2006 AMG SL55 030 Performance Package Mercedes SL55 - $30850

This SL55 will be a future collectable because it has the very rare 030 Performance Package, an $18,000 Option which included the SL65 front bumper and two piece wheels, a Nuernburg Ring tuned suspension, even bigger brakes, even more power, 186 mph top speed, and Alcantara interior pieces. There are very few of these cars around. They pull very strong when compared to regular SL55. If I remember correctly there were under 200 in the world. All original paint. Clean Carfax. No accidents. All services. Just spent $2,500 last month to address all parts that could have failed in the future. 42k miles. Two owners. Comes with the original OEM SL65 wheels. If you want the mounted Rohana RFX 5 20" with Michelin Pilot Super Sport that is $2,725 extra, they only have 1,000 miles on them. The weight is much lighter than the OEM wheels and handling is improved.

I will NOT respond to text messages. This is a landline. Phone calls only. 424 24I 228O

No R230 outside of the Black Series will ever be a collectable.

Don't get me wrong, I hope it does become a collectable. That would only help the value of my SL65.
