Beautiful Mercedes 560SL Roadster

Description

1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL
Hello and thank you for your interest. Up for sale is my 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL roadster. Originally a California car, it was sold new at Laguna Niguel Mercedes. It isn't getting much use lately so we've decided to sell. The car comes with both original hard and soft tops, and in excellent condition. The car is driving ready. No rust issues to be addressed. Being a 31 year old car some minor imperfections are to be expected. This Mercedes has about 185k highway miles on the odometer, but really feels like a car with half that. These cars were very well built, at the cost of over $60,000 new in 1988. Needless to say they have stood the test of time, and with proper care will last decades more. The paint is very shiny. No dents on the body or rust bubbles. The interior is in very good condition, no rips or tears in the seats. The dash does have a replacement cover. Some cracks underneath, as usual. The lower wooden panel on the center console has cracks in the varnish. The engine is very strong and smooth, doesn't smoke or leave any oil marks. The transmission shifts properly. The brakes are in good working order, drives true and straight. The A/C was retrofitted to use R134 back in 2003, works but could use a recharge. Comes with all original owner's manuals and original tool kit, even the original unused first aid kit! The radio is aftermarket. We have just installed 4 brand new tires to ensure the car is road worthy for its new owner. This car would make any driver proud, we always get complimented whenever we take it out. A very modest reserve has been set. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thank you and good luck on your bidding!
