.

The two-seat interior is trimmed with power-adjustable black Nappa leather heated and ventilated leather seats, matched to the door panels, dash, and carpeting. The cabin is accented in woodgrain trim on the door panels, steering wheel, and center stack, and technology includes a COMAND navigation system, Keyless Go, rain-sensing windshield wipers, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a voice-control 8-speaker audio system.

VDO instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer reads 90,291 miles, which is a true reading supported by the CARFAX report.

The 32-valve 5.5-liter V8 was rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque when new and has received consistent service over the car’s lifetime, including an oil and filter change in November 2021. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a console-shifted 7-speed automatic transmission.

The CARFAX report shows a clean history without accidents or damage noted. The vehicle passed a North Carolina safety inspection in April 2019.
