The R230 SL500 combined a folding hardtop with a smooth V8, and this one has covered few miles. It carries bi-xenon headlights, 18-inch AMG split five-spoke wheels, heated seats, Bose audio, and COMAND navigation. Bidding is open with seven days remaining and no bids placed. 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500Bring a Trailer What it's worth right now R230 SL500 values are modest. Data from Hagerty values a 2006 SL500 between $11,667 and $15,633 in good condition. Dealer listings include a 35,542-mile example at $29,900, a 43,830-mile car at $17,999, and a 21,347-mile SL500 at $13,950. Its mileage places this one above Hagerty's range, though its history pulls it back. The 28,000 miles help, while the 2013 damage entry, the absence of service records, mixed tires, and the cost of maintaining Active Body Control temper the number. Fair value lands between $16,000 and $24,000, with $20,000 most likely. 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500Bring a Trailer Condition and details The specification is classic SL. The car wears Alabaster White with a power-folding hardtop, bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, and fender vents, and it rides on 18-inch AMG split five-spoke wheels with a mixed set of Continental and Goodyear tires. The suspension is Active Body Control, with ESP and ASR stability systems. 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500Bring a Trailer The cabin is comfortable. Heated power seats in beige leather sit alongside a wood and leather wheel, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, Bose audio, and COMAND navigation. The 5.0-liter V8 drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic. 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500Bring a Trailer The history needs review. Carfax lists damage to the right-rear corner in July 2013. Only the owner's manual accompanies the sale, with no service records, and the New York title marks the odometer as exempt because of the car's age. The selling dealer acquired it in 2026. A pre-purchase inspection should check the Active Body Control system, the hardtop operation, and the repair quality. 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500Bring a Trailer The offer Specification Detail Make Mercedes-Benz Model SL500 (R230) Year 2006 Mileage 28,000 miles Engine 5.0-liter M113 V8 Power 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque Transmission Seven-speed automatic Drive type Rear wheel drive Exterior color Alabaster White Interior color Beige leather Current bid No bids yet, with seven days remaining Interested in this car?

What makes the Mercedes-Benz SL500 unique The R230 SL introduced a power-folding hardtop to the SL line, giving it coupe-like refinement with the top raised and full open-air motoring with it stowed. Active Body Control kept body roll in check, and the SL500's V8 delivered smooth, effortless power. 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500Bring a Trailer These cars have depreciated steeply, which makes low-mileage examples tempting buys. Active Body Control and the hydraulic roof can be costly to repair, so documented maintenance is valuable. Clean history and records separate the best cars from the rest. My take At no bids with seven days to run, my call is $20,000, with $24,000 possible if bidders value the low mileage. What makes it appealing is the mileage, since a 28,000-mile SL500 with a folding hardtop and COMAND offers luxury roadster motoring for modest money. What tempers it is the 2013 damage entry and the lack of service records. Inspect the Active Body Control system, then bid. Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
