Vehicle Description
There's something great about going premium car shopping on our
site, and this 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is the perfect example.
It's a loaded premium luxury machine that comes with everything
from a fuel-injected V8 motor to a choice of two tops. And you get
it all for one surprisingly affordable price.
If you want to treat the interstate like the Autobahn, do it in a
R129 Mercedes SL. It has an intimidating presence when it looms
large in anyone's rear-view mirror. That's due in large part to the
wide grille and massive three-pointed star. But from any angle,
this car looks like unstoppable performance. While it's not a small
car, it does have the sheetmetal stretched tight over
well-engineered full package. The Champagne Gold paint was a great
choice in 2001, because it still is an elegant hue today. The
metallic glow of the paintwork does a fantastic job of coordinating
with the sheen on the upgraded 18-inch AMG five-spoke wheels. You
might have also noticed in the pictures that this car comes with
the desirable removable hardtop. It gives you the option of having
a sophisticated personal luxury coupe whenever you desire.
The R129 is a true luxury and technology machine, and you know it
the moment you sit down. Those tan leather buckets are powered,
heated, and engineered to keep you comfortable on long road trips.
Of course the pair of seats is just the tip of the premium iceberg.
This SL has real wood trim, power locks, cruise control, power
steering, and automatic climate control. That last one is great,
because it knows how to keep up with a change in atmosphere, and
that's what the car was born to do. When you're using the
well-insulated soft top, it can power down in a matter of moments.
And power windows mean that you can go from enclosed luxury, to
open to the world without ever leaving the driver's seat. But
there's another side to Mercedes amenities that are always a nice
bonus. This premium marque is known for engineering plenty of
safety into their cars. This can be seen on features such as the
dual front airbags, side airbags, anti-lock disc brakes, and roll
bar that automatically pops up when danger is detected.
The 500 in SL500 means a mighty 5.0-liter V8 in the tidy engine
bay. The 302-horsepower fuel-injected, DOHC unit has the ideal mix
of quick reactions and smooth delivery. The five-speed automatic
transmission snaps to attention with the poke of the throttle; the
four-wheel power disc brakes provide excellent stopping power; and
the multi-link suspension provides impressive handling. In total,
this is the ultimate convertible 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.
Complete with owner's manual, you could be shopping for a used
hatchback or you could take home this Mercedes SL for the same
price. It's your chance at filet mignon for hamburger prices. Call
