The Appeal

The R230-generation SL 500 married a 302 HP V8 with Mercedes-Benz's innovative electrohydraulic retractable aluminium hardtop, Active Body Control suspension, and Sensotronic Brake Control, a grand tourer that remains well regarded among enthusiasts of modern Mercedes-Benz roadsters.

This example is finished in Travertine Beige Metallic over Beige leather and benefits from the factory-fitted AMG Sport Package, Comfort Package, and Trim Package, along with KEYLESS-GO and Bi-Xenon headlamps. These options brought the original retail price to $100,230.

The car is accompanied by its original window sticker and Mercedes-Benz datacard, confirming its as-delivered specification. Originally a US-market vehicle, it has been imported to Europe with Dutch documentation, and all duties and VAT have been paid. The seller can also assist with worldwide transport and shipping for prospective buyers.
