pleased to present this 2000 Mercedes Benz SL500! We purchased this
2000 SL500 from a local gentleman, the fourth owner, who had owned
the car for the last ten years. This car is undoubtedly one of the
nicer ones out there; it has been garage-kept and adult-owned, and
is truly in as-close-to-new condition as we've ever seen. Outside,
inside, and underneath, this car is in extremely impressive shape.
With the exception of some small scuffs on the lowest point of the
front valence, this car looks just as it did back in 2000.
Exterior: The body on this car is as straight as an arrow. There
are no door dings or blemishes other than the aforementioned scuffs
on the lower front valence. Travertine Beige Metallic paint is
confirmed original with an elcometer and presents extremely well.
No scratches, no spots of clear-coat aging, and only the tiniest
little chips, most notable in the center of the rear bumper. Unlike
so many of the R129 SLs, this car does not have the two-tone,
plasticy look. Rather, it's one solid color, which we really like.
Wheels were just refinished and repainted and look fantastic.
Hardtop is in as-new condition, soft top is in good shape but
slightly wrinkled from lack of use. All lights and glass are clear
and crack-free, tires are close to new, with tread depths of 10/32"
up front and 11/32" in the rear (new tires tend to be 12/32"). This
car is NOT a 10 footer....this is a near flawless car up close.
Interior: As you can see in the pictures, the interior of this
Mercedes is pretty damn mint. The leather is excellent throughout;
there are no burst seams and no cracks, nothing more than some
minor creases from regular use. The dash, center console, carpets,
and wheel are all in 10 of 10 condition. The only items that show
much of any wear in the interior is the inside of the handle/arm
rest on the driver's door panel, from where the previous owner's
wedding ring would rub when he opened and closed the door. Carpets
have been protected by the original Mercedes-Benz branded
floormats, which will come with the car and show some minor wear.
All interior wood trim is in excellent shape, with no cracks,
scratches, or signs of age. All powered systems are functional,
including seats, windows, all gauges and analog clock, radio, R134a
air conditioning, heat/defrost/fan, powered top, powered roll bar.
Odometer reads 55,695, which is accurate and verified by the
Carfax, service records, and of course the outstanding condition
throughout. Under the Hood / Underbody: Again, we have to defer to
the pictures. This car is super clean inside, out, and underneath.
The underside shows no damage, modifications, or even surface rust.
