Background Story of this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500

Overview of 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 For Sale by Owner

Open-top motoring equates to an unmatched drive experience, with a performance at your fingertips and the world passing you by. Life is good, and the world is yours. Finding the right motor to experience all these emotions is easier said than done. Let's cut out the trouble and present you with this 2003 Mercedes SL500 Designo we have today. With a reported 62,700 miles on the clock, this German cruiser is a Designo Launch Edition that can be yours to treasure and experience true automotive nirvana.

Exterior and Interior

The SL marque has seen some of the world's most handsome roadsters gracing coastal roads and spirited B road drives. Turn back the clock to the early 2000s; the R320 was stealing hearts; even Jeremy Clarkson had one. This 2003 Mercedes SL500 Designo sports a unique Designo Silver Metallic exterior and is a rare cookie in the world of Mercedes-Benz SL R320. The uber-cool exterior color brings out the sleek styling, and is in great condition for its age; speaking of things that are cool, this German legend comes with scissor doors. In terms of stance, this vehicle is lowered and sits on its factory chrome wheels. Your drives are made special when the retractable top is off; regardless if you choose open-top motoring or a toned-down drive, the black interior of this 2003 Mercedes SL500 Designo aims to give you the luxury and a drive feel that's unparalleled.

Engine

A V8 roadster that sports German engineering, yes, read that again and imagine the world through the lens of good looks, performance, and true driving nirvana. Matching the performance feel of this mid-2000s Mercedes-Benz design and powering this 2003 Mercedes SL500 Designo is a 5.0L V8 powertrain capable of churning out smiles per gallon on demand. The German powerhouse is reported to have seen a tune-up recently to ensure everything is running fine; you would also find new batteries in place to rid of any electrical gremlins. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels and ensures tail-happy motoring through a 5-speed 5G-TRONIC automatic transmission. The current owner reports a new hydraulic suspension in place to ensure this car lives up to its silky smooth drive feel.

PENDING SALE
$9,999
SOLD

Mercedes-Benz replaced its successful R107 SL-Class with the R129 in 1988. The R129 brought fresh styling by Mercedes-Benz design maestro Bruno Sacco to the automaker’s pinnacle two-door grand tourer, plus fresh engineering. Like the previous generation, it could be had with a removable hardtop to augment its powered soft top. Today, the R129 is a highly desirable modern classic, and a car that can be driven daily if desired. If that kind of value proposition appeals to you, here’s a 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL500 from Virginia with under 43,000 miles to its name. This car is said to be all stock save for an upgraded radio. Let’s see what it offers.

2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$144,999

Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
