The SL-Class has always been the premier 2-door line for
Mercedes-Benz. Starting with the breathtaking 190SL and 300SL
models in the 1950's, Mercedes has always delivered a stunning
combination of luxury and performance. The R129 model hit showroom
floors from 1990 to 2002, and in 1999, it received an upgraded 302
horsepower engine. Like many imported cars in the late 90's, they
were overbuilt, meaning they were engineered to perfection. This
example is no exception, and has the lowest mileage of any R129
we've seen. We are pleased to offer this 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500
Roadster with just 29k original miles and finished in a beautiful
color combination. The car is painted in factory original Firemist
Red Metallic over an original Shell leather interior. It is powered
by Mercedes' 5.0L/302hp V8 engine mated to an automatic
transmission. Engine is up front with power provided to the rear
wheels - a true sports car set up. It has a matching Firemist
removable hardtop and a power black soft top. The car remains 100%
original from the factory and all surfaces: inside, outside, top,
bottom are in excellent condition. No rust anywhere. All power
functions work as they should, including the hardtop release, the
retractable soft top, locks, windows, seats, mirrors, and the
rear-folding roll bar. Other noteworthy features include fog lamps,
wood trim, heated seats, Bose speakers, cruise control, trunk CD
changer, and W (Winter) and S (Sport) driving modes, even though
the car was never driven in winter. Service has been done in a
timely fashion with receipts available. The most recent work
performed last year was replacing the convertible top hydraulic
system, which are notorious for malfunction over time. The car also
comes with a windscreen, first aid kit, full spare, car cover,
books, manuals, service records, rubber floor mats, brand new
carpet floor mats, two key fobs, clean CarFax report, and even an
odometer statement from the previous selling dealer verifying the
mileage: 19,926 in November of 2011. Earlier model SL's continue to
climb in value and the R129 SL500 is the next collector car to
appreciate, especially one this clean with such low miles. And its
an investment you can actually drive and enjoy. The car fires on
command, drives smooth, and is tight in the turns. These cars were
built to perform and outfitted with class. Original MSRP was north
of $80k. Party like it's 1999, indeed! Be sure to check out over
