The Appeal

With close to 500bhp on tap, the SL55 is both supercar and luxury GT and, with that clever folding roof, coupe and convertible too. It’s no surprise that good examples are increasingly popular with enthusiasts.

This car is finished in popular ‘black on black’ and features over $13,000 of options, such as the desirable panoramic roof, ventilated seats and premium sound system. It is a really well kept car with low miles for its age, which is verified by a clean Carfax report. We’re told the same report shows 23 service records.

Rewarding and relaxing in equal measure, this 2006 car is a good example of these extremely quick roadsters.
