"The 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 with the SL1 Sport Package transforms
the stately grand touring roadster into a much more aggressive,
muscular classic. While it utilizes the same mechanical components
as the standard model, the Sport Package adds highly sought-after,
factory-installed AMG cosmetic and wheel upgrades."-Ean Laubach
This 1998 Mercedes Benz SL500 "Sport Package" is featured in
Brilliant Emerald exterior with a Parchment leather interior. Power
is provided by the 5.0-liter 32-valve V8 paired with a 5-speed
electronically controlled automatic transmission. The engine is
factory rated at 315 horsepower and 347 lb.-ft of torque. The total
retail price of this car with the Sport Package and optional
equipment was $87,815.00.
This SL500 has been very well maintained with service records
dating back to 2008. The Emerald paint shows particularly well with
a few minor imperfections typical of light use. The Parchment
interior also shows very nicely with only minimal wear although the
climate control screen is indicating some pixel degradation.
This Mercedes-Benz has the desirable factory option designated as
SL1 "Sport Package", this package provides 18" Monoblock wheels
(that do have some pitting) and an AMG aerodynamic body kit.
With the odometer indicating only 53,006 miles the V8 motor comes
to a quick start and effortlessly shifts through the gear range.
The SL class Mercedes are known for a superb driving experience,
and this grand tourer will not disappoint.
