This 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is finished in black over black leather and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes a power-retractable hardtop, a panoramic sunroof, the AMG Sport Package, Active Body Control suspension, COMAND infotainment with navigation, Bose audio, dual-zone automatic climate control, climatized multicontour seats, rain sensing wipers with heated washer nozzles, aluminum doorsill guards, and dual chrome exhaust tips. The car was sold new at Mercedes-Benz of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and has remained registered in the state through its acquisition by the seller in May 2021. Recent maintenance is said to have included recharging the air conditioning system, flushing the ABC system, and changing the engine oil.
The car is finished in Black (040) and features a power-retractable hardtop with a panoramic sunroof as well as the AMG Sport package that adds revised front and rear valances, body color sport side skirts, and polished dual chrome exhaust tips. Additional equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, and side vents. The Carfax report indicates “minor damage” in February 2019 with no further details are provided.
Split-spoke 18″ AMG wheels are mounted with 255/40 front and 285/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires showing 2016 date codes. The car is equipped with Active Body Control suspension, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs with cross-drilled front rotors. The seller reports that the ABC system was flushed in preparation for the sale.
The cabin features climatized multicontour seats upholstered in Black Nappa Leather and joined by a matching dashboard, center console, carpets, and door panels. Burred walnut veneer trim accents the steering wheel, shifter, center console, and door panels. Additional equipment includes COMAND infotainment with navigation, Bose audio, a trunk mounted six-disc CD changer, Keyless Go, dual-zone automatic climate control, a wind deflector, and aluminum doorsill guards and pedals.
The multi-function steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature, and two inset display screens. The digital odometer indicates 35k miles.
The 5.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque when new. Service performed in preparation for the sale reportedly included recharging the air conditioning system, performing an oil change, and replacing filters.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode.
