Here is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic automobiles of the 80's. It is a vehicle that had announced you had style, a level of success and that your time has arrived. Everyone knew who's car it was. This vehicle is stored in a climate controlled building. It is maintained by a Mercedes trained professional with 40+ years of experience. The car is started regularly, but rarely driven, never has been in the rain and doesn't even know what snow is. It has 11450 MILES on it and looks like it did when it drove off of the showroom in 1987. The exterior is FLAWLESS. Interior appears like no one has ever sat in the car. Chrome and glass, as bright and clean as it ever was. I have all new tires on it and they are mounted on wheels that have no nicks or curb rubs. The color combination is one of the most popular even today. The "signal RED with a palomino leather, also has a very attractive dark brown convertible soft top that I don't think has been up more than 3 times in the last 20 some years. I felt that if I had the hard top off, It was CONVERTIBLE time. Well, I have come to a period of my life that I realize this car should be enjoyed by someone who has the time to. I have decided to sell "a few" of my automobiles. With that being said, it is my intention to sell this car. I have placed a very reasonable reserve on it with that in mind. I know there are a couple of other mid 80's SL out there but quite simply, they are not my car. I do have the title on hand and it is lien free. Neither the car or title will leave my ownership until all funds have cleared my bank. I will take a deposit only thru pay pal. The balance to be paid by wire transfer, certified bank check or plain ole CASH. No Exceptions will be made, so please don't ask. It is a very nice car that can be driven anywhere. Thank you for looking at my listing. If any questions come up, please ask before you bid or the auction ends. I can be reached at 484-645-3468 On May-12-14 at 17:32:42 PDT, seller added the following information: ***RESERVE--HAS--BEEN--LOWERED***$$$$$*****RESERVE--HAS--BEEN--LOWERED***$$$$$***RESERVE--HAS--BEEN--LOWERED*** I would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to look at my listing and everyone that I have spoken to over the last week. As I have told everyone, it is our intention to sell the car at the conclusion of the auction if the bids get into the right price neighborhood. To help that happen, I have decided to lower the reserve. There still will be a reserve, but.... That being said, I know that my car is a 87, ( a few callers have said, IF it was an 89, it would be worth ...) BUT, this car is going to do 89 money. This car, when the auction is over, or 2 years from now is going to be the one that haunts you if you don't bid on it. All of the I should haves or I could haves, it really just doesn't matter. Let's review what does have. A. A real, 11k mile car that is in need of NOTHING. Ice cold air condition. Brand new Michelin tires. Get in the car and drive it anywhere. No surprises !!!! B. Condition, "FLAWLESS" !!!!! You can actually go out of your way and try to find some minute item if that's what you are into. Personally, I would be dancing in the street to find a car like this. C. Color combination, Signal red with Palomino. Does it really get any better ? I am sure there is someone out there that could say, I wish it was white. It Is not. It has one of the most popular combinations available. There are no marks, stains, creases or ink marks anywhere in the car. Dashboard has no fading, discoloration or cracking. Lighter was never used. The vehicle has no odors, mustiness, or hint of a air freshener anywhere. Vin plates are on all the body panels where they are suppose to be and the numbers all match D Everyone I have spoken with that is very interested in purchasing the car has there own reasons for buying it 1 Ralph, your father would love it. Best birthday gift EVER. 2 Woody, put that 280 away and your wife can drive this one with an air of confidence. She will go anywhere and at any time. (maybe to often) :)) 3 Klaus, Ship it back to Germany, and they might just want to put it on display somewhere 4 Larry, It was a pleasure to meet you. It was great to show the car to someone that really appreciated it for what it is and clearly loves his Mercedes Benz. We have a day left for the auction. I want to wish everyone good luck. If you want to buy the right car, well....rest assure, this is the car. There is no correct dollar value on this type of car. Everyone has their opinion. It comes down to if you want to buy the right car, enjoy the perks of ownership and the days of enjoyment that this car has to offer. Maintain it the way I am sure any of you guys will and you can not pay to much. 10 years from now, you be whispering to someone "do you believe I ONLY paid ____" or someone might be whispering to you, Dad, can I take your red car to...homecoming, prom, wedding??
