The body on the car is in pristine condition and was extremely well
maintained. The car is finished in its gorgeous original Mercedes
color of Signal Red and is in awesome condition for being 23 years
old. This SL is straight as an arrow and looks spectacular. Carfax
shows a clean history with no reported accidents or damages. The
car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and
is solid as a rock as any collector car should be. It is riding on
the original 15" wheels with the correct size tires that are like
new! The windshield is like new with no chips. The soft top has
been replaced and is like brand new. The hard top has good seals
and the headliner is in awesome shape.
The interior is in great shape all around. The door panels are in
like new condition. The supple original Palomino leather seats are
all in very good condition and look very nice with no rips and very
minimal ware lines, which shows the quality of leather used in this
car. The dash is as it came from Mercedes and has not been capped
or repaired. The carpets are all very nice and are not worn or
damaged. All dials and controls function as they should, power
windows and antenna also are fully functional. All lights, gauges
switches, and accessories work as they should. This interior is in
excellent condition and really matches the quality of the rest of
the car.
The trunk compartment is clean enough to eat from. The spare tire
compartment is clean as a whistle and the original spare tire is
present. Original jack is in place and the tool kit is even still
in the original bag.
Mechanically, this SL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and
shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled
of the lot. The V8 engine is surprisingly quick and responsive. It
is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. This car
has an extensively documented service history that shows many large
service items that have been addressed including: 30k service 3mo
ago consisting of oil and transmission fluid services, air filter
and spark plugs, complete fuel system service and recent AC
service. The next owner should be able to enjoy this classic with
very little money out of pocket down the road outside of regular
maintenance. Under the hood is clean as a whistle and looks like
new. I just had the oil changed and the car given a once over and
its all ready to hit the road with the top dropped!
All in all, this is one of the cleanest and well documented SL's
that I have had the privilege of being associated with. I truly
feel it is one of the nicest 560sl's on the market for its mileage
and I will put it next to any of the lower mileage examples and it
will hold its own. It has been professionally maintained and truly
loved by its previous owner. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for
the price and includes every option offered in this car. This is
your chance to get an like new classic convertible for a fraction
of the cost of its original price. The car has a clean Arizona
Title and a clean Autocheck. Any further questions please call Jon
at 480-703-2337.
