R230 SL-Class (2001-2012)

One of the best cruisers ever made!

We own a silver/red 2004 SL55 the M113K engine is one of the most reliable produced by Merc. Press the pedal and this 4600lb beast will respond immediately. I upgraded to a slightly smaller supercharger pulley which produces 510hp without the need of a tune. We maintain the ABC and have no issues. These cars want to be driven.

The first of the R230 class, this 2004 with the M113 V8 is such fun to drive, and perfect for Oregon rainy weather with a full hard top! With the ABC suspension it drives like a sports car even though it weighs about 2 tons. Ride comfort is the best!. Cornering is still not to shabby. Mine has the standard V8 which gives it plenty of performance. This is the first of the vehicles that came prepared for portable phones integrated with the stereo system. With Bluetooth module, it handles phones up to date.


(I seem to gravitate to cars in shades of grey.)
