*Reduced from $16950* Let me introduce you to Max. My Mercedes SL500 2001 AMG 2 door Convertible which i am reluctantly putting up For Sale due to relocating to Ireland. This low Millage (61500miles) Mercedes Sports car is becoming a Mercedes Classic with many people starting to view them as collectors if in great condition. I bought this car last year and would love to keep it as absolutely love driving it, the 5.0V8 engine is incredibly power full and incredibly smooth. I have carried out some repairs to it since i bought it which are common on these models: 1) Alternator and Serpentine Belt & Idler & pulley replaced 2) Engine & Gearbox serviced with new oil & filters 3) Convertible roof Hydraulic cylinders removed and replaced as they are common for leakage 4) Repaired brocken vacuum pipes in central locking system 5) Replaced Broken center dash Air vent controls The car comes as Standard with the AMG 2 Kit, that includes the AMG Alloys Bumpers & side skirts. The seats are in great condition with no rips or tears, the drivers seat has some light wear, cracking of the leather from getting in and out but the cushions and bolsters have not lost their original shape. It comes with factory extras such as Xenon Head lights, Heated seats, Auto dimming Mirrors, Garage/Gate opening/close function and factory built in phone kit, although the phone system is obviously very out of date in regards to technology. Comes with factory Hard top which is also in very good condition. Comes with OEM windscreen Sun Deflector and aftermarket canvas car cover The paintwork is in great condition with no signs of paintwork discolour and no Lacquer deterioration, there are a few little light scratches and a few little stone chips but no more than you could expect on 13 year old car. the Vin number is WDBFA68F61F195960. The Carfax is clean and on inspection shows that earlier in its life there was significant repairs carried out by Mercedes while still under warranty, for example a new gearbox and ECU with remapping and Diagnostics completed showing the repairs to be successful. I have put approximately 4000miles on this vehicle since buying it last year, the car fax shows prior to that it has had 3 private owners and then shows 3 commercial owners, in other word dealers and at one point an Liquidation company, i assumed a previous owner had gone bankrupt and the car was taken as an asset. The tyres are in good shape however are probably about 3/4 worn, if i was to keep it i would have been aiming to change then in approximately another 5000mile time. Brakes are the same, so unless you plan on doing high miles you wont have to do anything but drive and enjoy this amazing car for another year or 2. I am asking $16950.00 for this car as it is my pride and joy and is ready to drive with no expense other than re registering in your name. It is a great car and who ever is lucky enough to own it next will enjoy every minute of it.
