Thumbs up 4SALE RARE DIAMOND SILVER/BERRY RED 04 SL55 w/ 26K SUPER CLEAN HEAVY OPTIONS WARRANTY

What's up all. I spent over a year hunting down this combo (it was only this or Alabaster white over Berry), and scooped it up the minute I did. Anyone who appreciates this car, color & options understands that it's a needle in a haystack, especially w/ these miles.

Long story short:

2004 SL55, CLEAN TITLE, I'm the 3rd owner, it's only been in CA & FL, and always garaged it's whole life (I shipped it to NY when I bought it..it lived there for about 3 mo's until I moved down to FL..ironically after having shipped it up to NY). Car is in FL near Clearwater.

26,3xx on the Odometer. CLEAN, CLEAN, NO STORIES, I had MB of Miami PPI (pre purchase Inspection-- still have docs) the car before I bought it, had one leak, the previous owner spent $265 to repair it, and I scooped this bad boy up!

Since then, I've had about $6k (thanks Acura care warranty!!) of goodies replaced, and even spent about $1k out of my own pocket (as I presumed I'd never part w/this car) to repair misc things (like the horn that honked when you turned the wheel!! haha) that MB Miami didn't catch. I have ALL receipts. New motor mounts, new shifter assembly, New S/C clutch pulley (all NEW as of last year), prior new trunk struts, etc, etc.. NOW this car is MINTY.. no issues, OH yeah, Progressive's Snap shot killed my batteries, SO I got 2 BRAND new batteries this year too!! woo hoo! ... this car is good to go!

DESIGNO (my VMI says "Magno Alanite..BUT the paint code is 762) Diamond Silver.. Interior Berry Red, Ash Black wood grain.

Panoramic Roof
Keyless Go
Parktronic
Ventillated/Heated/Massage seats.
EVERY OPTION (except auto trunk closer & distronic)
Auxurilary cable in glove box for IPOD/MP3/ETC..
EUROPEAN front impact strips
Lowering links installed, conservatively lowered.. therefore front bumper IS NICE! and crack free!
Custom RED weather proof mats. Nearly UN-used OEM mats.
CLEAR 3RD Brake light
Putting on NEW OEM front brake pads this week, along with B service being done. .. again.. I planned on keeping the car forever...
*** UPDATE 6/2014- Shardul's 83MM SUPER CHARGER PULLEY, and 2 IDLER PULLEY's, BELT WRAP KIT, AND EUROCHARGED ECU TUNE $1,500 ++ TOTAL JUST SPENT IN JUNE *** MORE HP!!

Sale does not include Monoblock II's shown, included are the stock AMG 18", staggered 5-spokes, light nicks on a wheel or two, and needs front tires.



There are the smallest of paint nicks or touched up chips (I have about 5 photos) on the car, that is the extent of the "issues" it has, and none are in conspicuous areas, as I'm a picky individual..hence stalking, locating, and acquiring this specific color combo. Almost went for a black on berry one, but so glad that fell through..SILVER is the easiest to maintain color.. as we all know. Any serious parties I'd be happy to send additional detailed photos.. but wasn't going to go crazy in this one post..

I've priced it based on a mix of Manheim numbers, in consideration with what I see private party and retailers asking.. I see LOTS of SL55's with way more miles asking the same as or more than I am (maybe because of a few mods or the likes)...AND those cars are fare more mundane color & option combos... Frankly my replacement car for this I suspect will not be as nice.. but... it is what it is..



$33,500 OBO Look me up on the forums, I've sold a HPS supercharger from m4 prior CLK430 to a happy buyer, I listed my CLK430 here, and sold numerous parts too, My ebay account has been active since 01 and I have 1900+ feedbacks.... any who... Legit seller here...and I bet I'm pickier' than you about my cars.. I don't park near anyone.. no matter how far the walk is, or how s!itty the weather is, lol..

Today must be a special day as 2 people hit me up so far. Bump. I already bought my replacement project. BTW, when everyone's best interests are to locate issues on a car, and repair them...the amount of issues found tends to increase.. This car is a low mileage, needs nothing, beauty.. don't let the fact that all involved were proactive about having work done mislead you... What that really means is more $$ in your pocket. I'm open to fair offers as I said.. not below Manheim offers, but fair ones.. I'm a fair guy..
