Mercedes SL600 (with 07 SL65 body, $25k in mods) Warranty till 4/2015 or 101K
Up for sale is my 2004 SL600 (V12 TWIN TURBO) with around 32k miles. No accidents/no story car!
Car is on ebay: ITEM NUMBER: 280508158957
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280508158957&ssPageNam e=STRK:MESELX:IT
This is not your typical or usual SL600. This car has a lot of time and money into it. The body is upgraded to the 2007 SL65.. note this is not the 05-06 older SL65 body but the 07-08 body.
Options from factory:
KEYLESS GO
BI XENON Headlights
XM Radio (LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION!!!!!!!)
Standard features:
Navigation
Heated & Cooled seats
Massaging/pulsating seats
Napa Leather (soft luxurious leather ONLY on 600 series Mercedes)
Full leather dash (not cheap vinyl like the 55 amg)
Wood grain steering wheel
V12 insignia floormats
6 Disc CD Changer
MODS:
- BRAND NEW NOT EVEN HERE YET! 19x8.5/19x9.5 Avant Garde M328 wheels - satin black finish (these are the wheels on the 2009 IWC SL63 special edition matte white car, that stickers around $185,000)
The white and black SL63 pics, are for show only, and are the wheels I have coming in.. they will not be silver, they will be satin/semi gloss black.
Also the black sl63 rear shot is to demonstrate what the sl63 spoiler looks like, that I have, that is not yet installed. That will come with the car!
BRAND NEW NOT EVEN ON YET 0 MILES! Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 Tires (255/35/19 & 285/30/19)
Renntech ELM (Lowering Module) Press switch under steering wheel, car lowers/raises. Renntech if you don't know is Mercedes authorized modifier in Germany.
Floored Fab Custom exhaust (Jet Hot coated black) - Sounds like a stock SL65 (no drone, VERY quiet, with radio on can't hear over radio)
BMC Air Filters
All the fins and door handle pieces paint matched to the car
07 SL65 Bumpers
07 SL65 3 fin grill
07 SL65 LED Tails
07 SL65 Front
07 SL65 3rd break light
Painted headlights similar to how it is on an SLR
Matte black custom paint scheme(not vinyl, it is painted and makes the car look amazing. Pictures do not do any justice)
The twin turbo V12 engine with the exhaust sounds exotic.. sounds more like a Lamborghini Gallardo then an SL.
The seats do not have the typical wear that most SLs experience. This car was driven 95% of the time in Arizona. NEVER SEEN SNOW, barely seen rain (handful of times).
Mods on the car that are not in pics:
2011 SL63 Trunk Spoiler
LED License plate lights (like the new lexus/bmws have)
Parking lights are not the ugly yellow lights that are on all Mercedes, they are now LED as well (so hyper white / HID looking light)
The wheels that I bought are not even here yet. The wheels in pics are sold and my new wheels will be here in a couple days which I will post pics of below. (Reason I bought new wheels was I planned to keep the car, however, a few buddies are really pressing me to partner up and buy this smaller hotel in a beach district and I need this toy gone to do that). I really will regret selling this car as its got so much into it. New the car was roughly $140,000 and has another $25k into it.
Now, the BEST part:
The car is under warranty till 4/2015 or 101,000 miles!! It has a Chrysler Service Contract. This is an exclusionary policy.. everything is covered. The warranty is as good as a new car or cpo warranty it covers anything, just take it to your local benz dealer, everyone on the benz forums uses it (mbworld.org/benzworld.org). It also includes a 5 day rental car for free, and the car has 24/7 Roadside Assistance.
What really ticks me off about these car dealers that sell these high end luxury cars that they buy as junk from auctions (well at least a bunch do). They say that line " extended warranty available " guess what? except for like 3 warranty companies (which cost $4-7k) - they will NOT cover the ABC suspension (look up repairs to this on google or the benz forums, the costs for repairs on the abc suspension range from $2500 to over $8000, yes $8000.
Guess what, these other companies will not cover the turbos on the engine or the superchargers on the 55 amg cars.
Chrysler Service Contract = EVERYTHING is virtually covered (except wear/tear like brakes, tires, and stuff like that- that no warranty covers). All that has to be done is transfer the warranty to the new owner, 1 piece of paper I submit, and it costs $40 or $50 to transfer the warranty.
I have owned a few 600/55k models. I know these cars VERY WELL!
Now onto price..This car:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercedes-Benz-SL600-Silver-Grey-One-Owner-31-000-miles-/150438714583?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=i tem2306d89cd7
^^^ that car doesn't even have sports package.. sports package is HUGE on the sl600 because the sports package has the AMG body.. otherwise it looks like an SL500 base .
But who cares about sports package.. my car has 07 (updated 07+) sl65 body and that car above also has NO WARRANTY! My warranty is bumper to bumper coverage till 4/2015 or 101k!
Now, that car went down to the wire in a bidding war, finally someone just clicked buy it now since it was a couple hundred shy of it anyway. THAT car sold for $42,888! - My reserve is not that much more, but I suspect the auction will go above that.. look what your getting for $?-7k (BIN price) more???!!!
Now lets talk about performance.
Stock this car does 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds. The cars exhaust did add a little hp (maybe 15 whp), but if any of you really like a fast car... for $1699 you can get an ECU/TCU tune. This will basically raise the boost on the turbos amongst other parameters. For $1699 this car will be faster than a stock SL65! The car for $1699 ( I can get you in touch with the guys who tune these cars ( I am a big enthusiast on many forums). I just never got a chance to do it yet.. but for $1699 the car will have 650 bhp/770 tq (engine numbers not wheel hp.. whp is around 510whp/650tq)
The SL600 is an amazing automobile, the car is a coupe when you want a coupe and a convertible when you want a vert.. no other car has the power, looks, options, and is coupe/vert -- And for this price, how can you go wrong, $45, $47, $50k.. what is out there that does everything this does?
I am sure by now you can tell I am a car enthusiast.. all my cars are treated like my baby. Overall the car is in VERY good shape for a 2004, the car has only a couple rock chips throughout the WHOLE EXTERIOR.. believe me I am VERY picky! The car received a full detail about 3 weeks ago. The interior is in great shape.. no wear really on the seats in SLs that is uncommon! The dash/wood, steering wheel all are in really great shape.
Everyone will think your driving around in a brand new SL, trust me I get it almost everyday.
I have the right to end this auction early, I have it listed on craigslist, MANY other car enthusiast websites, and honestly.. I am drawing a lot of interest. People see the pics and the mods and think I want $55, $65k... not even close...
Here is another piece of information.. this car at MANHEIM which is dealer auction, is selling for around $37-$38k in this condition, then keep in mind fees when you buy (over $25k the fee is $700+), transport fee back to the dealer, then the auction rat needs to be fixed up, parts resprayed on the car, mechanical fixes just patched to get the car sold, and then stick it to the owner, when they have a $5,000-$7,000 bill a month or two after buying the car.
This car is all here, full warranty, many mods, and had only 2 other owners besides myself. The previous owner was a buddy of mine, he bought it off the original owner with ONLY 9k miles!!! You can not get a nicer, more detailed orientated history than this car.. Do NOT blow your opportunity to get one of the nicest SL600s in the country.. everyone has an SL55 with a supercharged v8, there are TONS for sale.. go check autotrader/ebay/cars.com and see how many SL600s are for sale.. About 5 04-05 SL600s in the WHOLE COUNTRY!
I love cars and can talk to you about this car for hours. I also want to make a note, the car does not call for it.. but around 25k miles the car had all fluids flushed/changed. This was not a service that is done to a car with 25k miles.. for instance some of the fluids on this car are good for 100k miles.. but the fluids were changed way ahead of schedule - that is the type of owner myself and the previous owner (my friend) are like. Nothing but the best.
