Current N.A.D.A. value: $25,100.00 Review: "The Mercedes-Benz SL offers major-league performance and luxury. It's one of the most beautiful cars sold today. Slide into the cockpit, belt up, press the button on the console and 16 seconds later the power-retractable roof switches the SL from the quiet comfort of a luxury coupe to the open-air fun of a roadster. The seats are comfortable and the interior is luxurious.... In addition to power, every SL is packed with leading-edge technology to keep it safe and controllable. Every SL comes standard with traction control, electronic stability control, electronic brake distribution and brake assist. The electronically controlled ABC active suspension greatly reduces the roll and pitch for improved grip. We've driven various SL models at Hockenheim (a race track in Germany), at Road America (a road racing circuit in Wisconsin), at Milan Dragway in Michigan, and for hundreds of road miles, and we are continually amazed at the their graceful high-speed behavior and race-level performance...." The Mercedes SL500 is just an incredibly engineered, dynamic vehicle. One of the most beautiful cars on the road. It drives as good as it looks, which is great! Mine has tasteful upgrades that includes staggered Alloy Wheels ($2,400) 20x9, 20x10, the tires are 275/30/ZR20, 245/35/ZR20. New front and rear spoilers painted to match the original brilliant silver metallic paint of the car. New trunk brake light, new clear silver side front markers (lights), new updated grill with OEM chrome Mercedes emblem, new Mercedes all-weather floor mats, new trunk gas-charged lifts, just installed new Bosch wiper blades. Just had it serviced, oil/filter, fluids as needed. The command unit screen has two small areas that pixels that don't light up (see picture) but works well, rock chips on the bumper have been touched-up. One door ding on driver's side rear fender lip, hard to see in pictures. The windshield has chips that have been professionally repaired on the passenger side. Clock doesn't keep accurate time. Two small cuts in driver's seat, repaired. The reserve reflects those issues. The leather interior and the carpet are in very good condition. Just cleaned and conditioned the leather. The car comes with 2 Mercedes keyless keys, one needs to be re-programmed. The windows have professionally installed limo-tint. Clean CarFax, original paint, no accidents. The original base M.S.R.P. was $89,900.00, this car was well over $95,000.00 new. It is loaded with typical Mercedes SL500 items, heated/massage seats is one of my favorites.
