Ill be its impossible to get more car for less money than this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. With towering performanceand#44; bulletproof reliabilityand#44; incomparable luxuryand#44; and a shockingly affordable priceand#44; its a way to become an A-list celebrity without quitting your day job. These cars were unbeatable on the Autobahnsand#44; featuring a supercharged DOHC V8 engine that cranked out 469 horsepower. The redesigned SL had a predatory lookand#44; sleeker and more aggressive than the car they replacedand#44; and with the AMG body kitand#44; its sinister and purposeful. If this car charges up in your rear-view mirror at triple-digit speedsand#44; you MOVE. This one has been nicely maintained and shows you what you got for nearly $120and#44;000 in 2003: glossy black paintand#44; impeccable build qualityand#44; and an understated elegance that only the most expensive cars can wear. Theres a deeper front spoiler with three intakes (painted red just for effect) along with some deeper side skirts and the all-important V8 Kompressor badges on the front fenders. Out backand#44; you dont need a wing but you do get quad exhaust tips that rumble with the best V8 soundtrack this side of a Hemi Cudaand#44; along with some additional red details that make this particular AMG stand out. This is a car that gets noticed for all the right reasons. The interior is exceptionaland#44; featuring comfortable gray leather buckets and top-shelf materials throughout. Theres veryand#44; very little wearand#44; a testament to the quality of the workmanship and the care this car has receivedand#44; and aside from the usual AMG treatmentand#44; its still the wonderful SL you know and love. The fat steering wheel frames a set of high-tech looking dials in their own custom binnacleand#44; the wood trim is real woodand#44; and every feature known to man was standardand#44; including climate controland#44; power windowsand#44; locksand#44; mirrorsand#44; and seatsand#44; and a powerful AM/FM/CD/navigation system in the center of the dash. The seats are a little more aggressive in AMG trimand#44; theres some extra aluminum trim on the dashand#44; and theres low-reflection Alacantara trim on the top of the dash. The folding hardtop is still a mechanical ballet for which you could charge an admission fee and the trunk is neatly finished with plush carpets that are nicer than those in your living room. The Germans dont mess around when it comes to high-end 2-seat luxury cars. But the real reason this car is special is the 5.4 liter supercharged V8 living under the hood. At just 1500 RPMand#44; its already making 369 pounds of torque and with 516 pounds at full songand#44; there arent many cars made today that can hang with it on the roll. Theres hair-trigger response to throttle inputsand#44; and youll probably find yourself flying along at speeds far greater than expected until you recalibrate the seat of your pants to this cars extraordinary abilities. Its limited to 155 MPHand#44; but there are unrestricted cars in Europe that will power past 200 MPHand#44; so you know this one has the oats. The 5-speed automatic transmission is a worthy companionand#44; always smooth but ready to downshift and put the V8 into the sweet spot on its power curve to dispatch the pesky Mustang next to you. Brakes are massive vented discs that youll be happy to haveand#44; and the calipers have been painted red to add some sparkle. The underside is used but not abused or modifiedand#44; and certainly not rustyand#44; which is partly why this one is so affordable. Gorgeous 18-inch wheels fill the fenders and carry staggered 225/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rear Continental performance radials. Complete with maintenance recordsand#44; this is one heck of a bang for the buck. If youve dreamed of A-list performanceand#44; its finally within financial reach. Call today! |
