1989 Mercedes-Benz 500-Class 560 SL

Description

Locally owned, regularly maintained, exceptionally low miles. That is the dream combination of traits when it comes to purchasing a classic. Those things are what make this an exquisite example of the 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. The last year of this iconic look. But don’t think of this as a classic car, with a 5.6L V8 in a two-seater there is more than enough power to go around. That power and the reliability of the 5.6L V8 is why the 560SL is the most sought after variant of the R107 line.

If you are looking to make a statement with your vehicle, this is the one to own. Diamond blue exterior with Blue leather interior paired with either the fold down soft top or the removable hardtop. You drive it as a coupe or convertible, but either way it is a show piece vehicle that will turn heads wherever you take it.

With just over 36,000 miles on this car which was obviously well cared for, the interior is super neat and clean with minimal wear. As you would expect, luxury and convenience items include power windows, locks, and air conditioning. Gauges are easily visible under a dash that helps shroud them from the glare of the sun when the top is down.

The factory stereo sits just over the ventilation controls and the burled wood dash treatments add warmth and a touch of old-world feel. Powering this personal luxury car is the largest engine offered by Mercedes that year. But wheel spinning power isn't what this engine is about. It is about quiet,confident, power that takes you down the road with a reserved dignity. But it is also ready to step up and play if you want it to, and remember, this car is built to run the autobahn.The four-speed automatic is smooth and efficient in the way it enables the car to run at leisurely low RPMs in top gear while traveling down the highway, but step on the gas and it will kick down and take off. The fully independent suspension has a smooth ride but will hug the corners with confidence, so when the road turns twisty, go ahead and have some fun. 4-wheel disc brakes provide a great stopping power. Come down and see how it feels to drive a personal luxury car from Germany. You may decide it's what you want to drive every day.
