Vehicle Description
The Mercedes SL inspires desire through its long-standing
reputation of delivering the highest standards of luxury in a
performance convertible. This 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL500 has a
powerful fuel-injected V8, sleek looks, and a loaded interior to
deliver a true modern classic luxury experience.
The Magma Red paint is a great color for the right person. All SLs
have a sleek, purposeful, and dignified presence, but this one goes
further. If you're looking at this car, it's probably because
you've seen a lot of the R129s in lighter colors. So this bold red
makes for a nice distinction that's only amplified by the level of
care that is evident from the moment the sunshine radiates its
luster. That's why the same high standard of Mercedes build quality
still applies today with tight tolerances and doors you close with
authority. The color-matched bumpers and rocker panel moldings give
this precision package a very sporty flair. And the 17-inch factory
alloys have the kind of clean style that add even more
attention-grabbing distinction.
The black convertible top looks terrific against the red, and while
it insulates you better than many other convertibles, this modern
classic was really meant to be open to the world. With the touch of
a button, the roof goes down to reveal a great-looking tan leather
interior. You can tell the took particularly good care of the
nicely sculpted bucket seats. Plus, the addition of red floor mats
not only is a nice coordination with the exterior, but also they do
a good job of protecting the light carpeting underneath. This is
full of the best luxury amenities, including power windows, power
steering, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, and a
premium AM/FM/CD changer stereo. Mercedes is also known for
engineering plenty of safety into their cars, and this can be seen
on everything from the dual airbags, to the anti-lock brakes, to
the roll bar that automatically pops up when danger is detected.
But your top two favorite features will likely be the automatic
climate control and heated seats. Together, they mean you can stay
comfortable with the top down no matter if it's noon in the summer
or a crisp fall evening.
The 500 in SL500 refers to the 5.0-liter DOHC V8 that lives under
the hood. It's believed to be the original motor, and its
ultra-tidy presentation is another sign of the respect this car has
received over the years. With 300+ horsepower, it gives you the
freedom to choose to keep up with traffic, or easily leave all of
them behind. The five-speed automatic transmission is ideal for
quick performance downshifts as well as overdrive cruising comfort.
The fully independent suspension was engineered to be adaptable for
both performance and luxury. Plus, four-wheel disc brakes and
grippy Michelin Pilot Sport tires let this SL live up to its
sporting heritage. In total, this is the ultimate roadster 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.
Sporty, loaded, and timeless, this red Mercedes SL is about that
ideal mix of class and performance that never goes out of style.
