Here is a beautiful 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Roadster. The car had
an original sales price of $65,780 all the way back in 1989! This
car has been driven extremely sparingly during 29 years of
ownership. This car is also the final year of 107 body production
and the final year for the 560sl with only 5,351 built for the
worldwide market. That makes the beautiful Schwartz Black on Gray
Leather example quite rare! These low mile European classics are
getting quickly swallowed up by hungry collectors looking for the
next wave of ultra collectible MB classics. Don't miss your chance
to put this one in your investment portfolio! This car lived its
whole life in California and is a rust free example with a clean
history on carfax and autocheck.
The following is a list of options as this 560 SL is currently
equipped:
-5.6L 250hp V8 Engine
-4 Speed Automatic Transmission
-Posi-Traction Rear End
-Power Windows
-Power Door Locks
-Power Antenna
-Fog Lamps
-Automatic Climate Control
-Removable Hard Top
-Original Leather Interior
-Becker Gran Prix Cassette
-Mercedes Alloy 15" Wheels w/ Fresh All Season Radials
The body on the car is in pristine condition and was extremely well
maintained. The car is finished in its gorgeous original Mercedes
color of Schwartz Black and is in awesome condition. The car is
straight as an arrow and looks spectacular. The car has been
completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as
a rock as any collector car should be. The car is riding on the
original 15" wheels with the correct size tires that are all fresh.
The original windshield is like new with no chips. The hard top has
good seals and the headliner is in awesome shape.
The interior is in great shape all around. The dash and door panels
are in like new condition. The supple original gray leather seats
are all in very good condition and look very nice with no rips or
ware lines, which shows the quality of leather used in this car.
The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. All lights,
gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. This interior
is in wonderful condition.
The trunk compartment is clean enough to eat from. The spare tire
compartment is clean as a whistle and the original spare tire is
present. Original jack is in place and the tool kit is even still
in the bag.
Mechanically, this SL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and
shifts smooth as silk. The V8 engine is surprisingly quick and
responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily
available. Recent inspection upon arrival to AZ yields a clean bill
of health with no major leaks or defects. Under the hood is clean
as a whistle and looks like new. I just had the oil changed, and
brake fluid flushed and the car given a once over and its all ready
to hit the road with the top popped!
This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every
option offered in this car. This is your chance to get an beautiful
classic convertible for a fraction of the cost of its original
price. The car has a clean Arizona Title and a clean Carfax and
Autocheck.
