When did Mercedes give the SL55 AMG an upgrade?
Mercedes decided to freshen up the SL55 AMG in 2007 by giving it a very minor appearance upgrade.
Is the Mercedes Benz SL55 in manual mode?
In the 2003 model only manual mode allowed for that. Otherwise, the 2004 was nearly identical as the 2003 model. Before the redesign in 2007, the 2005 SL55 had almost all of the kinks worked out and has been the preferred year to purchase. Mercedes updated the COMAND interface and improved the navigation to be DVD based instead of CD.
What kind of fuel economy does the Mercedes SL55 get?
You should also note that fuel economy is not a strong point of the SL55 and it’s not uncommon to average below 15 MPGs. Mercedes built more SL55 AMG models in 2003 – 2004 than 2005 – 2008 combined. We recommend staying away from the 2003 – 2004, and opting for a 2005 model instead.
How much does an oil change cost on a Mercedes SL55?
Oil changes will run you around $100 from a qualified independent shop and brake pads alone are under $200 for all four corners. Rotors are equally as cheap if the car is not optioned with the P030 Performance Package.
