BaT Auction: 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG at No Reserve

This 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG is finished in gray over tan leather and powered by a 6.2-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-retractable hardtop with a panoramic glass roof, Active Body Control suspension, 19″ AMG wheels, heated and ventilated multi-contour seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, Airscarf, bi-xenon headlamps with washers, and COMAND infotainment with a Harman Kardon surround-sound system. The car was first delivered to Mercedes-Benz Manhattan of New York, New York, and spent time in Connecticut, Ohio, and Indiana before being acquired by the selling dealer in June 2020. Maintenance in 2020 included replacement of the head gaskets, head bolts, valve-cover gaskets, intake manifold, and spark plugs. This SL63 AMG has 38k miles and is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, a window sticker, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Indiana title.

The car is finished in Graphite (041) and features a retractable hardtop with a panoramic glass roof panel, a rear spoiler, a rear lower diffuser, dual twin chrome tailpipes, and bi-xenon headlights with washers.

AMG 19″ split-spoke wheels wear Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 255/35 up front and 285/30 at the rear. Braking power is supplied by cross-drilled discs with silver-finished six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers. The car is also equipped with Active Body Control suspension.

The cabin features seating upholstered in designo Sand leather with a matching lower dash and door panels along with natural maple wood trim and contrasting Charcoal leather accenting the upper dash and center console. Additional amenities include an Alcantara headliner, heated and ventilated multi-contour seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, COMAND infotainment with DVD-based navigation, satellite radio, Keyless Go, Parktronic, Airscarf, and a Harman Kardon sound system.

A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames an AMG-branded 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level, and two inset display screens. The odometer indicates 38k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.

The 6.2-liter M156 V8 was rated at 518 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a paddle-shifted seven-speed AMG Speedshift MCT transmission with comfort, sport and manual modes. Service in 2020 included replacement of the head gaskets, head bolts, valve-cover gaskets, intake manifold, timing chain tensioner, and the spark plugs along with oil and coolant changes.

The window sticker shows initial delivery to Mercedes-Benz Manhattan, standard and optional equipment, and a total retail price of $149,695. Manufacturer’s literature is also included in the sale.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in New York, Connecticut, Ohio, and Indiana.
