Vehicle Description
Looking to make a strong statement in the form of a great looking
open air ride? Here's a car that's completely up to the task. This
2013 Mercedes Benz SL 550 cuts an appearance that's as head turning
as they come and it carries a level of exceptional power in its
engine bay to provide it with world-class performance on par with
its outstanding, super sharp form.
The Steel Gray metallic shade covering its exterior gives it a look
of understated elegance - after all, a car that begins life with
this much style doesn't really need any bells and whistles to drive
the point of its awesomeness home even further. Mercedes has been
wowing the automotive buying public with the SL's magnetic open air
look for decades, and long before this '13 saw the light of day,
they had the model in optimum form, so every subsequent generation
has been an exhibition of their aesthetic mastery. Over the years,
more than a few manufacturers have struggled with perfecting their
hardtop convertibles, but Mercedes has it mastered - the
retractable hardtop on this SL 550 is very well engineered and
seals with precision. From front to back, it shows all the signs of
being attentively cared for and well-sheltered - the paint still
maintains a deep shine, the prominent headlights sit behind
crystal-clear lenses and the front grille has its original deep
black color.
Climb inside and in very short order your self-esteem will
levitate. This Mercedes sports a great looking interior that
combines all the functionality you could want with an abundance of
style. The heated power black leather buckets have an outstanding
feel to them, offering comfort in everyday conditions with plenty
of support for more spirited driving. Considering the luxurious
reputation of the Mercedes brand, you'd expect plenty of comfort
and convenience features to be on hand, and they are, including air
conditioning that's operating in top form, an AM/FM/iPod stereo
that includes Bluetooth connectivity, a navigation system, backup
camera, cruise control, as well as power windows and door locks.
Driver and passenger side airbags add a measure of safety, while
the featured anti-theft device helps keep this coveted ride in your
possession. The trunk area offers a little storage space and its
clean surfaces testify that no mishaps have taken place inside.
The SL 550's hypnotic great look combines with an outstanding level
of performance. Make no mistake, this is an absolute screamer as
far as any measure of prowess on the asphalt is concerned. The 4.6
liter bi-turbo V8 holding court under the hood has been
dealer-equipped with a Kleeman tuning chip to maximize its already
potent abilities, resulting in an output of 535 horsepower and a
rubber melting 652 lb-ft of torque - far more than enough to rocket
this wonder of Germanic style and engineering to warp speed in
nothing flat. It holds the promise of many more smile-filled miles
to come, as well - it's logged under 50,000 miles, just a little
past the break in point for a brand known for so ably combining
longevity, performance and outstanding visual appeal. This
exceptional powerplant combines with a 7-speed automatic
transmission that provides maximum performance with minimal effort.
The SL 550's smooth and precise power steering combines with its
road hugging stance to make for handling that few cars can even
approach - Car and Driver gauged it at a full .94g on the skidpad,
while generously proportioned power disc brakes at all four corners
bring its set of 19" stock Mercedes, wrapped with Continental
tires, to quick stops.
This 2013 Mercedes SL 550 offers the opportunity to put a
fresh-looking and lovingly maintained world class performance car
in your garage. Call today!
