My 07 SL 55 Performance Package for Sale

Unfortunatly the time has come and I need to sell my 07 Opal Black on Ash SL55. My car is fully loaded with every option including the performance package. Here is a quick break down of what options I have on my car. Also the car has about 5000 miles on it.

This SL55 AMG has been equipped, from the factory with the SL65 package! Finished in Black Opal over Ash Nappa Leather with Black Ash Wood Accents, this 510 hp machine comes with options including Distronic, Parktronic, Voice Control, Active Ventilated Seats, Panorama Roof with Sunshade, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, Electronic Trunk Closer, Keyless GO, and the AMG performance package containing the AMG Compound Braking System, AMG SL65 Front Fascia, ABC Suspension, 19" AMG Multipiece wheels, AMG Alcantera Sport Steering Wheel, AMG Sport Exhaust with 4 chrome AMG tips, 5-speed automatic transmission with Manual mode $ AMG SpeedShift Technology, and a Limited Slip Differential. All that AND a top speed of 186 mph make this one FAST convertible! Window sticker over $156,500.00.

I am looking to get $131,000.00

Please let me know if you are interested

Might be a hard sell when you can have a low mile legit SL65 for that price. Nice car though. You should probably post some pictures.

Good luck.

That was an expensive 5000 miles. Why would you get rid of it after such a short period of time?

photos

As requested here are the photos of the car.... Also the reason for selling the car, time to move on to something else.... unfortunatlly when I bought the car I didn't think the value would drop this much... Move on and I learned my lesson but on a great note who ever ends up with this car will be a very luck person with a beautiful car. I will add more pictures after these post...

Thank you

Brian

Something on 4 wheels..
Just curious: You switched/painted the 030-wheels, right? Those look like ones on the SL65...

Thanks! That's what I thought. If I had to choose between a SL65 or SL55 with 030, I guess I'd pick the 55. It would really bother me spending more than 200K and knowing that an almost identical one for 50K less has a higher top-speed...

Today is the day to sell the ultimate SL55

Yeah, I know it is kinda strange how they do this with the 55's and 65's...

Ok so lets do this, I will take any reasonable offer on my car... in reason of course... Let the offers come

Tough market right now especially here in Cali

Brian

All the Real Estate and Mortgage Guys are trying to get out of leases.
And here in So. Cali. Thats a bunch of cars coming back on the market.
I have a contact at a Benz dealer and the high end stuff is slow
right now.

One suggestion. Drive it down early on Saturday to Coffee and Cars
in Irvine. Every Sat at 7:00 AM. I had a friend finally get a good price
for his "Perfect Low Miles" CL55 a few months ago. Look for his thread.
03CL55AMG. He had the same issue. Great car and too few real buyers.
He came to the show every week for like 6 Weeks. But finally got a buyer
that appreciated the low miles and all the bells and whistles on a high end Benz.

Make sure you have it in Auto Trader and if you can bear the E-Bay
experience. It may be worth the effort.

Good luck !

The car looks very nice, I love the nice contrast between the exterior and interior and the ash trim is very classy.

Its not that nobody likes SL55s.......I love mine. But that's just it, I think that the people here already have one. I'll ask around and see if we can find a home for your 030.

btw.......It's good to see that the engine builder that built mine, is still working!

Most would rather just get an SL65 for $110-$120k, because of depreciation and the slow market you'll have a hard time selling it.

When I sold my SL65 the 5k miles I put on it cost me 45k. Depreciation isn't pretty. Just keep it out there and someone will step up.

Are you getting a new car?

Maybe you should just trade it in at the dealer.

Take it back to the dealer where you bought it, I wander how much they will offer you. Or if they have something you'd like to trade it in for, they might give you a decent deal. Unfortunately, the depreciation on Mercedeses is insane... SL65's were 200k new and you can now buy them for low 100k's. Never buy a new Mercedes, especially AMG.

I also did take it to the dealer and they way lowed balled me. I just relisted the car on ebay with a starting price of $114,999.00 with no reserve. here is the listing

Market is soft for high end used sports cars right now. New car dealers are making killer offers for brand new cars, offering above market value for trade-ins.
