SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY Please read the terms on the bottom first BEFORE placing a bid.2002 Mercedes-Benz 500SL (R129) Silver Arrow Edition. Only 1,550 made and last of its kind with the classic and legendary Mercedes-Benz quality. I highly encourage potential buyers to inspect the car in person before bidding/purchasing. I will be as transparent as I can, but nothing can be compared to seeing it for yourself in person. Car is in excellent condition. It has been garaged and it shows. It has spent most of its life in Indiana and Tennessee. The Silver Arrow silver paint (paint code 777) is in excellent condition, with some rock chips on the front bumper from normal highway driving, and a small scratch on the passenger's side of the rear bumper. Both hard top and soft top (almost never used) are in excellent condition, and hydraulics work perfectly. The Silver Arrow exclusive 2 piece 18" Alloy wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sports with fronts that are about 2 years old (7/32nds tread) and about a year old (9/32nds tread) for the rears. Interior is in good condition overall. The two tone leather is in good condition, with the exception of wear on the driver's side bolster, and some discoloration on the grey leather (more apparent in person than in pictures). Steering wheel appears to have been re-dyed at some point. Clean carfax, and the car has been serviced by Mercedes of Indianapolis and Mercedes of Knoxville all its life. Original owner originally leased the car, purchased it after the lease and owned it till late 2017. Mechanically in excellent condition. New OEM+Brembo front brakes and fresh full synthetic oil change. The only attention it might need in the near future are valve cover gaskets (some leak around the seals) which is relatively easy to replace on this car ($50 parts, about 2 hours of time). Again, trying to be transparent. This is a maintenance item that any SL you find on the market will need, if it hasn't been replaced yet. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Mercedes-W129/23-ENGINE-Valve_Cover_Gasket_Removal/23-ENGINE-Valve_Cover_Gasket_Removal.htm I've owned the car since Dec 2017, only to realize I don't get to drive it enough, and it's just sitting in the garage. I think I've put maybe 20-25 miles on it since I've owned it. Hoping to find a new owner who can truly enjoy and appreciate this well engineered beauty. Hardtop stand, cover, owner's manual, 2 sets of keys + valet key, and an original collector's catalog from 2002 highlighting the Silver Arrow is included with the auction.
