This car has been in our family since new. I bought it from my mother with 50K miles and have driven it for over 10 years. It is very well maintained, always garaged, never seen snow, and has never been in an accident. This car shows no signs of rust. Last year, we had the car professionally rebuilt including: removing the engine to have heads resurfaced and a valve job, replacing engine mounts, radiator, fuel relays, all gaskets, seals, plugs, wires, belts, hoses, exhaust valves and seals, timing chain tensioner and guides, etc. The chrome and various rubber trim are all in very good condition. The interior is in good condition showing normal wear for a car of this age. Carpet and floor mats are nice and the carpeting in the trunk is in very good condition. The car comes from a smoke-free home and starts easily both on cold and warm starts and the four-speed automatic transmission is easily engaged for smooth acceleration off the line. Shifting is consistently good and acceleration comes on strong when approaching freeway speeds, with kick-down responding as expected. The car steers nicely without much effort and braking is very good with minimal foot pedal pressure required. The A/C has a leak in one of the hoses and is currently not charged. I have an estimate for the repair. The soft top is in excellent condition with a very small tear in one of the plastic side windows. Paint and interior have normal wear for a 28 year old car. I have all maintenance records for this car since new. Other features of this 560SL include the following:Matching color hardtop with a rolling storage cartUpgraded Alpine StereoExcellent tire tread and newer chrome plated Mercedes style rimsAll original service manuals, tools, med kit, and a full size sparePlease do not assume anything about this car before bidding. I will be happy to answer all questions. This car is being sold as-is with no warranties. I simply have no time to spend with it, driving it a few times per month to keep it in shape, and I'm storing it in a safe and dry facility. Thanks for looking.
