2009 Mercedes-Benz R231 SL

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG is finished in Palladium Silver Metallic over red leather and is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed AMG Speedshift MCT transmission. The car was 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. Additional equipment includes a power-retractable hardtop, Airscarf, bi-xenon headlights, 19″ AMG wheels, Parktronic, Keyless Go, heated and ventilated seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, and COMAND with navigation. The seller purchased the car on BaT in May 2022 and subsequent work consisted of reupholstering the driver’s seat, replacing the spark plugs, installing tires, and flushing the brake fluid. This R230 SL shows 18k miles and is now offered with a reproduction window sticker, the owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name. The car is finished in Palladium Silver Metallic (792) and features a power-folding convertible hardtop. Other equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, fender air vents, Parktronic 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. Rock chips on the hood and cracked paint along the chin spoiler are viewable in the gallery below. The 19″ AMG twin five-spoke wheels are part of the optional AMG Performance Package and are wrapped in 255/35 front and 285/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires, that were installed recently. The car features Active Body Control suspension as well as electronic stability control, Automatic Slip Regulation (ASR), and an AMG High-Performance Braking System with slotted and cross-drilled front rotors and drilled rear rotors. A brake fluid flush was performed in 2023. The heated and ventilated power-adjustable multi-contour seats are upholstered in red leather joined by a matching lower dashboard and door panel inserts contrasted by black leather and carbon-fiber trim. Amenities include an Alcantara headliner, dual-zone automatic climate control, Airscarf neck and shoulder heating, a pop-up roll bar, Keyless Go, cruise control, a Harman Kardon sound system, and COMAND infotainment with navigation. The driver’s seat was reupholstered under current ownership. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames AMG-branded instrumentation including a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 18k miles, approximately 2k 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 and features a plaque with the name of the technician who assembled it. Work under current ownership consisted of cleaning the fuel injectors, flushing the cooling system, and replacing the battery, fuel filter, and spark plugs. 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 P30 package also raised the electronically limited top speed to 186 mph. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage.
