A piece of automotive history! Jeremy Clarkson, Steve Jobs, and Michael Jordan have all owned one of these. Simply one of Mercedes best! This SL55 is spectacular. I have owned it for 4 years or so. I've babied it, never winter driven, and always kept up on maintenance and repairs. I am a Master-Certified mechanic and I own and operate a high-end automotive repair facility (do a web search for Integrity First Automotive in West Jordan, Utah). I am not and never have been a dealer and this car is my personal car. In my ownership I have (of course) kept the maintenance current. It has been stored in winters and this spring we just completed replacing both batteries, the driver's headlight ignitor, and a headlight washer. Just today we performed an oil and filter service (using the recommend Mobil 1 oil of course). Other service in my ownership include: fuel pump and filter, drive belts, trans fluid and filter service, rear brakes (pads and rotors), active body control (ABC) system fluid flush and filter change (VERY important for MB ABC cars), filters, oil changes, etc. I have owned this car for the last 20k miles or so. I bought it from a local used car dealer here in Utah - he claims it came from Walnut Creek CA. The pictures should do the talking - it is very, very nice. There is the odd stone chip here and there in the paint but very few - a couple have been touched up on the driver's fender. I dare-not say there are no scratches or dents but if they are there they are very hard to see - the body and paintwork is a 9+ on a 1-10 scale. The dr's seat is more worn than the passenger's and the trunk sometimes has to be slammed to close correctly. Tires are getting lower on tread but ok for now. Brakes all around are good. Engine runs like a top - as you can see in the picts the computer has no errors. Updated NAV discs included. Also included the silly cupholder for the passenger side and some netting things for cargo / I have the original manual too. I have three keys: two physical keys and an active/working keyless-go card for your wallet. Keyless-Go works great (of course). Windshield is still original. Everything performs as it should. It has never been abused / in fact I rarely use it - hence the sale (as you can see in the picts the registration expired in February but I haven't re-registered it because I haven't driven it). It was never involved in any accidents during my ownership. The autocheck report suggests that it had a minor accident before I owned it - I cannot see any evidence of this and I am a master-mechanic / I can see bodywork. The bumpers are original MB bumpers, the panels all look original, the paint is beautiful, etc, etc. If it had work done it was done very well. I'll be sad to see to go but I just don't use it and can't justify keeping it. You will absolutely love it. Local bidders are welcome to see it if an appointment is pre-arranged.
