Because it's fun and it gets your attention. After all, this is Las Vegas. What more could you expect? Let's be clear, the models pictured with the vehicles are paid for the express purpose of showing off and presenting the vehicles. They are not included with the sale of the vehicles or available to go with them at any point during the presentation online. In other words, Models Not Included But included with this sale, the winning bidder that does complete the transaction will receive all digital photographs of the vehicle and the models if they want them. Super Low Mileage • Full Service History • Incredible Performance If you want to talk deal, pick up the phone and make your serious offer. 702-353-7500 Before you send me an email asking me for my "best price, bottom-line or asking price" let me just make a suggestion based on 36 years of buying and selling experiences. Deals are made through conversations, not texting, not emailing or conversations without even knowing who or what you are talking to, they happen through personal contact. I want my my clients to know who they are trying to make a deal with. I want to know their real intent to buy also. This equation does not exist with "What's your best price?" and no personal contact. I have gone to great lengths to find this incredible vehicle, make sure it's the best it can be for you and present it in a way that no other seller does online. I do that so we can talk, make a clear deal, fair for both sides and watch a happy buyer enjoy their new ride. If you just don't have the gumption to make contact and you just want an idea of price, look at what the market values posted above say, they are fairly accurate on AVERAGE vehicles across the US. If you think this vehicle is average, above or below, bid accordingly or. . . pick up the phone and have a pleasant conversation with a real enthusiast that can make your deal on the spot. Keeping it real. Let's make a deal...Call me Doug 702-353-7500 When I see an AMG at any auction like this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG my radar goes on full alert. First, because an AMG is the poster child for WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCE CARS. So right off the bat I take a look because I just love these cars and have owned many of them. Never bought one new thank goodness. At well into the low six figures, ($140K new) I am always amazed at how reasonable they become after a decade and a half and even better is when you find them with super low miles like this one. It is not just the low miles that I look for though, it has to have been maintained to perfection and obviously babied by loving owners that knew caring for a high dollar investment would payoff in pleasurable returns. When it comes to pleasurable returns, not too many world class exotics do it as well and as reasonable as the AMG SL55s. This is a completely drivable on an everyday basic car. Unlike Ferrari or Lamborghini or other high end exotics, this car is readily maintainable, parts are reasonable and at a competent shop, repairs are not five figure engagements. So often, my clients who have never owned these great cars think they are too costly to keep up. Do you research and you will find that they fall in just above the averages of standard automobiles. That is why these cars on almost every single buyers site have super high ratings and satisfaction levels. That's also why I am confident in buying them to resale as well. I have great customer satisfaction with them for years and I am sure you will too. Take a strong look at this car from top to bottom, read the incredible service history that is fully documented below and you will be just as impressed as I was in buying for you to own. She's stunning top to bottom, no wreck history, no major issues that have not been addressed through a thorough service history with Mercedes Benz dealers. You are going to want this World Class Ride. 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG VIN: WDBSK74F63F051206 Odometer: 59,272 Engine: 5.4 Liter SOHC supercharged V8 Transmission: Electronic 5-speed automatic Exterior: Black Interior: Charcoal leather Built: Apr-03 - Bremen, Germany Over 189 high resolution pictures below.

You are looking for the nicest, best kept Mercedes-Benz you can find. You are here because the quality in your neck of the woods, by any measure, is a joke. I know exactly how you feel. I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions searching for the best of the best for what I call "niche autos." I scan lists with thousands of vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay. AMG Mercedes' make it onto my own list every time they show up but just a small number will appear at one of the three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or perhaps in local classifieds. During the past 13 years doing business, I see dozens or more annually and what that means for you is; I have looked at, touched, smelled and walked away from a lot of AMGs. I am extremely picky and this supercharged 2-seater is one of just a handful worthy my hard earned money. Past ownership, service history and condition, condition, condition are what matters. Vehicles with this much power are not always treated well, but a precious few are taken care of and given proper respect. This particular SL55 is one of those rare finds; beautiful paint, spectacular interior, service history and an absolute knock-out to see in person. As good as my pictures are, they can't possibly show the true excellence this car instantly conveys in real life. What else could you want? A great deal? I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine AMG for wholesale or even low book value. You already know you get what you pay for and if you want unmatched quality, service and perhaps, the fastest car you have ever driven, this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Read what we have to say about driving this exceptional drop-top bullet. Examine every picture in detail, see the amazing condition, up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Doug - Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc. 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG with 59,272 miles and great service history. Body and paint are awesome, interior is spectacular and the car functions and drives practically like brand new.

The system automatically lowers the car at high speeds . . . The SL55's rear diffuser, quad pipes and wide 285/35 rear rubber looks substantially different than a normal SL. Stock 18" rim upgraded to the 19" AMG rims. They are not damaged, but the polishing on the edges could use refinishing. . . . I didn't because most buyers might upgrade to aftermarket rims anyways. Gorgeous, smooth body and AMG 19-inch wheels . . . Packing 493 horsepower and an attention getting 516 ft-lbs. torque, this SL roadster will change most people's concept of what a fast car is. Like most AMG vehicles, the R230 version SL55 is a modern day legend. These rockets are revered not just because they are among the most powerful cars in the world, but because they stay together and have the bullet-proof build quality of a Mercedes-Benz. This AMG is indeed scary fast but it is also well behaved and even docile in day-to-day driving. And you don't have to be a narcissist to enjoy envious stares from other SL owners. Rare quality condition, documented maintenance and built-in, permanent cult-car exclusivity; this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG is the perfect high performance, long term investment . . . Convertible hard top function is fully automatic. A single button push initiates a precisely choreographed origami performance; the trunk opens backwards, the top rises and simultaneously moves back as the rear window separates, rotates horizontal and the two then spoon one another with C-pillars chaperoning everything lower into the trunk. Occurring at the same time; a cover behind the roll bar folds forward with smaller covers popping open to the sides. The roof assembly finally settles on top of (but not touching) the trunk separator while large ears sprout from under the trunk lid. The front cover flaps back shut and the "ears" come down softly on either side, forming two tight fit corners and a perfectly flush tonneau cover . . . The roll bar can be powered up ay any time and deploys automatically if a roll-over is imminent . . . Unlike some convertible hard tops, R230 generation SLs preserve a good amount of trunk space with the roof stowed. It also makes loading with the top down more convenient with the Easy-Pack system; that raises the stowed roof assembly with the press of a button . . . Premium leather on dash/console/door panels armrests/roll bar/rear cabin panels, navigation, smog-sensing electrostatic dust/pollen filter, Bose audio, air conditioned console and glove box, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, and a whole lot more . . . (see long list above) AMG Design Sport Seats • 12-Way Power Adjustable with 3-Position Memory • Hand Fitted Perforated Leather with AMG Badges • Dynamic Multi-Contour Active Ventilated with 8-Internal Fans • Adjustable Side Bolsters • Triple Lumbar Supports (massaging center lumbar) Ultra low 59,272 miles works out to less than 5k a year since new. 200 MPH speedometer is no idle threat; with the right tires, this car will do it . . .

Brake pads are good front to back Original owner books. A note from the owner. I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone and talk a serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond to emails asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now" figures on top line cars. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE FIGURES IS TO CALL ME! The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling figures. NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if their values were not real but their figures are averaged for the entire nation. If this car is less than or better than this average, bid or offer accordingly.
