This 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG is a black-over-black example that has 63k miles and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The car has a power-retractable hardtop, a panoramic glass roof, bi-xenon headlights with washers, 19″ two-piece alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, Keyless-Go, heated and ventilated seats with massaging and position memory settings, a Bose sound system, and a Pioneer touchscreen head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay. Purchased by the seller in 2019, this R230 is now offered with the owner’s manual, diagnostic tools, digital service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic and has a power-folding convertible hardtop with a panoramic glass roof. Additional details include bi-xenon headlights with washers, window tint, parking sensors, fog lights, a black front grille, fender air vents, and AMG bodywork including a revised front spoiler, side skirts, and quad exhaust outlets. The rear bumper cover trim is broken and the front spoiler has scrapes. The hardtop cylinders were replaced in preparation for the sale.
The 19″ two-piece alloy wheels wear staggered-width Continental tires that were reportedly mounted in 2023. The car features Active Body Control (ABC) suspension as well as an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Automatic Slip Control (ASR), and an AMG High Performance Braking System with cross-drilled rotors. Curb damage is visible on the wheels.
The heated and ventilated power-adjustable seats feature position memory and massaging elements and are upholstered in black Exclusive leather, while wood trim accents the cabin. Interior appointments include a Pioneer touchscreen head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay, carpeted floor mats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a backup camera, Keyless-Go, and a Bose sound system. The amplifier is said to fail intermittently.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 220-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 63k miles, approximately 13k of which were added under current ownership.
The twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter M275 V12 has a carbon-fiber engine cover and was factory rated at 604 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. The valve cover gaskets and spark plugs were replaced in 2023, per the seller.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
