2005 SL65 w/RENNtech Stage 2, 2013 MB GL550
Selling my baby, 2005 SL65 AMG Renntech!
Guys,
Bought a 2013 MB GL550 this spring and I love it and so I'm spending so much less time with my SL65 that I've decided to sell it. Here are the particulars:
2005 SL65 AMG 38,100 miles Black/Dark Grey
Renntech ECU and TCU, 690HP
Renntech Lowering Module,
Smart Top System,
Renntech Wheels 20"x9.5" and 20"x10.5" Brushed Finish
Fidelity Platinum Extended Warranty good until Nov 2016 or another 57,000 miles. Paid $7950 for it and has low $100 deductible. This alone is worth a lot!!
Renntech Carbon Fiber Air Box
Renntech Intercooler Hi Flow Pump Kit
Camber Bushing Kit for Rear
Toe Link Kit
No accidents, always Garaged. Located in Naples,FL now.
Looks absolutely amazing, no dents, scratches, etc. Pristine!
New rotors and pads last year and only 1500 miles on them.
Over $25,000 in Renntech upgrades and wheels. You will NOT find a nicer car!
$62,000

Gorgeous car George. Good luck, and I'm sure SOME lucky buyer will enjoy it and treat it well.

The front passenger side wheel looks VERY bent. $62k will be a stretch but the warranty will help. Good luck on the sale.

You can see in the picture that the front looks flat spotted at 11 oclock and the rear at 10 oclock.

Looking forward to more pictures.

Maybe it was a scanned picture that he had in his back pocket for a few days.

Great Looker...
A real beauty. FYSA, I was fortunate to find an 05 SL65 earlier this year - non Rentech. It came with extra parts (grille, BBS-GT wheels with Hancooks(along with OEM wheels / Michelins), spare IC pump, trickle charge, etc.), 2-years remaining on Fidelity Platinum w/$100 deductible (great warranty btw), and MHP ECU/TCU upgrade.

She's been garaged during non-topdown months and hasn't a scratch. Clean Carfax w/32k miles. I paid $45k.

Good luck - Hope you don't miss her too much...
