Mercedes-Benz - SL500 - AMG Sport - NO RESERVE - 2003

Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R230) – AMG Sport Package – 2003 The R230 was introduced in 2001 as the successor to the successful R129 and marked a major technological leap forward. The model stood out for its timeless design, advanced safety features, and exceptionally high-quality finish. Even more than twenty years after its introduction, the R230 remains a particularly attractive appearance. This 2003 example is finished in the classic and very stylish Brillantsilber Metallic (744U), paired with a black/anthracite leather interior (201A). The car also features an extensive factory equipment list, including the desirable AMG Sport Package, Comfort Package, Wood Package, Bi-Xenon lighting, and KEYLESS-GO. The original US sticker price was no less than $96,085, including $9,375 in factory options. A similarly equipped example in the Netherlands at the time carried a new price of more than €140,000. A notable aspect of this Mercedes-Benz is that the original window sticker and the official Mercedes-Benz datacard are present. This allows the original specification, color scheme, and factory options to be well documented. Additionally, there is an extensive maintenance history with no fewer than 17 registered visits to Mercedes-Benz or Buffalo in the United States. The current odometer reading is 91,590 miles. COACHWORK/PAINT: This Mercedes-Benz SL500 is finished in the original factory color Brillantsilber Metallic, color code 744U. This classic silver-metallic paint complements the elegant lines of the R230 and forms a particularly attractive combination with the AMG styling and the original 18-inch AMG alloy wheels. Thanks to the optional AMG Sport Package, this example features the sportier AMG front bumper, AMG side sill extensions, and AMG rear bumper. These components give the SL500 a considerably more dynamic appearance without compromising the model’s original elegant character. The car is equipped with the characteristic electro-hydraulic-operated aluminum Vario-Roof, allowing the SL500 to be used as a comfortable closed coupé or as a fully open roadster. The hardtop construction remains one of the most distinctive features of this generation of SL. Also equipped are the original Bi-Xenon headlights with headlight washers, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, chromed exterior elements, and the original AMG alloy wheels in 18-inch format. The original Mercedes-Benz datacard confirms the factory color, AMG equipment, and other specifications of this example. TECHNICAL: Under the hood lies the well-known 5.0-liter M113 V8 petrol engine with a displacement of 4,973 cc and an output of 302 HP. This naturally aspirated eight-cylinder engine is known for its smooth power delivery, characteristic V8 sound, and comfortable driving characteristics. The engine is paired to a five-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to the rear wheels. Thanks to the generous engine torque and the refined automatic transmission, the SL500 offers relaxed long-distance comfort as well as impressive performance when required. An important technical feature of the R230 is the Active Body Control (ABC) system, which hydraulically and electronically controls the suspension. This advanced system minimizes body movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering, contributing to the exceptionally comfortable and stable ride. The car also features Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC), ABS, Brake Assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and Automatic Slip Regulation (ASR). The Mercedes-Benz is equipped with the original AMG Sport Package, including 18-inch AMG wheels with a wider tire setup on the rear axle. From the factory this trim was delivered with 255/40 R18 tires up front and 285/35 R18 tires on the rear.
