Mercedes-Benz SL500 R230 5.0 V8 Automatic – 2003 – 76,759 Miles – High Specification A superb V8 modern classic – reluctant sale due to a change in circumstances. For sale is my Mercedes-Benz SL500 R230, featuring the smooth and powerful 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine, automatic gearbox and an excellent level of luxury and equipment. The R230 SL500 combines effortless V8 performance with genuine grand touring comfort. With its folding metal hardtop, it offers the best of both worlds: a refined luxury coupé when the roof is up and an open-top roadster when the sun comes out. I purchased the car around five months ago as a project, but unfortunately a change in circumstances means it’s time to move it on. It drives impeccably and has genuinely been one of the best cars I’ve owned. Sadly, I now need something capable of accommodating three people. Vehicle details Model: Mercedes-Benz SL500 R230 Year: 2003 Engine: 5.0-litre V8 petrol Gearbox: Automatic Mileage: 76,759 miles Body style: Two-seat convertible with folding metal hardtop History: Part service history Specification and features The SL500 offers a fantastic combination of luxury, comfort and performance, including: Powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine Automatic transmission Electrically operated folding metal hardtop Heated seats Satellite navigation Front and rear parking sensors Keyless entry Electrically folding door mirrors Electrically adjustable steering wheel Electrically adjustable seats Dual-zone climate control Luxurious leather interior ABC active suspension A very well-equipped luxury roadster for its age, with the comfort and refinement you would expect from a flagship Mercedes-Benz SL. Recent maintenance The car was serviced in August, with the following work carried out: Engine oil replaced Filters replaced All 16 spark plugs replaced The ABC suspension is fully working, and there are currently no warning lights showing on the dashboard. Please read – faults and areas to note I want to be completely honest about the car’s condition so that potential buyers know exactly what they are viewing. Folding roof: The roof requires attention due to a perished hydraulic seal, as diagnosed by Mercedes-Benz. This will need to be repaired by the new owner. Rear tyres: Approximately 4.3mm of tread remaining, although both tyres are showing signs of age. Other than the issues described above, I am not aware of any other problems. Please remember that this is a 2003 vehicle, so prospective buyers are welcome to inspect it thoroughly and ask any questions before committing to a purchase. Viewing and test drives Viewing and test drives are welcome by prior arrangement. Proof of valid insurance and cash in hand are required before any test drive. Genuine enquiries only, please. No timewasters or scammers. I am happy to answer genuine questions honestly and provide any further information I can. A reluctant sale of a fantastic V8 Mercedes-Benz SL500. With its powerful engine, luxury specification and timeless styling, this is a great opportunity for someone looking for an enjoyable modern classic and willing to address the known roof issue. Please read the full description carefully and satisfy yourself as to the vehicle’s condition before bidding.
