2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550
Presentation
This 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 was purchased in 2015 by the seller, who has since added approximately 34k of the 61k indicated miles. The car is finished in Steel Grey Metallic over a Red and Black Nappa leather interior, and it is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The car was optioned with the Premium, Full Leather Seating, and Sport Wheel packages, highlights of which include 19″ AMG five-spoke alloy wheels, heated and active-ventilated multi-contour seats with massage functionality, AIRSCARF neck-level heating, and Keyless Go. The car was further specified with a panoramic glass roof for the power-folding hardtop, Parktronic parking sensors, illuminated door sills, and Distronic adaptive cruise control. Service since 2022 has included replacing the power steering pump, both front struts, and the air conditioning compressor hose, as well as rebuilding the convertible top. This R230 is now offered with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and a Texas title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Steel Grey Metallic (755) and features a power-folding convertible hardtop, a panoramic glass roof, bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, Parktronic parking sensors, dark tinted headlamps and tail lamps, dual exhaust outlets, and fender air vents. The convertible top was rebuilt with replacement cylinders and tint was added to the front windows in April 2023, and the seller notes the front latch cylinder was replaced and hydraulic fluid was added in preparation for the sale. Blemishes on the body, including scraping on the front valance, are shown in the gallery below, and the seller notes paint touch-up on the passenger door, a dent in the hood, and a crack in the front emblem.
The 19″ AMG five-spoke alloy wheels were reportedly mounted Otani KC2000 tires in May 2026. The car features Active Body Control (ABC) suspension as well as an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Automatic Slip Control (ASR). The Sport Wheel package added silver-finished front brake calipers and perforated rear brake discs. The power steering and ABC pump was replaced in September 2022 and the front struts were replaced in February 2023.
The heated, ventilated, and massaging multi-contour seats are upholstered in Red Nappa leather, and Black Nappa leather covers the center console armrest and top portions of the dashboard and door panels. Black Ash wood trim accents the cabin, and additional amenities include Airscarf neck-level warming, dual-zone automatic climate control, Distronic adaptive cruise control, Keyless Go, illuminated door sills, a Harman Kardon sound system, and COMAND with navigation. The AC compressor hose was replaced in June 2025 according to the seller, and there is wear to the driver’s seat bolsters.
The wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 61k miles, approximately 34k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.5-liter M273 V8 was factory rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in August 2026.

@microeye AC works great! Photo #146 appears to be the invoice for the front struts. You might look at that invoice and see if your question is answered. (I had to right click it and open it in a new window to really zoom in on it to read it since I don't have the paperwork in front of me at the moment)

@DallasSL550 - thanks for the great presentation. Does the A/C now hold pressure and blow cold? I’m surprised it needed front struts as it has the upgraded ABC-2 system. Was it leaking fluid or possibly a contamination issue? Just curious. Thanks.

Beautiful car....no need for a 55 AMG when you have this. Thanks for the great maintenance history. It's great to see, although unfortunate for you, that so much has been done. $3400 per year average in Maint. That's a SL for you.
