The Mercedes-Benz SL 500 uses the 4,966 cc naturally aspirated M113 V8 with port injection, rated at 306 PS (225 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 460 Nm from 2,700 to 4,250 rpm, for 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and 250 km/h, with a five-speed automatic with Tipshift, fitted until 2003, driving the rear wheels.

The car is 4,535 mm long and 1,827 mm wide on a 2,560 mm wheelbase. The R230 is a two-seater with a folding aluminium hardtop, the Vario roof, which retracts electrohydraulically into the boot together with its glass rear window, in 20 seconds on the cars built before the 2006 facelift. A glass roof insert was offered as an option.

This car is advertised at €35,890, 62% below that figure in nominal terms; the seller does not say whether VAT is included or reclaimable, so the comparison is indicative only. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.
