Vehicle Description
With a great color combo, precision sheetmetal, and timeless
elegance, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL continues to offer the
upper-class feeling in an affordable vintage package.
Averaging only about 2,500 miles annually mean this has always been
a cherished Benz. The factory-correct Arctic White paint has
timeless desirability - especially when the color still retains its
quality luster. Plus, the panels have been carefully maintained to
retain their German-precision feeling. Also, this one carries the
distinction of the more aerodynamic factory alloy wheels that only
came on the later R107 cars. This is an extra level of desire here
as you dig into the details. After all, these later R107s mean the
latest advances while still being eligible for vintage insurance
and/or registration discounts. Plus, this example was built to have
a very thoughtful coordinating package. The blue pinstripe matches
the blue folding roof to give this the best European sensibility.
And the removable color-matched hardtop gives you the option to
have a very coupe-like profile whenever you want.
Of course, this one was really meant to be open to the world. The
blue leather interior completes a great coordinated feeling inside
and out. Lower mileage means less seat time, and so the bucket
seats, carpeting, door panels, and wood trim all looks great. Plus,
their condition is a further affirmation of this car's
well-respected life. When a R107 looks great, it's exactly what you
want. These defined a generation by combining open-top freedom with
luxury features like power windows, power locks, power antenna,
tilt/telescopic steering column, and the desirable Becker Grand
Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, the climate control has been
converted to modern R134a, so you get to enjoy this one long into
the summer season. Because this is a later model car, you get all
the best safety features like as anti-lock brakes, a third brake
light, and a driver's airbag.
The 560SL was really the car to have from the R107 period because
it combined a powerful motor with a reputation for bulletproof
durability. You can tell by the cleanliness of the engine bay that
this has always been a cherished luxury machine. So there's nothing
stopping you from hitting the road for a long weekend. When you do,
this luxury convertible strikes the perfect balance between nimble
machine and all-day cruiser. That's thanks to a specially
engineered fully independent suspension, four-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive, and four-wheel disc brakes. They all
work in harmony to provide a true luxury experience that has been
the envy of other car makers.
The sale comes with all the right paperwork, including the full
owner's manual packet, original warranty card, service manuals, and
maintenance records. So you get steadfast elegance with all the
right features - that's true grand touring enjoyment. And it can be
all yours if you call today!
