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
1992 Mercedes 500SL is a modern classic that will never leave you
wanting.
The SL has a long history of being sleek, purposeful, and
dignified, with a healthy dose of performance under the surface.
The subtle two-tone gray seems to capture this attitude perfectly.
It has been enjoyed over the last quarter-century, but it still has
the kind of sophistication that you can just tell it's tipping its
hat to classic Mercedes-Benz machines before it. And part of this
timeless elegance is from a history of taking the time to make
vehicles correctly. The doors close with a precision usually
reserved for cars with solid roofs; the panel gaps are so tight you
can't even fit a fingertip in them; and the imposing grille with
three-pointed star is exceptionally crisp. And the upgrade to
19-inch chrome wheels lets you know that this engineering marvel
also has flair.
This has earned its reputation as a luxury cruiser through a long
list of desirable features. Comfortable tan leather bucket seats
adjust in every possible direction, and they even have memory
settings so that you're instantly comfortable. And a great grand
touring machine also needs to fit into modern times. So this
classic was ahead of its time with plenty of safety features such
as dual airbags, anti-lock disc brakes, and a roll bar that
automatically pops up when danger is detected. There are other
amenities such as power windows, power steering, power locks,
cruise control, and fully automatic climate control to keep you
comfortable any time the top is down. And speaking of top, you not
only get newer black electronic folding roof, but this one also
comes with the color-matched hard top that makes your roadster look
like a sleek coupe.
The 500 in SL500 refers to the 5.0 liter DOHC V8 that lives under
the hood. The consignor states this is the original motor, and with
the tidy presentation, we have little trouble believing that. This
multi-valve motor produces around 320 horsepower, and so it has the
legs to offer extra power even at highway speeds. Mated to a
four-speed automatic transmission, it gives you the choice of
enjoying overdrive comfort, or leaving everyone behind with just
the prod of the accelerator. Plus, the multi-link fully independent
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes provides impressive handling.
In total, this is the ultimate roadster for the driver who wants a
tight handling car for the backroads, but doesn't want to give up
supple comfort or space for the golf clubs.
This is the exact way to enjoy fast with class. And we won't even
tell anyone how little you actually paid to enter the upper
echelon. Don't miss this deal, call today!
