The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz R230 SL represents the pinnacle of early 2000s German engineering. Two decades on, these fine convertibles are still a great option, so we're pleased to present this very good SL500 from 2003.
Our car stands out with its factory-fitted AMG styling package and 18" AMG spoked wheels, giving it a more aggressive stance than standard models.
Finished in the timeless Brilliant Silver Metallic, this SL500 has covered just 79,658 miles and benefits from recent maintenance. With its USA Title and complete Dutch import documentation (with all duties and VAT paid), this represents a turnkey opportunity for European buyers seeking a well-specified R230. All that's left to do is register and inspect the car in your country of choice.
