Aren't you bored out of your freaking mind with SL's that are either black, white, or silver? Everywhere you look, nothing but black, white, or silver! Well, my friend, your long automotive nightmare is officially over! Wait no longer, cuz I'm selling my gorgeous Firemist Red 2003 SL 55 AMG - otherwise known as Beauty and the Beast!

This car has a mere 43,800 miles on the clock! Both exterior and interior are immaculate! It's fast, handles crisply, and is comfortable at the same time! Your wife will even go driving with you in this car! Or if you're not married, it's a guaranteed chick magnet! When the weather warms up, this hardtop coupe turns into a deliciously fun convertible!

It has navigation and the ABC adjustable suspension. It also comes with Mercedes chrome wheels. It's had a recent oil and filter change as well as a new auxiliary battery. It has never been smoked in and is kept in a heated garage. And did I mention it's Firemist red, not black, white, or silver?

On the pics I've posted, there is a little curb rash under the front bumper. I've just barely had the entire front bumper removed and all re-painted so it looks showroom new!

It has no mechanical flaws and when you push the loud pedal, it can tear up large chunks of asphalt!

Oh sure, you could find an SL 55 AMG for a little less than what I'm asking, but I'll bet it would have more than 43,800 miles on the clock. And I'll also bet it would be black, white, or silver! Yawn.

Don't blend into the crowd! And don't wait - this jewel won't last long!

If you're interested, shoot me a PM or call or text: 801-376-3175

Wow, beautiful car. And the perfect color.
If I didn't have my silver SL55, I'd be all over this.

Good luck with the sale, someone lucky will land a real beauty.

I was posed the question as to whether or not a set of golf clubs would fit in the trunk. I didn't think they would, but they do - barely! I had to remove my driver and fairway wood from the bag and lay them alongside, but everything finally fit.

It's even be possible to have your golf clubs in the trunk with the top down, but you have to insert your clubs with the top up, then put the top down afterwards. Then you have to put the top back up to extract them. I tried, and I could not get a full set of clubs either into or out of the trunk with the top already down. Loading and unloading golf clubs are definitely top-up operations.

I've added a "clubs in the trunk" pic at the end of the OP to confirm.

Price now dropped to $31,300. It'll keep going down from time to time until it sells.

^^

Thanks guys.

Yeah, this is as far as I'm going to reduce the price. My wife loves the car and has sternly informed me that it either sells at its current price or we keep it. No going any lower!
