For Sale: 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 in San Antonio, Texas

Reduced!!! 2003 Mercedes Benz SL 500 Roadster For Sale

This 2003 SL 500 has been and still is a Garage Queen.  I am the third owner and I purchased this car in June of 2021, as my Covid project.  I am not going to go into great detail regarding the history of Mercedes Benz or a lot of details about the SL model either.  I have found that most buyers who are looking at ads like this are very well-informed regarding Mercedes vehicles and fairly sophisticated regarding performance, maintenance, and driveability.  They know these puppies are awesome and move like crazy with the V-8 and 5-speed automatic.  They are also well-informed regarding maintenance and the requirements that a 20-year-old Benz needs.  This 2003 has had over $15,000 spent for maintenance and upgrades in the past 2 years.  Sure you can find the exact color combo and year with maybe 50K more miles for 15K to 20K but you had better be prepared to spend some $$$ to get that car to where this one is today.  I have found from experience that these cheaper SLs require additional repairs etc.  This SL is already priced below what a similar SL recently sold for on a popular auction.  The convertible hard top operates smoothly.  This car is totally rust-free, the paint shines like new.  With just over 25,000 miles and a fresh oil change, it is ready to go!!!

During the past 2-3 years this 2003 SL 500 has had the following maintenance and upgrades; also everything works as it should:

• 1/20 Front Battery
• 10/20 Trunk battery
• 10/20 Power Top Cylinders repaired or replaced
• 10/20 New fuel tank Cap
• 7/21 4 New 18” Michelin tires, brakes, rotors, and pads at 24,347 miles July 2021
• 7/21 4 New AMG multispoke wheels
• 7/21 Replaced high-pressure pump and struts for ABC Suspension system
• 7/21 New fuel filter, suspension system filter
• 7/21 New fluids all around with the following fluids that were flushed…brake, transmission, suspension, and oil/filter change.
• 7/21 SRS Sensor Replaced
• 7/21 new Antenna
• 7/21 New Trunk /latch mechanism
• 8/21 New High-End Custom Sound system with new amplifiers, head unit, and front and rear cameras.  (The sound will blow your hair Back)
• The old head/CD/amplifier units go with the car

So you might be wondering why this SL is for sale…well, I have my eye on a new SL and I have to make room in the stables for the new one…otherwise, I would not be selling this 2003 SL.  This 2003 SL is definitely a #2 (Excellent) using Hagerty’s 4-point valuation tool.  I have an older CarFax from 2021 available.  The car has had regular oil and filter changes throughout its life and regular maintenance.  Also was garaged from the beginning as you can see from the pictures.  Thanks for looking!
