2005 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Convertible

Description

The Mercedes-Benz SL is a personal expression of luxury that announces to the world that you are a person of wealth and distinction. So when you can get this low mileage 2005 Mercedes SL500 at a budget car price, the public impression doesn't change... but now you can afford the country club dues, too.

Brilliant Silver is a great Mercedes color. It reminds us of the German race cars and the legendary Silver Arrows. So this car has power and prestige in the first impression. This was designed to look sporty with the folding hardtop up or down. You see it in everything from the overall aggressive forward-leaning profile to the details like side air outlets inspired by the original 300SL gullwing. The car looks quite good right now. You may choose to take some of the leftover money from the value price for detailing or touch-ups, but there is an undeniable fundamental attraction. This car has averaged less than 4k miles annually and it has always been with the same family (the history shows three owners going between a husband, wife, and business.) So you have a well-kept car with a fully known history including Mercedes dealer maintenance - and that's the cornerstone of desirability in Mercedes ownership.

This SL has earned its reputation as a luxury cruiser through a long list of desirable features. The beige leather interior harmonizes with both the exterior color and the walnut wood on the center console. And you will love how the power seats will remember your ideal driving position. But there's another side to Mercedes amenities that are always a nice bonus. This premium marque is known for engineering plenty of safety into their cars, and this can be seen on items such as the dual airbags, side airbags, the anti-lock brakes, and the roll bar that automatically pops up when danger is detected. There are other amenities such as power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, rear wind blocker, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an LED infotainment system with a stereo powerful enough to be heard at Autobahn level speeds with the top down. And speaking of the top, the electronic folding roof was one of the best inventions Mercedes ever put in the SL. It gives you the security and style of a coupe when you want, and with the electronic folding roof stowed, there's still room in the trunk for your weekend bags.

The engine bay is filled with beautiful V8 power. The 5.0-liter V8 makes 300+ horsepower. It's a dual overhead cam setup that's made to be versatile no matter if you're getting up from a stoplight or passing on the highway. The five-speed automatic transmission snaps to attention with the poke of the throttle, and the multi-link suspension provides impressive handling. The power steering, four-wheel disc brakes with drilled rotors, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires all work in harmony with Benz's engineering to deliver a confident drive. It's this ability to be both powerful and composed in all conditions why the SL500 is a timeless symbol of luxury.

Complete with owner's manual, this is the car you promised you'd always have. Now's the time for the good life at a great price. Call today!!!
