This 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is finished in Mars Red over beige leather and powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes the AMG Styling Package, a power-retractable hardtop, Active Body Control suspension, heated and ventilated multi-contour seats, automatic climate control, and COMAND with navigation. The car was first delivered to Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati, Ohio and spent time in Kentucky, Illinois, and Georgia before it was acquired in January 2021 by the seller who relocated it to Tennessee. This R230 indicates just under 48k miles and is offered with two key fobs, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a clean CarFax report, and a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Mars Red (590) and features a unique front spoiler and side skirts as part of the AMG Styling Package along with a power-retractable hardtop, xenon headlights, fog lamps, dual exhaust outlets, and front and rear parking sensors. Close up photos of blemishes can be viewed in the gallery below, and the seller has provided a video of the retractable hardtop in operation. The trunk lid struts were replaced in May 2020.
