Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional
example of this one owner 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 rare 'Designo
Edition' roadster in the highly desirable and striking color
combination of original factory 'Black' color paint with a 'Light
Brown' 'Designo' leather interior, with the retractable power steel
roof and with 19" multi-spoke alloy wheels and with only 1,574 (yes
one thousand five hundred and seventy four) original miles! The
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster features classic sports-car
proportions. Its long nose with massive hood vents is flanked by
large HID headlamps with LED accents and flows over the optional
19-inch five-spoke wheels. The passenger compartment seats two
under its low-slung, abbreviated roof line. The convertible top is
a power-retractable hard top that lowers in about 6 seconds. The
car boasts an observed 159-mph top speed (Mercedes claims an
electronically limited 155). With a 429-hp, 4.7-liter twin-turbo
V-8 lurking beneath its hood, the 4138-pound SL550 posts some
impressive acceleration numbers; 4.1 seconds from 0 to 60 and the
quarter in 12.5 seconds. The car has a weight saving aluminum
unibody and luxurious interior trappings and this particular
example boasts dealer upgrades including the $4,900 Premium package
(rearview camera, power trunk closer, active parking assist,
ventilated seats, and keyless entry and start); the $4,500 Designo
Leather package; illuminated door sills ($350); analog clock on
dash top (a very attractive worthy accessory at this deal of an
affordable price - $250!); wood/leather steering wheel ($590);
special order multispoke 19 wheels ($750); this car wore a sticker
reading a princely $117,745.00 in 2013! The car may be German, but
speaks the international language of wealth and privilege most
fluently :) Overall, the 6th generation SL550 was a techno
masterpiece masquerading as a slick German roadster and a terrific
offering from Mercedes to the fortunate few. Mercedes-Benz had
launched a totally new sixth generation SL roadster in 2013
featuring a unitized aluminum body - the first mass produced body
shell from Mercedes-Benz. In comparison to the previous generation
SL the aluminum body weighed some 275 pounds less whilst providing
even more crash safety enhancements and improved ride control. The
SL is Mercedes-Benz most storied and revered model, with more
performance than any of the others, since 1954, with the launch of
the legendary 300SL! This 2013 latest 6th generation model, the SL
maintains this legacy of playing double duty as both a GT cruiser
and sports car, whilst ensuring the most luxurious of appointments
for its discerning owners. The SL550 replaced the previous 5th
generation model and it was a technological tour-de-force, improved
in virtually every way from the previous generation's model. The
all new aluminum unibody design was dramatic and still boasted a
retractable steel roof which instantly converted the car from being
a sleek sports coupe into an open-air fun roadster. The car's
original factory options include: 4.6L V8n Bi-turbo Engine with
Direct Injection 429 Horsepower 516 lb-ft Torque 7 speed automatic
transmission with shift paddles ECO start/stop system Torque
