FS: 08 SL55, 24k 2-owner miles, 12 month warranty, tasteful upgrades

Hello all, it is with mixed feelings, I'm listing my SL55 for sale.

Here is the verbiage from my online listings:

Extremely nice SL55. I am second adult owner and have had it since Sept 2014. I'm an enthusiast and take extremely great care of my vehicles. Always garaged and no smoke. Warranty until 09/2017.

Meticulous owners since new, needs nothing as all services are up to date. Has warranty til Sept 2017 purchased from Mercedes Benz of South Charlotte and can be used at any MBZ dealer and any Indy shop that does warranty work. Covers hydraulic suspension (which has just been serviced in October 2015). Haven't used the warranty bc the car is and has been mechanically flawless. Clean Carfax, no accidents and no paint work (can verify with a paint meter).

Stock except for:

- Red painted calipers
- Red/silver painted intake
- High flow air filters
- CKS x-pipe (removes secondary cats and first set of mufflers)
- 20" O.Z. Ultraleggera HLT wheels
- Blacked out grill
- SL63 trunk spoiler painted to match
- Custom made carbon fiber/leather steering wheel
- Lowering links.

*ALL stock parts included.

Originally equipped as follows:

- Partronic
- Voice Control
- Panoramic roof with Sunshade
- Electronic Trunk Closer
- Premium Pkg: keyless go, Heated and Ventilated Front Seats, Bi-Xenon Headlights, Cornering Fog Lamps

Original MSRP was $139,265

SL55s this nice are getting harder and harder to find. With 510 bhp and 531 lb-ft, it's a very fast car! Paddle shifters on steering wheel. With the x-pipe it sounds fantastic! Not loud at all but, just loud enough so other car guys will know it's not stock.

Having said that, it's a 9 year old used car. There are signs of use including a small amount of chips in the leading edges on the front of the nose, scuffs on the sill plates and a small ding in the right rear quarter panel at the top along where the quarter panel meets the trunk.

I will consider lesser reasonable offers if you'd like the car put back to stock (except painted calipers of course) if you would prefer. Aftermarket parts will not be included if the buyer prefers the car in stock form.

Pre-purchase inspections welcomed and encouraged. Title in hand.

Asking price: $46,995 ORO

Thanks for looking.

Thanks.

My plan is to keep it listed with the mods at or near this price and if need be, I will remove what I can, put it back to stock (except for calipers and air boxes) and remove the warranty in order to reduce the price.

PM or email mylrdog at geeeeemail if you have any questions

This is absolutely a no excuses car.

Thanks for looking.
