This 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG was initially sold in Florida and spent time in several other states before the seller’s April 2022 purchase. Service under current ownership has included replacing the front bumper cover and lower control arm bushings in June 2022, the driver seat control module in August 2022, the trunk-lid lift cylinders in October 2022, and the climate control module and the left rear strut in October 2023. The car has 36k miles and is powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. It was specified in Orion Blue Metallic over Ash leather, and features include a power-retractable hardtop, 18″ Turbine-style AMG wheels, Keyless Go, heated multi-contour seats, a Bose sound system, and a Pioneer Infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay capability. This R230 is now offered with the owner’s manual, service records, spare parts, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Orion Blue Metallic (345) and features a power-folding convertible hardtop. Other equipment includes fog lights, fender air vents, and AMG bodywork including a revised front spoiler, side skirts, and quad exhaust outlets. The front hydraulic valve for the hardtop was replaced in March 2022, the front bumper cover was replaced in June 2022, the trunk-lid lift cylinders were replaced in October 2022, and the trunk struts were replaced in May 2024.
The 18″ Turbine-style AMG wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact tires that were installed in June 2023. The car features Active Body Control suspension as well as an Electronic Stability Program, Automatic Slip Control, and an AMG High Performance Braking System with cross-drilled rotors. Lower control arm bushings were replaced in June 2022 and the left rear strut was replaced in October 2023.
The cabin features two heated multi-contour seats with position memory, which are trimmed in Ash leather. Additional amenities include a Pioneer infotainment screen with Apple Carplay capability as well as dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a wind deflector, Keyless Go, and a Bose sound system. The driver seat control module was replaced in August 2022, the driver seat switch and the climate control module were replaced in October 2023, and the driver’s window switch was replaced in October 2024.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 36k miles, approximately 3,500 of which were added under current ownership. The Carfax report lists a mileage inconsistency in an August 2021 entry, though the report indicates this may be the result of a clerical error.
The supercharged 5.4-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 493 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in May 2024, and a battery was replaced in October 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned mileage inconsistency.
