Vehicle History & Overview

According to the included clean Carfax report, this SL500 Designo Launch Edition was sold new in New Jersey, and has been primarily kept in Florida since 2009. The seller purchased this car from a dealer in October 2022, and has since added less than 700 of its 21,150 total miles. Described as unmodified throughout, this low-mile Designo Launch Edition features exclusive Designo Silver paintwork over a Black/Anthracite cabin, along with a plethora of luxury and performance features and a naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine paired with a manually-shiftable 5-speed automatic transmission.

In October 2023 less than 100 miles ago, the seller had Mercedes-Benz of Sarasota complete a $10,942.58 service including rebuilding the power-retractable hard top hydraulics, a general inspection, and an engine oil/filter change. This rare R230 SL500 is now offered with the recent service receipt, an additional 2023 inspection/condition report, factory owner's manuals, a factory car cover, and three keys.
