2006 sl500
Member help, please

I've just become the proud owner of a 2006 sl500.
It's a stunning red color and has just 42k miles. My problem is I don't know exactly what I have. There are no AMG markings on the body exterior but the sills say AMG as do the seats. There are 4 exhaust ports. The rims are aftermarket so they are no help.
Will my vin number help me?

Assuming that you have the naturally aspirated M113, you probably have an SL500 with a couple of SL55 parts. VIN will clarify.

Go online to a vin decoder.
Type your vin in and it will show you exactly what you have.

This decoder will give you the “as built “ configuration of your sl. Agree with MikeJ previous owner modification.
