Vehicle Description
Pay attention to one of those few lucky times that you can fulfill
a luxury and performance promise without breaking the bank. This
1990 Mercedes 300SL is a modern classic that will never leave you
wanting.
The Charcoal Gray Metallic gives this convertible a different level
of presence. It's an understated level of luxury that has the
appeal of a dark tuxedo at night and a great metallic sparkle in
the sunlight. This is the original paint to the car, so it has been
enjoyed, but the quality reminds you instantly of why these were
$75K cars when new. And this level of quality remains throughout
this droptop. The doors close with precision usually reserved for
coupes, the gaps retain their precision uniformity, and the big
tri-star leading the way is as bold and bright as ever. Plus, being
treated with respect from day one means you are looking at a highly
original example, right down to the 16-inch factory alloys.
Inside, the black leather with gray carpeting is the perfect
complementing interior color combo with the exterior. After all,
this SL needs to look its best with the top down, because these
were made to be open to the world. The bucket seats have been
engineered to be all-day comfortable, and the dual memory settings
means it always power adjusts back to your favorite position. But
more than just comfort, there's another side to Mercedes amenities
that are always a nice bonus. This premium marque is known for
engineering plenty of safety into their cars, and this can be seen
on everything from the dual airbags, to the anti-lock brakes, to
the roll bar that automatically pops up when danger is detected.
There are other great features such as power windows, power
steering, power locks, cruise control, factory stereo, and
automatic climate control to keep you feeling comfortable even when
the top is down in the summertime. And speaking of top, you not
only get a nice black folding power roof, but this one also comes
with the color matching hard top that makes your roadster look like
a sleek coupe.
Power comes from a 3.0-liter DOHC inline-six. It's as silky as a
turbine and torquey enough to make the droptop feel quick and light
on its feet. It's also legendary for its durability, and thanks to
proper maintenance throughout its life, it still fires up with the
kind of vigor that makes far newer vehicles jealous. The engine bay
is extremely clean and it runs with a soft purr from the exhaust
that's befitting a vehicle of this stature. The four-speed
automatic transmission is the perfect companion to flex its German
muscles when it wants, and then settle back into overdrive luxury
immediately. The fully independent suspension makes this the
perfect grand touring machine for the backroads. Plus, the power
steering and four-wheel disc brakes only heighten this
experience.
Complete with owner's manual, it's amazing that something so
complete and prestigious is also so affordable. So don't miss out,
