For Sale: 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 in Ft Worth, Texas

The Mercedes SL is a personal expression of luxury, so when you can get this low mileage 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 at a budget price, you can now afford the country club dues, too.


Silver Metallic is a timelessly attractive color, especially on a Benz. Mercedes is known for their meticulous paint practices, and so the luster of this one is still showroom-worthy. It's not just great paint that keeps this SL looking new. It was built with tight German-engineered panel tolerances, and proper care means it still carries that today. After all, you're looking at an example that has only averaged about 1,700 miles annually. So there's a well-respected appearance over the full car everywhere from the 17-inch alloys to the door's solid THUNK that comes from buying a well-built Mercedes. And we bet you'll just love watching everyone admiring the smooth action of the power folding hardtop going up and down. It was just given a new mechanism as part of the commitment to the quality and respect of this convertible.


This SL has earned its reputation as a luxury cruiser through a long list of desirable features. The light gray leather interior is the perfect complementing color to the exterior, and we especially like how the tone lets the darker walnut wood on the center console really stand out. 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 disc brakes, and the roll bar that automatically pops up when danger is detected. There are other amenities such as power seats, power windows, power steering, power locks, keyless entry, tilt steering column, and cruise control. And the stereo is a full infotainment system with AM/FM/CD, navigation (will need the NAV disc), and a premium audio sound system. One of our favorite groupings of features is the heated seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. It means you can take down the hardtop nearly any time of year, and you and your passenger can dial in the ideal individual temperature.


Owning an SL500 means there is a powerful 5.0-liter DOHC V8 that lives under the hood. Not only does it make 302 horsepower, but it has been engineered to always have extra power on tap when you need it. So at a moment's notice, you can be comfortably cruising in luxury, and then decide to push the accelerator down, awaken the roar of the V8, and leave all traffic behind. The five-speed automatic transmission snaps to attention with the poke of the throttle, and the multi-link suspension provides impressive handling. In total, this is the ultimate drop-top for the driver who wants a tight-handling car for the backroads but doesn't want to give up supple comfort or space for the golf clubs.


The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet and maintenance records. This is your chance for the good life at a great price. Call today!!!
