absolutely stunning Mercedes 450 SL in great condition inside and
out. The car was most recently owned and maintained by a wealthy
owner in the Monterrey, CA area and has been in Arizona with its
most recent owner for only about a year. It is rare to find these
SL's with this kind of low mileage because once you drive this car
you won't want to get out. Here is your chance to own the Mercedes
flagship for a fraction of its original sticker cost.
The list of some of the equipment:
-4.5L V8 Engine -Automatic Transmission -Power Windows -Power Door
Locks -Brand New Soft Top -Removable Hard Top -Upgraded Period
Correct Blaupunkt High Fi CD Sound -Ice Cold A/C -Beautiful
Original Palomino Leather Interior -Beautiful Original Bundt
Polished Alloy Wheels The body on the car is in very good condition
and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is still
mostly its original coat of Inca Red Metallic and is in awesome
condition and looks as good as the day in rolled of the lot. The
car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and
is solid as a rock as a west coast car should be. The car is riding
on gorgeous original 14" Bundt alloy wheels with radial tires. All
chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The black
soft top is brand new and also had the seals replaced with the top.
The hard top has good seals and the headliner is in awesome shape.
Overall the exterior appearance of this car is a 9 out of 10. The
interior is in great shape all around. The dash and door panels are
in perfect condition. The Leather seats are all in very good
condition and look absolutely as good as the day it was new which
shows the quality of material used in this car. The wood grain is
in excellent condition. The carpets are all very nice and have been
professionally cleaned. All dials and controls function as they
should; power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The
sound system is also very nice with a period correct slide out
Blaupunkt CD player and high hi sound still in place and sounding
great! Mechanically, this SL runs GREAT! The car starts right up
and shifts smooth as silk. The V8 engine is surprisingly quick and
responsive. Many Mercedes experts and mechanics stand behind the
4.5L as the best engine Mercedes ever made. It is reliable, easy to
fix, and parts are readily available. The suspension is very tight
and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph. The car has
all of its service stamps up to date and all mechanical systems are
top notch. The climate control system functions great and the
notorious climate control servo box under the hood has been
updated. The following recent items have been addressed: 117,806:

All in all, this is one of the cleanest and nicest SL's that I have
had the privilege of being associated with. It has been
professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners.
These cars are only original once, and getting ultra-hard to find
in this unmolested condition. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for
the price and includes every option offered in this car. This is
your chance to get an almost new 450sl convertible for a fraction
of the original cost and super well maintained. The car has a clean
Arizona Title. Any further questions please call Jon at
480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Mesa, AZ!
