2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Designo Launch Edition

Like the title states, the car is a 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Designo Launch Edition, finished in Designo Silver Metallic over Charcoal two-tone Nappa leather. My research online shows that only approximately 2,000 Launch Edition cars were made. This car features the Launch Edition package ($9,500 factory option) which includes this special silver metallic paint only available on the Launch Edition, Nappa leather interior, walnut wood trim on the steering wheel and shift knob, 5 spoke 18" wheels only available on the Launch Edition, black alacantara headliner, heated and cooled seats that also massage, and bi-Xenon HID headlights. The car also features an 8-speaker Bose Audio Pilot sound system, as well as Mercedes COMAND navigation system with a six disc CD changer.

Power comes from a 5.0 liter V8, rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, fed to the rear tires via a 5-speed automatic with buttons on the steering wheel to manually control shifts. The retracting hard top works as it should, as does the roll bar that can be raised and lowered electronically.

This is an incredibly nice car, with only 26,xxx one owner miles from new. It still looks like a brand new car. The car needs nothing from its next owner, other than to be driven. Original MSRP on this car was nearly $98,000. Asking $28,500 OBO. Feel free to contact me via phone, text, or PM with any questions. My phone number is (402) 617-5525. Car is located in Omaha, NE. Buyer is responsible for transport.

Another Launch Edition sold at auction earlier this year (Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2014) for $29,700.

Thanks for your input. Price is OBO, as the ad states.

 

Launch Edition cars actually did have the bi-xenon headlamps, as part of the Launch Edition package. The window sticker for the car confirms this. All part of what you get for your extra $9,500.

 

Oh, thank you for bumping this thread! I had forgotten I posted the car here.

Buyer came and picked the car up yesterday, so she is sold.

 

It was (is?) a very nice car, to be sure. Had it professionally detailed for the new owner, that liquid metallic paint is incredible.
