Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG / 560 Horsepower / 20k original miles / 50 pics / Mint!
2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Description
Up for sale is my stunning 2003 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG with approximately 20,000 original miles. This is not your normal SL55 and is truly one of the best available. It has been adult/enthusiast owned, driven, and modified.
A normal (2003-2006) SL55 makes 493 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Because more is always better, I had to make a few small upgrades. The car now produces somewhere in the neighborhood of 560 horsepower and a bone crushing 615 ft-lbs of torque. This is the kind of raw power that snaps your neck back and pins you to the seat. I did additional cooling modifications (huge heat exchanger and Bosch high flow pump) to deal with the new found power. The transmission software has been updated as well and now has the stock torque limiters removed along with faster shifting. This hand built supercharged V8 makes an incredible noise and makes top down driving thrilling.
The SL Mercedes is undoubtedly beautiful and timeless in it's stock form. However, a few tasteful visual upgrades enhances that beauty whilst giving it a modern touch at the same time. Large 20" concave brushed aluminum wheels give the car an incredible stance along with a lowered suspension. The SL63 spoiler and clear brake light give it a nice touch.
The outdated wood trimmed interior has been upgraded with a 3M carbon fiber wrap. If you're a true audiophile, you'll appreciate the HiFi bluetooth audio DAC (24bit/192kHz) and Clarion equalizer that I've installed. The Auris BluMe uses AKM's Miracle DAC AK4396. You can stream HiFi lossless music from your phone's storage or from services such as Tidal. The audio outputted by the Bose sound system sounds great and has much more adjustability over the stock system. I've also added a Micro USB (QuickCharge 2.0) for Android phones and an Apple Lightning charging cable for iPhones neatly tucked into the center console armrest.
Maintenance on the vehicle is up to date and needs absolutely nothing. All fluids, filters, plugs, etc have just been changed. You will be starting with a clean slate in regard to maintenance history. Please see below for the full repair history that has just been completed.
All in all, I genuinely believe that this is one of the nicest SL55's on the market right now. You know what you're buying with this car with a full maintenance suite that has just been completed. The performance modifications make the car more visceral without sacrificing the luxury that is provided by Mercedes. I have the clean/clear title in hand and ready to go. I can assist with shipping if you're located out of the state. Please feel free to call/text/email me with any and all questions that you may have (412) 260-5877.
