2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550

2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Convertible For consignment, a 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 convertible with a title verified 50,414 actual miles. New wheels and tires, new paint, and S55 exhaust tips highlight this high end sports car with an attractive white over saddle spec. Note: This vehicle is sold with a Pennsylvania reconstructed branding as well as a flood branding on the title Exterior Fans of the SLR will appreciate the side fender gills here which resemble the supercars feature in miniature, providing a similar aggressive feature. While were at the cars side, we note the newer wheels which are factory 2019 wheels, here wrapped in staggered size, low profile ZR rated tires with a late 2024 date code. Diamond White paint does all it can to accentuate the features of the car, especially in front where integrated headlights flank a wide polished grille bar and of course, the three pointed star. Foglights are housed in contrasting black bezels and a gaping lower intake with the same mesh design as the grille, presented in black. Out back, a subtle carbon fiber wing contributes to sportiness and four chrome tips put an exclamation point on it! Some orange peel in the paint, scuffs on the chin, and chips on the wheels are noted as the only glaring imperfections. Interior The rich color palette begins on the door panels with beautiful Saddle materials and a burlwood accent, along with high quality black plastic housing the switchgear. The leather seats are perforated and the robust headrest also provides ventilation and both appear in nice condition, fronting a package area with bins that is consistent with the Benz quality. A black steering wheel has some thumb controls and fronts the attractive instrument cluster that sweeps rearward, covered in leather, and with the main gauges ringed in white for clarity. The center stack has a screen to display functions such as the AM/FM/CD player, navigation, and rear view camera, topping a burlwood faced A/C panel that melts into the center console where our straight shifter resides, along with switches and some dead buttons. Medium pile black carpet covers the floor along with protective rubber mats, and the trunk is a complex array of shelves and floor, finished in gray carpet, ready to accept the retractable hardtop. Drivetrain A large plastic shroud covers most of the 5.5 liter DOHC V8, pumping out 382 horsepower and set into motion via a 7-speed automatic with TouchShift manual shift control for those who need a bit more engagement. The gearing in back is 2.65 final drive. The bay presents cleanly with no errant fluids or broken components. Undercarriage Lots of plastic shrouds and splash guards underneath undoubtedly help with aerodynamics. The dual exhaust travels the center tunnel through original equipment mufflers, then snaking their way to exit with two pair of tips split wide at the valance. Power disc brakes are at all four wheels and suspension is independent front and rear, consisting of coil springs at both ends with a 5 link in back. Drive-Ability Comfortable, capable, and obviously powerful, this is a vert we could get used to! We find no issues with trackability, handling, or stopping and the engine idles smoothly, providing a luxury level exhaust note with just a hint of sportiness. All functions, and there are quite a few, operate as intended on this luxury sports car. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. If youre trying to keep up with the Joneses, or just want to treat yourself to a high quality automobile thats understated and somewhat exotic at the same time, then your chariot has just arrived!
