2004 Mercedes-Benz SL600

Be sure to use your browser's inner scroll bar to see all 100 high resolution photos below.

This is a one owner, clean Carfax, fully serviced and detailed example of the Mercedes-Benz SL600 V12 roadster. Purchased new at Sears Imports Mercedes-Benz in Minnetonka, MN, it has been serviced exclusively at Sears Imports or Mercedes-Benz of Maplewood in Maplewood, MN throughout its life. I have been asked by the car's owner to handle its sale. The clean, clear MN title is in hand.

Color is Pewter Metallic w/ Charcoal leather interior (looks grey in some photos due to lighting, but 'charcoal' is basically very dark grey, almost black), headliner is light grey Alcantara (faux suede).

Actual one owner miles were 59,639 when I took these photos yesterday, I probably put another 10 - 15 miles on the car after the photos.

Equipment includes, but is not limited to:
Comfort Package (Heated and ventilated seats, Dynami Multi-Contour Seatbacks)
Trim Package (Wood and leather steering wheel and shift knob)
AMG Sport Package (5-hole turbine style direction wheels, body-colored AMG-designed sculpted front air dam, side skirts, rear apron)
Panorama roof
KEYLESS GO
Navigation
CD changer (in compartment behind driver's seat)
Headlamp washers
The car has THREE Mercedes-Benz keys
Integrated cell phone in console (long defunct, but there)

As you probably know, it's powered by a 5.5 liter Bi-turbo V12 producing 493 hp.

Exterior: This car was never driven during the Winter here in Minnesota, these cars are useless here in the Winter anyway. The owner of this car has a sort of 'garage-majal' that's thousands of square feet with a number of other cars, it's led a charmed life. Excellent condition all the way around. Paint is original on every panel. I went around the car with my digital paint meter and all variance in mils is withing acceptable factory spec. The car has never been in an accident, it's never had a panel repainted due to a ding, dent or scratch. There are no dents or dings anywhere. There are a handful of small rock chips along the leading edge of the hood, around the Mercedes badge, and a few on the top of the hood, as indicated in the photos, I pointed out some of them, you'll get the idea. There is a light scratch on the lower driver's side bumper, close to the front wheel well, i also pointed that out in the photos, those are the only exterior blemishes of any kind that I could find.Windshield is clean, clear and has no chips or cracks. The wheels are free of curb rash, there are water beads / streaks from driving the car out of the detail shop, visible in a few of the photos, they're not blemishes.

Interior: The charcoal leather interior is in excellent condition also, you would never guess there were 59,000 miles on the car. The carpets are clean, soft and supple. Wood trim is in great condition throughout. The seats are very nice, the only wear visible is on the driver's side outboard seat bolster (close up photo of that below). The passenger's seat presents as basically new. There is one little scuff on the leather along the console near where the passenger buckles their seat belt, probably a fingernail when buckling the belt, again, clearly shown in a photo below. No strange smells of any kind... not smoke, mothballs or anything else, just Mercedes leather.

Mechanical: This car was just treated to a pre purchase inspection and 'blank check' service at Sears Imports Mercedes-Benz last week... total service was $6,500+ (5 page service receipt is included in the photos below). Some of the things that were done include:
Flex B service
Fuel Filter
Engine mounts
Front Lower Control Arms
Alignment
Radiator Flush
Brake Flush
New spark plugs
Differential service
Transmission flush

The owner reported a slight rattle in the hard top which was fixed, the CD changer was also serviced and works as it should.
 
The car received front and rear brake pads and rotors in 2012 at approximately 56,000 miles, they currently measure 10mm in front and 8mm in back.
Michelin Pilot Sport tires were inspected during the service, they show 6mm in front and 5mm in back.
 
All original book and manuals are with the car as well as 2 complete sets of Navigation DVDs as well as past service records and 3 keys.
 
Summary: The owner just spent $6,500 on this car so you don't have to, so it could be sold with 'no excuses'. It is seriously and reasonably for sale. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any moment if the right offer comes along. The right offer can end the auction and put this car in your garage today.
