Vehicle Description
There's something great about going premium car shopping on our
site, and this 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is the perfect example.
It's a loaded 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 an
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. So it will almost make
traffic part to get out of your way. But really, a car like this is
not just about its confident style. The Smoke Silver color is an
elegant hue today. The metallic glow of the paintwork highlights
the clean and straight lines of the body, and it's a reminder of
the upper-class style. Because this is the factory paint
application, it's also a reminder of the superior build quality and
good care over its two-owner life thus far. The brown folding top
even harmonizes with this color package. 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.
Averaging only about 3k miles annually means this one has spent its
life less like a daily commuter and more as an occasional pleasure
driver. Those great-looking tan leather buckets are engineered to
keep you comfortable on long road trips, and they power adjust to
your ideal position. Of course, that's just the tip of the premium
features. This SL has real wood trim, power locks, cruise control,
power steering, power windows, 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. So you can go from enclosed luxury, to open to the world
without ever leaving the driver's seat. And the upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo with fold-out touchscreen and Bluetooth is a great upgrade
for better driving music. While this car has crossed the
quarter-century threshold to make it eligible for antique car
benefits in some areas, this one is very much a young classic. And
that means modern safety. This can be seen on features such as the
dual front 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 300+ 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 back roads, but also doesn't want to
give up supple comfort or space for the golf clubs.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, owner's
manual packet, two key fobs, and fun details like the accessory
cell phone and users manuals. Well-respected dignified style always
looks expensive, so you don't have to tell others about the value
price you paid. Call today!!!
