Vehicle Description
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a well-kept classic made for
drivers. You've got a terrific factory-correct color combo, a
luxurious interior, both roofs, fuel-injected V8 power...and it's
all offered for a terrific price.
This 560SL is from the final year for the now legendary R107 model
designation. These cars are iconic because they represent an era
when very few companies could build a convertible without worrying
about safety regulations. Mercedes crafted their cars so robustly
that the R107 exceeded these standards, and they did it elegantly
without an unsightly roll bar. Today it remains elegant, powerful,
comfortable, timeless, and nimble - a classic that can do
everything. And this versatile car was built for driving and
showing off a little. The factory correct Garnet Red was resprayed
later in life so that this sunshine-friendly convertible can look
good in the sunlight. And the wheels were even upgraded to
high-polish alloys. It looks quite nice without making you too
nervous to take this one on real road trips. There's even a clear
bra to help protect the front. There's a black folding roof for
those times when you get caught out in the rain. Plus, there's also
the optional color-matched hardtop for those days when you want a
coupe-like profile.
While you have the choice of two-tops, the best choice is no roof
at all. The R107 SL was great for providing a hard tonneau to hide
the roof and make this look like a true roadster. Plus, the tan
leather interior makes for a sophisticated color combo against the
deep red exterior. It's loaded with great features like power
windows, power locks, an alarm, cruise control, an upgraded
AM/FM/CD stereo, and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. It even
has features often missing from these classics, like the tool kit
and first aid kit. The odometer reflects the actual mileage, but
the overall condition shows you that this one has been treated with
respect for over three decades. If you do decide to replace or
upgrade any features, the long life of the R107 model means many
pieces are surprisingly affordable. And while nearly twenty years
of history makes this car iconic, having the final year of the
series means there are some features that were not on earlier
versions. This includes the four-speed automatic transmission,
third brake light, and a driver's air bag.
The large 5.6-liter fuel-injected V8 was a terrific motor to have.
It was the kind of displacement you could expect in a large
American cruiser, except Mercedes engineered smoothness along with
its power. This one even shows the right signs of maintenance,
including a newer Behr aluminum radiator. The overdrive
transmission, fully independent suspension, power steering, and
four-wheel power disc brakes are all part of a package built to be
comfortable, sharp, and an all-around terrific driver.
The sale comes complete with plenty of maintenance records and the
owner's manual. This is a stylish and luxurious driver offered for
a terrific price. Call today!!!
