2009 Mercedes-Benz R230 SL

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG is one of 100 Silver Arrow Launch Edition examples and was initially delivered to Mercedes-Benz of White Plains in New York prior to being purchased by the seller in 2012, and now has 41k miles. Finished in Silver Arrow over red leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed AMG Speedshift MCT transmission. Equipment includes a power-retractable hardtop, a panoramic glass roof, bi-xenon headlights with washers, 19″ AMG five-spoke alloy wheels, Keyless-Go, heated and ventilated power-adjustable multi-contour seats with position memory and massaging elements as well as a Harman Kardon sound system, an Airscarf system, parking sensors, and COMAND with navigation. The car was also optioned with the P30 Performance Package, which added a 186-mph speed limiter, AMG track-calibrated Active Body Control suspension, a limited-slip differential, and an AMG sport steering wheel with aluminum shift paddles. This R230 is now offered with factory literature, service records, a window sticker, a Carfax report, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name. All Silver Arrow Launch editions were finished in Silver Arrow Metallic, and this example features a power-folding convertible hardtop with a panoramic glass roof. Other equipment includes bi-xenon headlights with washers, fog lights, fender air vents, parking sensors, and AMG bodywork including a revised front spoiler, side skirts, and quad exhaust outlets. The car also features an “F1 safety car”-style front bumper cover with side air extractors as part of the P30 Performance Package. An accident is listed in a December 2011 entry of the Carfax report, which also shows damage in October 2022, which is said to have resulted in replacement of a front bumper cover in addition to application of touch-up paint to the body. The 19″ AMG five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with staggered-width Bridgestone tires. The car features track-calibrated Active Body Control (ABC) suspension as well as an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Automatic Slip Regulation (ASR), and an AMG braking system with eight-piston front calipers, four-piston rear calipers, and front and rear cross-drilled and ventilated discs. Curb damage is located on the right-rear wheel. The heated and ventilated multi-contour seats feature massaging and position memory elements and are trimmed in red leather, while piano black wood trim accents the cabin. AMG-branded floor mats line the footwells, and amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, Keyless-Go, a Harman Kardon sound system, a wind deflector, an Airscarf system, and COMAND with navigation. A plaque on the center console identifies the car as one of 100 Silver Arrow edition cars produced. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 41k miles, approximately 17k of which were added under current ownership. The 6.2-liter M156 V8 was factory rated at 518 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The P30 package also raised the electronically limited top speed to 186 mph. An oil change was performed in January 2023, and a replacement battery was fitted in May 2023. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed AMG Speedshift MCT transmission and a limited-slip differential that was fitted as part of the AMG Performance package. The window sticker lists initial delivery to Mercedes-Benz of White Plains in New York, along with factory colors, equipment, options, and a total retail price of $159,700. The Carfax report shows the aforementioned December 2011 accident and October 2022 damage and lists history in New York.
