Available and up for your consideration at JLD Auto Group is this 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL 500! A stunning example with just 58k miles since 2004, this SL-class has only had one owner since 2006 and is presented in 'Brilliant Silver Metallic' over a 'Macchiato & Magma Grey Leather' Interior. The original MSRP of this example stretched to nearly $102,000, and after reviewing the options list, it's easy to see why. Optional equipment begins with the desirable AMG Sport Package, providing the SL 500 with 5-Hole Turbine-Style Directional Alloy Wheels enrobed in performance tires, along with a Body-Colored Front Air Dam, Side Skirts, and Rear Apron. Also on the exterior are the optional Bi-Xenon Headlights, as well as Mercedes' well-known Parktronic parking sensor system. The Panorama Roof with Sunshade is also present on this example, providing an extra element of ambient-light dynamics in what is already a hardtop convertible. Mercedes' Keyless Go system is also optioned, and is supplemented by more comfort and convenience in the interior with the Comfort Package. With this option, the SL gains Active Ventilated Seats with the Multi-Contour Seatbacks, making for one of the most comfortable seating environments in any luxury cruiser. Finally, these features can all be enjoyed with the aesthetics provided by Chestnut Interior Trim, which when combined with the equipped Trim Package, adds a combination leather/wood Steering Wheel and Gear Selector.

In addition to the optional equipment present on this SL, Mercedes-Benz has traditionally fitted the SL-class with extensive standard features and equipment. The SL 500 sports a 5.0L V8, producing 302hp and 339 lb-ft of torque, mated to a buttery 7-speed Automatic Transmission. Such a drivetrain can be smoothly enjoyed via the Independent 4-Link Front/5-arm Multilink Rear Suspension, which features Coil Springs and Electronically Controlled Hydraulic Cylinders with AMG Shock Absorbers at each wheel. These allow for Sport Mode, Automatic 4-wheel Level Control, Driver-Selectable Ride Height Control, and Automatic Speed-Sensitive Lowering to all be possible. Supplementing the ride comfort is an Aluminum Electrohydraulic Retractable Hardtop, giving both coupe- and convertible-like capabilities to the SL.

Finally, this SL 500 has received meticulous care throughout its life, with extensive documentation of service records. Recently, this example received new tires and a thorough servicing, though regular service intervals and preventative maintenance have been followed for the vehicle's lifespan and are visible on its corresponding Carfax.

Overall, this SL 500 represents the finest from Mercedes-Benz in the mid-2000s, with many of this example's features remaining quite desirable even today. The SL-class is often known as a timeless automobile, and this meticulously maintained example accompanied by its Original Books and 3 Keys is certainly no exception.
