Beautiful, all original, well-maintained, collectible 1991 500 SL convertible with newer recently installed newer top and most of the expensive components all recently replaced so you don't have to worry. This car has had less than 5K miles placed on it per year during its life span. Always garage kept. Must sell. Life changes requires I let this go. One of the nicest early 90s 500 (large V8) SLs you will ever find. Current National Auto Dealer's Association price valuation puts this car's bottom end value(for fair/poor vehicles) at $7,975.00 You are buying a collectible vehicle in excellent condition for its age that is valued by NADA at approx $12 thousand dollars. Yet I am willing to sell at below the low end NADA valuation (this provides you a hint of my strike price) You can find similar R-129 early 90s SL cars at the $5-$6K range but they will not be safely drive able for long distances. Unlike this car which was meticulously cared for. No cracks in dashNo dentsPaint waxes well and shines Very good quality, newer top with no tearsLeather is Good with only one minor worn out section (as explained) All mechanical components in best condition possible90% brake pad life remaining as per writing by mechanic (just inspected) This exceptionally maintained car was featured under "Dream Cars" on a budget by CNN Money (link can be provided separately if requested) I invested over $15,000 of documented receipts in new parts last 3.5 years. Air conditioning blows ice cold and heater works like new. Runs great. Exhilarating acceleration. You must be able to PICK UP yourself in Charlotte or arrange for your own delivery. Always garaged kept. Whatever mechanic said it needed I did with no questions asked.

Never used as daily commuter.
