Vehicle Description
Occasionally the opportunity is presented to get the good life at a
great price. This 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is a luxurious and
powerful hardtop V8 roadster that offers grand touring comfort with
the ideal mix of swiftness and opulence.
Diamond Silver is the name of the paint, and when you see the way
the light reflects off the smoothly designed curves, you know
exactly why this earned its name. So it immediately announces this
as an upper-class car, and it also connects it with a terrific
legacy. After all, a silver Mercedes always makes you think of the
early SLs. Even the side air outlets are inspired by the original
300SL gullwing. But this is also a very modern classic. The sleek
body panels have been well cared for with a precision
German-engineered fit, and the wonderful multi-stage paint helps
highlight the car's quality for years to come. And those 18-inch
alloys have the high-polished look of mature care.
Mercedes understands how to make a luxury driver's car with
leather, wood, and a sculpted interior design. This is an actual
miles car, and so the driver's seat and steering wheel have seen
some use. It certainly doesn't change the functionality of this
Benz, and there are many upholstery shops that can fix this quite
easily. And what may be the most interesting is that, aside from
this use, there's very little to tell your senses that this isn't a
nearly-new car. The SL is a range-topping model, and this cost over
$140k in today's dollars. So they gave it the best of everything,
and the other manufacturers have just spent these last years
catching up. So not only do you have power-adjustable seats, but
the memory function also remembers the driver's steering wheel
position. There are other amenities such as power windows, power
locks, power mirrors, keyless entry, cruise control, and AM/FM/CD
infotainment system with sat nav. Mercedes also stays at the
forefront of safety, and so this modern classic has dual front
airbags, side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a roll bar that
automatically pops up when danger is detected. But the best feature
of all is the atmosphere this one creates. The folding hardtop
disappears with basically zero trace. And since you have both
dual-zone automatic A/C climate control and heated seats, it's easy
to enjoy open-top motoring and stay individually comfortable.
The engine bay is filled with beautiful V8 power. The 5.0-liter V8
is a 300+ horsepower 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, power steering,
four-wheel power disc brakes and grippy Michelin Pilot Sport tires
are all part of a package that loves easy drives and spirited back
roads. And this versatility is heightened by the exceptionally
smooth yet connected suspension feeling. So it's especially nice to
be told the complete hydraulic suspension system was given a major
investment within the last couple of years to make sure this
continues to provide its legendary ride.
This is the premium, powerful, and all-around upper-class machine.
It offers the good life at a great price. Call today!!!
