NICE 2004 SL500 - Black on Black with Hard Top, 2 Owner Car

The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class sets the standard for luxury roadsters. It was true back in 1954, and its still true today. Somewhere in between, we find the 2004 "R230" model, one of the most popular in Mercedes' history, This one is in very good overall condition, and it runs and drives great.

I am just the 2nd owner of this car, having bought it from my sister-in-law in 2002. It has been garage-kept and serviced by the same master Mercedes mechanic for the last 15 years.

Please look at all of the pictures and read the description completely. If you have any questions, email me through the eBay message system or call Richard at 561-350-7911.

The exterior is in very good shape - no notable dents or dings, and no rust. The car has never had any frame damge. The paint still shines all around. This is an extra-nice car for a 2004 model, but it has been driven and enjoyed, so it is NOT perfect. There are some minor signs of wear, including a scuff on the lower right bumper corner. (see close-up picture a little further down)

PLEASE NOTE: the hydraulics for the power soft top were replaced 3 years ago. The car has ben driven sparingly since, but the top is currently not working properly. Everything else on the car is working correctly. I have decided to sell the car as it is.

Please contact me if you would like more details.

Exterior features include alloy wheels, headlamp cleaners and fog lamps.

Every diamond has a flaw: As noted earlier, this is a very nice car, but not a perfect one. You can see the bumper scuff above. The picture below shows that there is some damage to the upholstery on the driver's door. These are really the only significant imperfections on the car, and they're not too bad...

The interior is very nice. The seats have no rips or tears, and the carpets and door panels are also in very good shape.

Both front seats have power controls with memory.

The roll bar is power-operated.

This Mercedes-Benz comes with a nice selection luxury and convenience features: Real wood trim; Power windows, locks and mirrors; auto climate control, cruise control, adjustable wheel and more.

The original radio has been replaced with an Alpine AM/FM/CD unit with Bluetooth.

The 5.0 liter V8 runs great. I have had this car regularly service to keep it that way. Power is rated at 302hp, and its smooth.

Mileage is 127,674

This car could be driven, so mileage may be a higher by the time the auction is over.

If you are in South Florida, I invite you to inspect and test drive this car.
