The cars runs extremely well and shifts great no drive line issues. Is not rusty, very well taken care of as you can see. Hard top and everything in the listing is included. The A'c blows just stopped blowing cold, it could be the shrader valve, haven't checked anything yet. Changed oil, breaks, new tires, new air filters. The top looks new, paint is in very good shape a few scratches from the hard top from previous owner. The convertible top goes up and down with no issues, the car is a blast to drive I will have the hard top on the car for pickup. The car is 18 yrs old car I am explaining to the best of my knowledge; all the buttons work, rear sun block raises, adjusting steering wheel, in out up down etc., head rests, seats ect. Has the matching spare and jack, NEW battery. New windshield was put in, all the lights work, wipers etc. The rims have some spots were the clear coat is flaking they can easily be re painted. Tires are BF Goodrich and basically like new. The car has a repaired clear Maine Title, Says repair on the title, it is not a rebuilt title. I know his business had the car so might have been a mechanics lean to get the title. He had it for around 3yrs.VIN:WDBFA67F3WF165937WMI / VDS / VIS:WDB FA67F3 WF165937Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz DCAG DAIMLER AGBrand:Mercedes-BenzModel:SL-class R129Region/Plant:Bremen GermanyCheck:3Year:1998Sequential number:65937 Extra information on the vehicle:Name:Mercedes-BenzName:SL-ClassYear:1998ChassisSales designation: SL500 [MODEL_IDX = 7]Order number: 0 8 704 08726Delivery date: 16 02 1998Market: NA,North AmericaProduction order: Paint code 1:143Equipment:262A - LEATHER BLUEEngine no.:119982 12 018435Transmission:722620 00 788024 [transmissionType = GA]Steering: Front axle 1:Rear axle 1:Rear axle 2:Battery 1: Fuel cell 1: Electric motor 1: SA code241 - FRONT SEAT LH ELECTRIC ADJUSTABLE WITH MEMORY242 - FRONT SEAT RH ELECTRIC ADJUSTABLE WITH MEMORY249 - AUTOMATICALLY DIPPING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR251 - RADIO MB - EXQUISIT - USA309 - CUP HOLDER461 - INSTRUMENT WITH MILES IND.

The superior electronic 5 speed transmission and side airbags were added in 1996 and continued through 2002. The much improved 5-speed transmission, 54 pounds lighter with 40% fewer parts than the earlier 4 speed, kicks down immediately and lets you hit redline from any speed. You can recognize it by the "4" position on the transmission selector, which is lacking on their earlier 4 speed versions. (Top gear is marked "D" on both.)Spotters Guide: You can identify this version by the two long rounded vents in each front fender and the classic square stepped tail lights. Car is listed locally and the listing can end at anytime. Car is being sold as is, no warranty , non refundable 500 dollar deposit.
