2003 Mercedes Benz SL500 PANO ROOF, 72k miles, Mint shape, R230 SL55 AMG SL600

The 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 may look like a typical luxury sports car. but under its aluminum and steel skin lays an electronically sophisticated heart that is as complex as any car going. It is a showcase for Mercedes' electronic brake system. active body control suspension and vehicle stability programs. The good thing about all the gadgetry is that it blends into the vehicle so seamlessly in daily driving that all you notice is uncommon competence in situations that might otherwise seem a bit dodgy. This is the fifth generation sports car. Its styling is sleek yet muscular. with a four-headlight face that is recognizably a Mercedes. Like a chameleon. it turns from hardtop to convertible in 16 seconds as the roof folds into the trunk. The SL 500 is powered by a 302-horsepower. 5. 0-liter V-8 that has three valves and two spark plugs per cylinder. Performance is quick: 60 miles per hour comes up in 6. 1 seconds. The innovative brake-by-wire system uses a computer to activate a valve at each wheel. and the system senses how hard the driver wants to brake. If you brake in a turn. the system applies more braking to the wheel on the outside and less to the inside to help maintain vehicle stability. Brake Assist detects a panic stop and applies the brakes with full force. A traditional hydraulic master cylinder is available as a backup. Mercedes uses an active suspension system that reduces body lean while providing a dynamic compromise between a soft ride and responsive handling. Called Active Body Control. the system has sport and comfort settings. ABC adjusts the ride instantaneously and keeps the car level when taking a turn. Anti-lock brakes and traction control are also part of the ESP vehicle stability program that helps negate skids. One expects a luxury performance sports car of this price to cosset its occupants with convenience and comfort. and the SL does just that. Sensors in the seat-belt buckles let the climate control system know whether there is one or two occupants. and it adjusts accordingly. This vehicle is equipped with heated seats that also cool with fans that circulate cool air through the perforated leather. These seats have multi-contour seatbacks. adjustable side bolsters and a pulsing lumbar support to relieve the tension of long hours behind the wheel. Interior storage consists of small compartments under each seat and small bins behind the seat. Safety items include head and thorax side-impact airbags. a driver's knee airbag and a roll bar that pops into place should the vehicle turn over. The tachometer and speedometer reside in large pods behind the steering wheel. The Command navigation and audio systems use an LCD. Point: The new SL 500 is a technological tour de force that is loaded with new items such as Sensotronic brakes. Active Body Control. Brake Assist and vehicle stability control. Styling is handsome. and extensive use of aluminum keeps weight down. This particular vehicle is in great shape. Just look at the pictures and judge for yourself. The vehicle is mechanically sound and the interior looks nice and smells great. This car has NOT been smoked in. The engine sounds great. it handles and drives superbly and has no problem developing high speeds. New central locking motor. new top motor. new brakes. new mats and new power stearing pump. OVER $4000 INVESTED TO MAKE IT 100% nice. Car runs straight as an arrow and MICHELIN tires do not pull in any direction. The car can be exported. transferred and registered in any state.
