Vehicle Heritage and Overview
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is a striking example of timeless design, powerful performance, and luxurious comfort, and this particular car stands out for both its condition and its desirable specification. Finished in classic black over black leather, it presents an elegant and commanding presence that perfectly complements the SL’s long hood, sculpted lines, and retractable hardtop silhouette. With just 50,700 miles on the odometer, this SL550 has been meticulously preserved, and it shows—its paint is near flawless, carrying a deep, mirror-like gloss, while the interior remains spotless, with supple black leather, hand-finished wood trim, and premium materials that appear virtually untouched. The retractable hardtop operates seamlessly, transforming the car from a refined coupe to an open-air roadster at the push of a button.
Mechanically, this SL550 has just undergone an extensive service totaling more than $5,000, with full documentation available. This recent investment ensures that the 5.5-liter V8—delivering 382 horsepower through a smooth-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission—performs at its very best. The car’s adaptive suspension, refined handling, and effortless acceleration make it equally rewarding on a spirited drive or a long-distance cruise. Comfort and technology are abundant, with dual-zone climate control, the COMAND infotainment system, and advanced safety features integrated seamlessly into the driving experience.
For buyers seeking a well-preserved luxury convertible, this SL550 represents a rare opportunity. The combination of its low mileage, desirable black-on-black color scheme, immaculate cosmetic condition, and significant recent servicing makes it stand apart from other examples on the market. This car is turnkey ready, offering both collector-quality presentation and the promise of many more miles of enjoyment.
