2006 Mercedes SL Class R230 SL350
Highlights
- Well kept car with regular servicing and maintenance
- Smartly presented in Teal Blue with grey leather
- Versatile coupe to convertible GT
- Lower road tax and ULEZ compliant
- Facelift car with 3.7litre 240bhp V6 engine
- Early car with simpler, non-ABC suspension system
- MOT to June 2025 with no advisories
The Appeal
The R230 augmented the SL lineage with a clever coupe-to-convertible folding hard top that makes them highly versatile touring cars. A 2006 facelift introduced this car, the SL350 with the smooth 3.7litre 240bhp V6. It provides a popular blend of performance and economy.
This model is also appealing because it fits into a much lower road tax bracket than later cars and has a simpler, non-ABC suspension set up.
Finished in attractive Teal Blue with a grey leather interior, this well specified SL350 has been looked after during its life. These engines are capable of gargantuan mileages but this one has covered less than 80,000 from new.
The condition reflects the investment and sparing use. Regularly serviced and benefitting from recent attention to the PSE system and rear screen, it comes to market in great condition and needing nothing. A long MOT to June 2025 with no advisories means it is ready to drive and enjoy.
