2005 SL500
FS: 2005 SL500 Black on Charcoal, 29k miles

2005 Mercedes SL500, Black on Charcoal. Non-smoker, a true ONE owner car. Low miles: 29,400 miles. $43,000 OBO

Hardtop convertible (great for low noise and increased security), from tight sealed coupe to convertible in 16 seconds.

Notable features include: DVD navigation, 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting, all power, all keys/books/accesories, LOTS of tire tread left on the Michlein Pilot Sports. Very clean CHARCOAL interior. Always garaged, never abused. This car is just in EXCELLENT condition.

Factory options: Keyless Go, Comfort package (ventilated seats with massage feature), bi-xenon headlights. Eisenmann Sport exhaust added (incredible sound befitting the SL). See videos of exhaust that I took can be seen here:

All maintenance up to date. FACTORY WARRANTY coverage until October 2009!

Beautiful car, but unfortunately you're competing in a buyer's market not only with other SL500's but with '03-05 SL55's as well.

Thanks. Hopefully, a low mileage, one-owner, still under warranty car will help set me apart. With the '05, you get all the improvements over the 03-04 (DVD nav, 7 speed tranny, nano paint, etc).

Plus the summer convertible season is almost upon us!

Soon to be Sl55 :)
From someone looking for one, as mentioned, it's very hard to compete against 03/04 SL55's in the mid to high 30K range with 30,000-40,000 miles fyi. The 7 speed and nav is nice, but I think the hardest thing to sell now would be an 05/06 SL500 out of any SL to date. Beautiful car, best of luck!
