Rare 2005 SL65 AMG Alabaster White w/ 3.5 yr FWS Platinum Warranty in CA

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here, but I've been around bimmerforums.com and m5board.com so members on there can vouch for me.

I absolutely love the car. Unfortunately I need to sell it as I want to improve my debt to income ratio for some real estate investments I want to make. I'll probably buy another SL65 in the near future...I hope to find another alabaster white.

I don't have the pics on this computer since I'm on business travel at the moment so here's the CL ad for now.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/4062033480.html


2005 Alabaster White SL65 AMG.

Originally $190+k, asking $51,000

Immaculate condition with only 39,000 miles w/ FWS Platinum bumper to bumper warranty. Trust me, if you are going to buy a car like this, you WANT the warranty. It will pay for itself in spades and have receipts to prove it.

No Curb rash on any of the wheels. Weather seals all replaced (they can get old over the years) so no leaks.

ABC and Transmission service all done in the last 2-3 weeks.

Needs nothing.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Friendly bump.

Beautiful car. Absolute blast to drive w/ no worries w/ the warranty and very low cared miles.

Completely stock, never abused...only selling cause I'm looking to make a real estate investment.

Future owner will be very very happy with this SL65. Needs nothing but a loving owner.

Thanks for the kind words!

The CL pics don't do it justice. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but here are some better pictures:







































Cheers,

Now that the weather is nice, reopening this thread

I've moved to Seattle. Now only asking 51,000 for an immaculate car that needs absolutely nothing.

Blast to drive, with a 3 yrs of worry free platinum warranty!

Sorry for the slow reply, just got back from a wedding trip.

Lowered to 49k which is the kbb price. Basically throwing the Warranty in there, which is $$$ and still has 3 years in it.

Mileage is now 39,250 miles.

Friendly bump.

Forgot to mention can have an OETuning setup if so desired.

Also latest pics.

New layer of leather protectant, clay bar, Glaze, Sealant, Wax.

When I park it outside, I keep a fitted sun shield as to protect the leather dashboard nice and non-cracked as well.

Only 39k miles on it.

Thank you for looking and all the kind comments
