    I have a nice little car collection and recently added a Aston Martin Vantage which I am storing in Scottsdale until I drive it home in May. Planning on selling my beloved SL55 this spring (or sooner) to make room. I am a detail and maintenance fanatic and my car is perfectly maintained and needs nothing more than an oil change in about 3500 miles, looking to get $38,900. This car simply cannot be compared to your typical SL55 and is a phenomenal opportunity for someone who realizes the value of a completely sorted car, equal performance to an SL65 with far better weight balance and maintenance exposure (I know, I have had both).
    Please see details below;
    Diamond Silver 2005 SL55 AMG with just over 62k original miles, Keyless Go, Charcoal interior with rare Brushed Aluminum trim (not wood) with the following upgrades: Kleemann Stainless Exhaust Headers, Eurocharged Supercharger Pulley (installed 1/2016) Kleemann TCU upgrade and color matched Kleemann TS6 3 piece 19" (9.5" f/ 11" r) Wheels with new Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires + a full set of Factory SL55 (perfect condition) wheels also with new Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires. The paint, wheels, interior and even the engine bay is/are flawless. Factory paint matched SL63 rear lip spoiler and CF front lip spoiler. Radar Detector Hardwire for Valentine One plus Blinder Laser Jammers installed front and rear , Carbon Kevlar Focal (their highest level separates) and JL Audio amp/speaker upgrade integrated into the factory locations completed in 2011 by Benchmark Motoring ($6,000+ cost, see link below). I upgraded the factory NAV this last year with a Pioneer NEX8100 (their top model NAV) with Apple CarPlay Mirroring with your iPhone, DVD in motion, Pandora, Satellite Radio etc. I found an excellent factory look bezel that makes look as it was meant to be there and it now has current technology touchscreen Navigation. I also installed full HD color front and rear (backup) cameras, so no worries about hitting the front spoiler, all in there is $10,000 in top shelf audio installed, Truly State of The Art! Braking System is upgraded with Benz Works 2 piece rotors with Akebono Ceramic Pads and stainless brake lines. Steering wheel is upgraded with a brand new Alcantara/Leather steering wheel from a late model SL65 with full size paddle shifters (matches perfectly). Ride height is fully adjustable with a Lowering Module M1 (see link below) which creates a fully integrated system to control ride height from an in dash menu. This car has the factory lowering feature that allows about 2" ride height adjustment from a switch on the center console for parking/speedbumps/steep driveways. The rear end has extra stability with Evosport Rear Toe Links. Additional supercharger cooling is augmented by a Johnson CM30 pump and an extra, larger front intercooler, fully integrated. This SL55 has 493hp stock and about 600hp with the Headers, mild tune and underdrive pulley that were all professionally installed and is extraordinarily fast. This car has been garaged all its life, a perfect Carfax is available and all maintenance is up to date.
    This car was $125,000 new and with the tasteful improvements represents an incredible value on a world class Grand Touring Coupe/Convertible. It has been waxed, polished and leather treated more times than I can count. It also comes with a Mercedes Factory Car Cover and a Griots Garage Battery Tender. All services up to date, needs no service until next oil change in about 4500 miles.
    This particular SL55 is in a League of its own, capable of nearly 200mph and must be appreciated for the excellent "Like New" example that it is, I have owned it for 5+ years and it was bone stock when I bought it, it took a long while to find one this perfect without wood trim and right colors. Everything on the car is top shelf. I have had a lot of fun with it at shows and weekend cruising but would consider selling to make space in my garage. I doubt that you will ever see a nicer or as well equipped Supercar for this kind of money. Serious inquiries only please.

    Awesome car.

    Curious, do the factory controls on the steering wheel work with Pioneer?

    Also with the Kleemann headers were the primary cats removed and secondaries still in place?

    Primary cats were deleted but bypassed through ECU, VERY nice exhaust note. I believe that there is a steering wheel interface but I did not install it. The LoMo does work through the steering wheel and the factory ride works as normal. the LoMo just "talks" to the ECU and sets a starting point.
    Thanks for looking, frankly I can't believe that I am even selling this amazing car!

    That is seriously sweet, was seriously looking at SL55s before I bought my 355.
    If I had seen this one before I bought, probably would have pulled the trigger.
    And I love them in silver, maybe Dad will loan me ...... ;)

    Curious does it say AMG above the right tail light or have a Kleemann badge ?

    I LOVE the demographic on Ferrari chat, thank you for all the kind words, obviously you guys get it. You would not believe the comments I get on Craig's List here in Seattle. Not even a response on MB World or 6 Speed. Frankly I would buy it at this price, I may have to get another 4 post lift and keep it..... :)

    I re-read your listing because I couldn't find the price listed, expecting to see a certain number. Then I found your asking. Unbelieveable. For this car?! Have you lost your senses? Too cheap by large. What a great machine for this money. Definitely an autobahn stormer. With the exhaust mods, do you expect smog or registration issues in any state, such as Commie-fornia?

    GLWS. This should be gone already. Really.
