Significance

Since the late 1950s, the Mercedes Benz SL series has been the gold standard in luxury performance roadsters. With each successive generation, SLs have become more refined, capable, and technologically advanced, and when the R230 generation came out in 2001, it represented a tremendous step forward for the model. Utilizing Mercedes's new design language, the R230 was much curvier than its predecessor and the first Mercedes SL to feature a folding hardtop. The interior was an innovative design with a large, cascading center console centered around an infotainment screen, while the gauge pod in front of the driver featured deeply inset gauges with large overhangs to shield them from glare. During the R230s production, it underwent two facelifts- the first in 2006 and the second in 2008. The later update was a significant overhaul of the design with a new front fascia that was more aggressive than before and harkened back to the 300SL grille of the 1950s and 1960s.

About this vehicle

Finished in beautiful Palladium Silver Metallic, this 2011 SL 63 AMG is an absolutely stunning car to behold and has a tremendous presence on the road compared to its non-AMG counterparts. From the polished 19” dual 5-spoke wheels to the purposeful-looking vents in the front bumper and the large rear diffuser, the SL 63 lets onlookers know that it is so much more than a standard SL550. The interior is finished in black leather with carbon fiber accents and features a Designo Alcantara headliner and the upgraded Premium Sound System. A fantastic feature of this car is the roof- a folding hard top offers the quiet comfort of a hard top but still allows you to lower the roof when you want open air. But what makes this particularly unique is that the top also has panoramic glass, so the cabin gets plenty of nice, natural light inside even when the roof is up. Distronic radar cruise control has been specified on this car, along with Parktronic parking sensors in both the front and rear bumpers. Powering this SL63 is AMG’s famed 6.2 liter V8, which is paired then to a 7-speed DCT gearbox. This naturally aspirated engine produces 518 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque and allows the car to run from 0-62 mph in just 4.6 seconds. The MCT transmission is a version of the traditional Mercedes 7G-Tronic gearbox, but instead of a torque converter, it uses a wet startup clutch and allows for double clutching during shifts giving shift speeds of 100 milliseconds in Manual mode. The suspension is Mercedes’s signature Active Body Control (ABC), a hydropneumatic system that eliminates body roll and offers exceptional performance and great comfort when driving around town. With the addition of the P30 Performance Package in this example, the top speed limiter is raised from 155 mph to 186 mph, a limited slip differential has been fitted in the rear, and the ABC suspension features more track-focused calibration. Showing just 23,357 miles, this SL63 has been kept in immaculate condition and has been based in the Bay Area since new, it is being sold with its original owner's manual. Since the Mercedes SL came out, it has been in a class of its own when it comes to luxurious performance roadsters, and thanks to its sonorous V8, luxurious interior, and ABC Suspension, this SL 63 embodies everything that makes the SL great.

    Is there a possibility to speak to someone live on the phone about this SL63? As I have several questions. No one answers the contract phone number listed on this site and messages are not returned.
    1) Are their maintenance records for this car?
    2) How old are these pictures on this site?, as the pictures show the car with 17K miles but it now has 23K miles. What was the date of the inspection listed on this site ...Was the illustrated inspection on this site completed at 17K miles or the current 23K miles?
    3) Have all the Mercedes Benz recommended routine maintenance been completed? ie Oil change, break fluid flush etc.?
    4) Has the head bolts been updated at some point on this car?
    As an interested buyer, I would appreciate a call back and follow up.
    Thank You,

    I

    A couple questions:
    *Are there any maintenance receipts that can be shared?
    *When was that last time the oil was changed?
    *Has it ever had a break fluid flush?
    *Do you you if it has had the head bolt update correction?

    Thank you

    We have received the most recent service record from the owner from last year, which we have uploaded to the "misc" section of the gallery. The total cost of service was $4,059 which includes an oil change and brake fluid flush.
    We do not have any indication if the head bolts have or have not been replaced.

    In regard to your inspection report, what is the ECU ? Additionally, do you have a service history available for this car ?

    The pending faults are intermittent and not consistent enough to trigger a check engine light. The other codes may be related to the battery voltage dropping, which has been rectified with a new battery.

    o, k, please post a picture of the window sticker or Mulroney Label showing the P30 Performance Package please.

    Are you sure this has the P30 Performance Option? They all came with red brake calipers.

    Yes, the standard red brake calipers came on the next generation.
