The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, which stretches back to the 1950s, is yet another formidable performer in the Merc family. The first SL was the 300SL, an outstanding car in its day, and only grew to be better with more luxury fittings, designs, technologies, and power. SL stands for Sports Leicht, which translates to sports lightweight and the digits traditionally refer to the engine size. This is a stunning example of a 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Roadster which, as the digit stands, has a robust 5.0L V8 engine tucked under the hood. This SL500, which is located in Indiana, has less than 60,000 miles on the odometer and has recently had an oil change. It also comes with the original owner’s manual and three keys. With a wealth of factory options, this is the ideal car for those who seek for an open-air, two-seater grand touring experience.
Exterior and Interior
To attain a road-inhaling stance, this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Roadster gained a longer wheelbase, broader track, and reduced overhang over its predecessor. The Mercedes-Benz star is proudly displayed in the midst of a four-bar grill on the car’s nose. Our subject car boasts a black exterior and is topped off with a hardtop that fold down to the trunk. It is optioned with a glass roof and the AMG Styling package, which includes a front spoiler and side skirts. Thanks to the Active Body Control technology, it rides elegantly on 18" AMG spoked wheels. The Anthracite interior of our 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Roadster screams luxury with hints of Wood Burred Walnut Veneer on its dash and doorframes. It is equipped with a Bose premium sound system, CD changer and heated front seats.
Engine
Underneath the hood is the mighty 5.0L V8 engine that a roadster like this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 deserves. It roars to life upon startup and continues to churn out 302 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. Also included is a recently installed new battery. The engine transmits power to the rear wheels via a 5-speed 5G-TRONIC automatic gearbox with M-B's TouchShift selector, which permits manual gear changes when needed. According to Mercedes-Benz literature from the time, the SL500 sprints from 0-60 in 6 seconds on the way to its limited top speed of 155mph.
The R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class arrived as one of the most technologically advanced roadsters of its era, blending traditional Mercedes-Benz luxury with innovations such as a fully retractable hardtop and the brand’s sophisticated electronic chassis systems. This 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 represents the naturally aspirated V8-powered heart of the lineup, featuring the proven 5.0L M113 V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Showing 73,171 miles, this example is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over a Charcoal interior and features Natural Maple Wood Trim, aftermarket wheels, tinted taillights, and SL 55 AMG badging that give it a more performance-inspired presence.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has long represented the brand’s vision of the ultimate personal luxury roadster, combining sports car performance with the refinement of a grand touring coupe. Introduced for the 2003 model year, the R230-generation SL brought a new era of technology to the legendary SL nameplate, replacing the traditional soft top with an innovative retractable power hardtop that could transform the car from a sleek coupe into an open-air roadster at the touch of a button. This 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 carries that formula forward with its timeless design, advanced engineering, and naturally aspirated V8 power. Showing approximately 123,845 miles, this example is finished in Fire Opal Red Unilac over a Beige interior and is equipped with desirable features including AMG Double-Spoke 18-inch wheels, Keyless-GO, COMAND navigation, Bose premium audio, and heated front seats. At the heart of the SL 500 is Mercedes-Benz’s highly regarded 5.0L M113 V8, delivering the smooth, effortless performance that made the SL-Class a benchmark among luxury grand tourers. Designed for drivers who appreciate both craftsmanship and capability, this SL 500 represents an era when Mercedes-Benz combined advanced technology, elegant styling, and traditional V8 character into one sophisticated roadster.
The R129-generation Mercedes-Benz SL is widely regarded as one of the brand's finest grand touring roadsters, blending timeless styling, advanced engineering, and exceptional build quality. Introduced to commemorate the legendary 1955 300 SL "Silver Arrow" race cars, the 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 Silver Arrow Edition was produced in limited numbers for the model's final year in the United States, making it one of the most desirable variants of the R129. This example shows approximately 72,910 miles and is finished in exclusive Silver Arrow Metallic over a distinctive Black and Silver two-tone Nappa leather interior. Combining rarity with luxury and V8 performance, this limited-production roadster offers collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to own one of Mercedes-Benz's most celebrated modern classics.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
