Vehicle Description
This 1988 Mercedes 560SL comes with a great factory color combo,
both tops, loaded A/C interior, and rare back seat. Who knew this
much distinction and class could be available for such an
affordable price?
Looking very bright and tropical in its factory-correct Petrol
Green Metallic, this 560SL is for someone who wants their car to
signal that fun times are ahead. But more than just a cheery
attitude, there is an underlying premium appearance to all the
Mercedes SLs. So it gives this bright one an instant respect that
comes from paint and body panels that remain quite nice through the
decades. And the pinstriping even reminds you of the car's
conservative side. In fact, this one keeps all the best Mercedes
traditions with its precision panel gaps, superior brightwork, and
doors that close with the kind of confident 'THUNK' that only a
quality Benz can provide.
While the Camel interior is a great coordinating color, we bet it's
not how it looks on the seats, but instead, how many seats there
are that first grabs our attention. It's rare to find an SL from
this generation with rear seats and seatbelts because it was an
option Mercedes never officially offered to the USA. Beyond
distinction and convenience, this interior looks quite clean and
well maintained. The 560SL was one of the most expensive cars
Mercedes offered during its reign, and the features list is quite
long. This includes desirable conveniences such as power windows,
power locks, power steering, cruise control, and cold air
conditioning so you can enjoy top-down motoring long into the
summer season. The radio has even been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD
stereo with modern Bluetooth connection. Because this was built
1988, there are also more modern features than most R107s, such as
a third brake light, anti-lock brakes, and a driver's air bag. It
comes with both the color-matching removable hardtop and a black
folding soft top. If you don't know how to properly stow these
roofs, don't worry, because this SL also comes with the owner's
manual and plenty of other original factory literature to help
you.
The 560SL came with a big 5.6-liter V8 motor making 238 hp and 287
lb-ft of torque - rivaling the contemporary Rolls-Royces of the
day. You can tell by the cleanliness of the engine bay and
undercarriage that this has always been a cherished luxury machine.
So there's nothing stopping you from hitting the road for a long
weekend, and when you do, this luxury convertible strikes the
perfect balance between nimble machine and all-day cruiser. On the
road, this R107 model has a fully-independent chassis offers both
elastic comfort and tight-handling. The four-speed automatic
transmission also strikes a balance between performance and
overdrive comfort cruising. The total package is finished off with
four-wheel disc brakes and new Michelin tires on those iconic
factory alloys.
Beyond the full owner's manual packet, you also receive the
original warranty info and maintenance records - everything you
need to continue this car's exceptional legacy. So when you can
stand out in all the best ways for such a nice price, you know this
is a deal that will be leaving us soon. Call today!!!
