Overview of 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Roadster For Sale by Owner

With the usual class of German signature precision engineering expected from the likes of Mercedes-Benz, the SL500 rolled out of the factory with a solid proposition to deliver great performance without compromising on luxury. It's a status symbol that makes a statement for its driver wherever it goes. This particular 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Roadster is an excellent choice for the person who wants more than just luxury private transportation on the road. Although you'll have to lock and unlock your doors manually as the current owner reports the remote functionality doesn't work, this car otherwise is in great condition, having proven its longevity with 70,000 miles reported on the clock, and is ready to be claimed by its next owner.

Exterior and Interior

Decked in a dashing Maroon exterior, this SL500 is dressed to impress; with its smooth, flowing body and subtle curves, this car is hard not to steal a glance at. The iconic Mercedes logo sits prominently on the front, with the small but striking grille, and the lights are reminiscent of the other Mercedes offerings at the time. The twin tailpipes at the back add a hint of metallic character to the otherwise elegant and classic aesthetic of the SL500. Being a convertible, the hard-top roof retracts to open up the cabin to the elements, perfect for a drive during good weather, with the reassurance of protection when it isn't. Stepping inside, you'll find yourself surrounded by the best luxury offerings Mercedes had during the early 2000s. The Dark Grey leather interior reported by the current owner soothes the eyes, removing anything that might distract from the complete driving experience. The seats are power operated and settle you comfortably, and when the engine isn't enough entertainment, the owner-reported CD player is at your disposal.

Engine

The refined nature of the SL500 bleeds into the engine and its personality as well. This rear-wheel-drive vehicle has a powerful 5L V8 at the front, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, delivering over 300hp and 339lb-ft of torque at its peak, taking this roadster to 60mph from a standstill in less than six seconds. It's a powerful and capable engine that is refined, smooth and elegant and ready to be welcomed into your garage.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz S 560 already knows how to make an entrance, but this one decided the standard S-Class treatment simply was not enough. Finished in a Black/Silver two-tone Maybach-style vinyl wrap, riding on aftermarket wheels, and wearing Maybach badging, it brings a little limousine theater to the regular-wheelbase S 560 formula. Underneath the costume, however, this is still a properly equipped flagship Mercedes with a twin-turbocharged V8, Premium Package, Driver Assistance Package, Nappa leather, and Black Poplar wood trim. With 49,933 miles, it offers plenty of S-Class substance with a decidedly tongue-in-cheek dose of Maybach-inspired presence.
