Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this beautiful 1989
Mercedes Benz 560SL in excellent condition with only 99,235
original miles. It looks spectacular, runs great, and is an awesome
driver. The market on the 560SL is absolutely red hot right now
with 1989 being the most rare and desirable model year and this
example is priced to sell. Low mileage and original examples of the
R107 Mercedes SL are exceptionally difficult to find and draw a
huge premium in the current market. 99,000 miles is low for a
Mercedes from this era as they are built like tanks and can
virtually run forever when properly maintained. The low original
mileage is also verified not only by the condition of the car, but
also by the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad, showing the
mileage as "Actual."
There is also a copy of the AutoCheck report in this ad. The report
is totally clean, shows no accident history, and verifies the low
mileage.
This Mercedes is verified as "numbers matching" meaning both the
engine and the transmission in the car are the correct and original
units that were installed in the factory. It is especially rare,
but this 560SL has the "vehicle data card" from the Mercedes
factory, which is pictured in this ad. It shows the original engine
number to be "117967 12 043101." We have checked the engine and
confirmed that same engine number stamped on the left side of the
engine block. The vehicle data card also shows the original
transmission number to be "722313 0 3165200." We have checked the
transmission and confirmed that same is number stamped on the main
case of the transmission and pictured. There is also a sticker on
the main case of the transmission, pictured in the ad, showing the
correct corresponding VIN. All of the paint, interior, and
convertible top codes are also correct and match the vehicle data
card and the data tag by the radiator.
This 560SL comes with both the soft-top and auxiliary hardtop. This
is an excellent opportunity to own a classic Mercedes that is ready
to be used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy
this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years
to come. This Mercedes is finished in the absolutely beautiful and
highly desirable color combination of Arctic White (147) over Royal
Blue interior (272) with a Dark Blue soft-top (744). This is also
the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on
the vehicle data card. Please peruse all of the photos, video, and
other information in this ad to get a true sense of clean and nice
this 560SL really is.
The car comes with the books and manuals, which are pictured.
Included with the car are the original owner's manual, maintenance
booklet, Service and Warranty Information booklet, and the top
operation book, along with two convertible top wrenches, spare tire
and rim, and jack, which are all pictured below.
As a side note, this Mercedes is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from
owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the
vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
560SL, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Arctic White (147) exterior is in excellent condition. As one
can see in the photos, the paint has a brilliant gloss, deep shine,
and smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely; it has that
solid Mercedes touch and feels like a vault door closing. The car
exhibits great body panel fit overall. The chrome and other
bright-work look very nice. The wheels are in great shape with no
curb rash; they really give this a car a terrific look. The
Michelin tires have plenty about 95% tread left and are correctly
sized 205/65R15. There are no major imperfections that have been
intentionally excluded from the photos. As one would expect from a
paintjob with many years on it there are some very small blemishes
around that are too tiny so show up in the photos, but nothing that
is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. As one can
see in the many photos of the underside, this 560SL is very clean
underneath. We have also included specific photos of the rockers,
lower front and rear quarter panels, and other areas on the car
most prone to rust to show how nice it looks.
A sticker with this individual Mercedes VIN is present on all the
body parts we checked, the hood, trunk, both doors, both front
fenders, both rear fenders, and both the front and rear bumper.
This is another excellent sign of originally, no accident history,
and no paint work. We have seen no paint lines, over-spray or other
signs of paintwork at all.
Interior
The Royal Blue (272) interior of the 560SL looks absolutely
fantastic. The seats are in "like-new" condition with no tears,
rips, or signs of wear. The seat is not worn at all in the typical
are on the driver's bolster where the driver gets in and out. The
carpet looks great with no stains, rips, or holes. All of the
gauges faces are crisp and the lenses are clear. The original door
panels look wonderful with no cracks or splits, and both door pulls
are solid and in tact. The Dark Blue (744) convertible soft-top is
in good condition. The rear windows are clear with no yellowing and
are not worn in the normal spot where the windows contact the top
mechanism. The dash is in excellent condition with no cracks or sun
fading. The car now has a more modern radio with Bluetooth
connectivity and auxiliary inputs. Please note that the original
power antenna still works properly. Thankfully, the original radio
is still with the car and included in the sale. This car has never
been smoked in; there is no aroma of cigarettes what so ever and no
burn marks. The trunk is very clean and nicely detailed with the
original spare tire, and rim, jack.
The excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the
meticulous care and attention this Mercedes has received throughout
its life.
Mechanical
This 560SL appears to be in very nice mechanical condition and it
is ready to be enjoyed. The engine starts right away every time and
idles well. It is an exceptional driver that feels great on the
road and at highway speeds. In the video one can observe the car
accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all
the gears, braking to a stoplight, and going through some curves.
Please note that it runs great, there are no strange noises or
vibrations, and the car performs quite nice overall. The brakes are
responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. There is no
blue smoke when starting or driving the car. It runs cool and does
not overheat. The gauge shows that the engine makes great oil
pressure. Also, the engine bay is clean, nicely detailed, and
correct as one can see from the photos.
Please note in the video the dash warning lights; they light up
when the key is first turned on and then go off when the engine is
started. There are no "check engine" lights that stay on. The horn
works as do the fog lights, headlights, brights, turn signals,
interior lights, indicators, dash gauges lights, wipers, power
locks, and fan. The a/c works and blows cold. The outside
thermometer does not show the outside...for more information please
contact the seller.
