2006 Mercedes-Benz SL 350 R230 2. HAND V6 AMG 19 ZOLL DEUTSCHE AUSFÜHRUNG...

**MERCEDES-BENZ SL 350 R230 | USED | 272 PS V6 | 19-INCH | GERMAN SPEC | MOT 09/2028**\\\*SL.**\\\*TWO LETTERS.**\\\*THAT’S ALL MERCEDES-BENZ REALLY NEEDS.**\\\\\*SPORT.**\\\*LIGHT.**\\\\\*That’s how the SL’s story began.**\\\*And over the decades, it became one of the great icons of the brand with the star.**\\\\\*300 SL.**\\\*190 SL.**\\\*PAGODE.**\\\*R107.**\\\*R129.**\\\*And then came:**\\\*THE R230.**\\\\\*THE SL FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM.**\\\*In 2001, Mercedes-Benz unveiled a completely new generation of the SL.**\\\*And by the way:**\\\*IN HAMBURG.**\\\\\*The R230 celebrated its world premiere at the Deichtorhallen.**\\\\\*25 years later, one can say:**\\\*THE DESIGN HAS AGED AMAZINGLY WELL.**\\\\\*Long.**\\\*Low-slung.**\\\*Wide.**\\\*A hood that seems to go on forever.**\\\*The rear is short and muscular.**\\\*And that distinctive silhouette—no one has to look twice to know:**\\\*THIS IS AN SL.**\\\\\*OURS IS AN SL 350.**\\\*And that means:**\\\*3.5 LITERS.**\\\*6 CYLINDERS.**\\\*272 PS.**\\\\\*No turbo.**\\\*No downsizing.**\\\*No hybrid.**\\\\\*But rather a classic:**\\\*V6 NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE.**\\\\\*Plus:**\\\*AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.**\\\*REAR-WHEEL DRIVE.**\\\*AND TWO SEATS.**\\\\\*Actually, a pretty good list of ingredients for a:**\\\*GRAND TOURER.**\\\\\*272 PS.**\\\*Today, in an era when even family SUVs are available with 400 or 500 PS, that might sound almost modest.**\\\\\*But:**\\\*272 PS DOESN’T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.**\\\\\*Especially not in an SL.**\\\\\*Because this car was never built to set an acceleration record at every traffic light.**\\\\\*The SL does something else much better:**\\\*TRAVELING.**\\\\\*Roof up.**\\\*Heated seats on.**\\\*Find a long country road.**\\\*And eventually realize:**\\\*ACTUALLY, WE JUST WANTED TO GO OUT FOR DINNER.**\\\\\*COUPE?**\\\*ROADSTER?**\\\*YES.**\\\\\*One of the R230’s greatest technical attractions remains its Variroof to this day.**\\\\\*Closed:**\\\*A REAL COUPE.**\\\\\*Press a button.**\\\\\*A little hydraulic ballet begins.**\\\\\*And just a few seconds later:**\\\*ROADSTER.**\\\\\*No fabric top.**\\\*No soft top.**\\\*No fiddling around.**\\\\\*RATHER:**\\\*PRESS THE BUTTON.**\\\*ROOF UP.**\\\\\*It was precisely this combination that made the R230 so fascinating back then.**\\\\\*Closed in the morning on the highway.**\\\*Open in the afternoon on country roads.**\\\*Closed in the evening in front of the hotel.**\\\\\*ONE CAR.**\\\*TWO PERSONALITIES.**\\\\\*SILVER.**\\\*BLACK.**\\\*MERCEDES.**\\\\\*Our SL features:**\\\*SILVER METALLIC.**\\\\\*Plus:**\\\*BLACK LEATHER.**\\\\\*Sometimes you don’t even need to explain a color combination much.**\\\\\*Silver Mercedes.**\\\*Black leather.**\\\\\*DONE.**\\\\\*It works in 2006.**\\\*And it works:**\\\*in 2026.**\\\\\*19 INCHES.**\\\*And here, the elegant SL gets just a little something extra:**\\\*ATTITUDE.**\\\\\*The 19-inch alloy wheels look exceptionally good on the R230.**\\\\\*Not flashy.**\\\*Not over the top.**\\\*But exactly as an SL of this generation should look:**\\\\\*SPORTY.**\\\*WIDE.**\\\*CONFIDENT.**\\\\\*PRE-OWNED.**\\\*And that’s definitely worth mentioning for an SL that’s now 20 years old.**\\\\\*Our vehicle is:**\\\*GERMAN SPEC.**\\\\\*First registration:**\\\*05/2006.**\\\\\*Mileage:**\\\*165,000 KM.**\\\\\*SECOND-HAND.**\\\\\*Mathematically, that works out to just about:**\\\*8,000 KM PER YEAR.**\\\\\*Of course, a calculated annual average says nothing about when those kilometers were actually driven.**\\\\\*But it helps put things into perspective.**\\\\\*After all, 165,000 km on a 20-year-old touring car is quite different from 165,000 km on a five-year-old everyday car.**\\\\\*AN SL IS BUILT TO BE DRIVEN.**\\\\\*And that’s exactly what this one was obviously allowed to do.**\\\\\*NOT A COLLECTOR’S ITEM WITH 8,000 KM.**\\\*NOT A GARAGE QUEEN.**\\\*NOT A TIME CAPSULE.**\\\\\*But rather:**\\\*AN SL MADE FOR DRIVING.**\\\\\*And perhaps for many prospective buyers, that’s actually the more appealing option.**\\\\\*Get in.**\\\*Open the roof.**\\\*Hit the road.**\\\\\*WITHOUT WONDERING WITH EVERY KILOMETER IF YOU’RE REDUCING ITS COLLECTIBLE VALUE.**\\\\\*THE FEATURES.**\\\*An SL was never a car for purists who prefer to open the windows with a crank.**\\\\\*It should:**\\\*DRIVE SPORTILY.**\\\*AND TRAVEL IN COMFORT.**\\\\\*Our vehicle features, among other things:**\\\*- 19-inch alloy wheels**\*- Automatic transmission**\*- Electric/hydraulic Vario roof**\*- Black leather interior**\*- Heated seats**\*- Automatic climate control**\*- Xenon headlights**\*- Navigation system with display**\*- Front and rear parking sensors**\*- Sound system**\*- Cruise control**\*- Wind deflector**\*- Rain sensor**\*- Automatic headlight control**\*- Tire pressure monitoring system**\*- Power windows**\*- Power-adjustable and heated exterior mirrors**\*- Hands-free phone system**\*- Phone preparation**\*- Central locking with remote control**\*- Alarm system**\\\\\*AND OF COURSE:**\\\*REAR-WHEEL DRIVE.**\\\\\*Because some traditions are just:**\\\*NOT MEANT TO CHANGE.**\\\\\*THE R230 IS GROWING UP.**\\\*And perhaps now is an interesting time to take a closer look at this generation once again.**\\\\\*In 2026, the R230 will celebrate:**\\\*25 YEARS.**\\\\\*Mercedes-Benz itself now counts it among the defining vehicles of the early 2000s and refers to it as a coveted “youngtimer.”**\\\\\*That doesn’t surprise us:**\\\*NOT AT ALL.**\\\\\*Because what once made the R230 so distinctive is now slowly disappearing.**\\\\\*Large naturally aspirated engines.**\\\*Two seats.**\\\*Rear-wheel drive.**\\\*A long hood.**\\\*And a car that doesn’t try to be:**\\\*an SUV.**\\\*a coupe.**\\\*a sedan.**\\\*AND an off-road vehicle**\\\*all at the same time.**\\\\\*An SL wanted to be just one thing:**\\\*AN SL.**\\\\\*AND THAT’S ENOUGH.**\\\\\*VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS**\\\*- Mercedes-Benz SL 350**\*- R230 series**\*- First registration: 05/2006**\*- Mileage: 165,000 km**\*- Second-hand**\*- German specification**\*- 3,498 ccm V6 naturally aspirated engine**\*- 200 kW / 272 PS**\*- Automatic transmission**\*- Rear-wheel drive**\*- 2 seats**\*-

these days.**\\\\\*Small cars.**\\\*SUVs.**\\\*Electric cars.**\\\*Station wagons.**\\\*Decent cars.**\\\\\*All perfectly fine.**\\\\\*Or you could buy:**\\\*A MERCEDES-BENZ SL.**\\\\\*3.5 liters.**\\\*V6.**\\\*272 PS.**\\\*Rear-wheel drive.**\\\*Automatic transmission.**\\\*Leather.**\\\*19-inch wheels.**\\\*And at the push of a button:**\\\*NO ROOF.**\\\\\*We don’t want to influence anyone.**\\\\\*BUT WE KNOW WHAT WE’D DO.**\\\\\*OUR CONCLUSION**\\\*The R230 is currently in an interesting phase of its life.**\\\\\*Too young to be a classic car.**\\\\\*But long since old enough to be more than just:**\\\*A USED CAR**\\\*.***\\\\\*Its story began 25 years ago.**\\\\\*Today, it’s slowly beginning:**\\\*ITS SECOND CHAPTER.**\\\\\*And perhaps the SL 350 is exactly the right choice for this phase.**\\\\\*No AMG.**\\\*No V12.**\\\*No supercar.**\\\\\*Instead:**\\\*3.5-LITER V6.**\\\*272 PS.**\\\*AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.**\\\*REAR-WHEEL DRIVE.**\\\*TWO SEATS.**\\\\\*A car for:**\\\*SUN.**\\\*COUNTRY ROADS.**\\\*TRAVEL.**\\\*AND THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU JUST DON’T HAVE TO BE SENSIBLE.**\\\\\*MERCEDES-BENZ SL 350.**\\\*R230.**\\\\\*ROOF DOWN:**\\\*COUPE.**\\\\\*ROOF UP:**\\\*ROADSTER.**\\\\\*AND IN BETWEEN:**\\\*16 SECONDS.**\\\\\*SL.**\\\\\*TWO LETTERS.**\\\*SOMETIMES THAT’S ALL YOU NEED.**\\, Roadworthy, Fuel Type: Premium, 2 seat belts, Clock & Tachometer,
