OVERVIEW

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550 roadster has been driven 25,765 miles and receives power from a 5.5-liter V8 mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. It has been owned in Florida and Arkansas since new and includes conveniences such as a Harman Kardon audio system, a COMAND infotainment system with navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and woodgrain cabin trim. Finished in Mars Red and equipped with a color-matched power-retractable hardtop over a beige leather interior, this R230 SL550 is now offered with an owner’s manual, a window sticker, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title in the seller’s name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Mars Red body is complemented by a color-matched power-retractable hardtop. Features include fog lamps, bi-xenon headlights, vented front fenders, a trunk-mounted LED third brake lamp, and dual exhaust outlets.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Aluminum five-spoke 18-inch wheels are wrapped in new staggered-sized Landspider CityTraxx H/P tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The two-passenger cabin is furnished with beige power-adjustable perforated leather bucket seats; that same color carries through to the door panels, console, dash, and carpeting. Features include tinted windows, woodgrain accents on the steering wheel and door panels, a Harman Kardon AM/FM/CD/satellite audio system, Keyless-Go entry, aluminum door sills, power windows, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a COMAND infotainment system with GPS navigation, a digital external thermometer, a tilt steering column, and dual vanity mirrors.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer reads 25,765 miles, which is in line with the most recent figure of 20,246 miles recorded on the CARFAX report in 2020.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 5.5-liter V8 was rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque when new. The fluids were recently changed per the seller; the CARFAX report outlines additional history including service at 20,000 miles about three years ago. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a console-shifted seven-speed automatic transmission.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping power comes from four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes. Handling is assisted by Mercedes’ Active Body Control (ABC) suspension along with the Electronic Stability Program.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The accident-free CARFAX report begins in July 2009 and shows ownership in Florida through 2011 and Arkansas thereafter. The sale includes an owner’s manual and a window sticker. The seller has provided several videos showing exterior, interior, and mechanical details including the convertible top in operation.
