Mercedes-Benz SL500 5.5 V8 2008 | 82,500 miles | Pan Roof | ABC | Bose | Distronic 9990 ONO 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R230 facelift) finished in Obsidian Black with Beige Nappa leather, AMG styling package and genuine staggered 19" AMG alloy wheels. A very well-specced SL500 with the superb 5.5 V8 M273 engine, panoramic glass roof, ABC suspension, Bose sound system, Distronic adaptive cruise control, heated and ventilated seats, Keyless-Go, front and rear Parktronic and folding mirrors. The car has covered 82,500 miles, comes with 2 keys and has a comprehensive service history. It drives very well and has had a substantial amount of recent maintenance carried out in the right areas. I bought the car knowing the common R230 / M273 weak points and dealt with the typical oil leak items early on, so the work carried out was preventative and ownership-led rather than simply waiting for problems to get worse. The roof operates perfectly, the ABC suspension raises and lowers smoothly, and the car sits level after standing overnight. Recent maintenance / work carried out Previous owner: * ABC fluid and filter service * Fuel filter replaced * Spark plugs replaced * Front anti-roll bar links replaced Since I bought it: * Valve cover gasket replaced * Oil filter housing / oil cooler seals replaced * Camshaft plugs replaced * Crankcase breather replaced * Belt, tensioner and both pulleys replaced * Thermostat replaced * Full engine oil and filter service * Differential oil replaced * 3 static gearbox oil changes carried out * Two new rear tyres fitted recently * Interior refreshed, including recoloured seats Condition / driving The car presents very well for its age and mileage, with a strong engine, smooth gearbox and a properly functioning roof. The cabin has also been refreshed, which has really lifted the interior. The ABC suspension works exactly as it should it raises and lowers smoothly and the car remains level after being left overnight. The panoramic roof operates perfectly. Points to note Soft close is currently not working and will need attention. MOT until 19 October 2026. A well-maintained and well-specced facelift R230 SL500 that is becoming increasingly hard to find in this sort of condition.
