Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is pleased to present this
2005 Mercedes SL500 in burgundy on oyster. Mercedes SL's had few
direct competitors, when you consider the looks, build quality,
refinement, and performance. They have been a favorite for decades
for those reasons and more. This SL looks particularly good in
burgundy, and the oyster colored interior has a cool affect and
modern look. The SL500 ran $89,900 when new, and came with a
powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine, seven-speed automatic transmission
and the ABC active suspension. The SL500 featured more standard
equipment than just about any other two-seater of the day. "New Car
Test Drive" went on to say "Slide into the cockpit, belt up, press
the button on the console and 16 seconds later the
power-retractable roof switches the SL from the quiet comfort of a
luxury coupe to the open-air fun of a roadster. The seats are
comfortable and the interior is luxurious" and "in addition to
power, every SL is packed with leading-edge technology to keep it
safe and controllable. Every SL comes standard with traction
control, electronic stability control, electronic brake
distribution and brake assist. The electronically controlled ABC
active suspension greatly reduces the roll and pitch for improved
grip".This pretty SL is extra clean and clearly well cared for. It
starts, runs and drives very well and was purchased new in Florida.
Clearly a lot of car for the money!
