Vehicle Description
'89 was the final year for Mercedes' popular 107-chassis SL. It
offered all the steady improvements from seventeen years of
refinement and is a great car in every respect: lots of power,
modern features like ABS & airbag, good A/C and a reputation for
bulletproof reliability. This Anthracite over light grey leather
example was sold new right here in Denver and has been only three
owners' summertime ride, accumulating just 86K miles with a
damage-free CarFax, too.
The original paint & upholstery are in great condition, with no
cracks in the dash and nice console wood veneers. The last owner
invested quite a bit in maintenance, including new cam chain, spark
plugs, recharged A/C and replacing the cam cover gaskets and rear
main seal. The car runs & drives very well and everything works as
it should.
The original black canvas convertible top is in serviceable shape
with clear windows and, of course, the car still has its original
factory hardtop. Since it was never a winter car, there are very
few stone chips, no cracked lenses and absolutely no rust in the
body at all. Only the radio has been upgraded to a more modern
Sirius-enabled unit (original is in the trunk) and the owner's
books are in the glove box.
560SL prices cover a wide spread, from $65,000 very-low-mile garage
queens to needy high-mile cars in the 'teens. This car is in a
sweet spot of moderate miles and priced at an affordable....
$27,500.
