If you are hesitant about bidding on this car, let this description assure you that it is an absolute gem: beautiful and immaculately maintained inside and out, plus driving it is like a dream. Tracing its bloodline back to the infamous 300SL “Gullwing”, this Mercedes 500SL is an exceptional example of a luxury sports car at its best. “SL” stands for Sport Leicht, or Sport Light, and describes this 1998 500SL perfectly. Powered by a beautifully built V-8 motor, the 500SL has 315bhp and can reach speeds up to 155mph. Going from 0-60 in a little more than 6 seconds is very fast, but what makes this car so desirable is that you can achieve these speeds in complete luxury. With sport suspension and a quiet tuned motor, the 500SL epitomizes the essence of German luxury sports cars. Our 500SL has an AMG sport package and a premium sound system featuring a 6-disc Kenwood CD changer, and a top of the line Kenwood in-dash DVD receiver head unit that can be heard through Bose speakers. The roof is in immaculate condition and is fully automatic as is the rear windscreen that can be raised once the roof has been stored. The paint is a midnight blue; nearly black in a shadow and flashing vibrant blue in the sun. The leather seats are tan, and this color combination looks even better when it’s in front of you. With 72,000 miles, this Mercedes is in great condition for its age. If you’ve ever wanted a luxury sport convertible but the price was out of your league, here’s your chance. The mint condition in which this car has been maintained puts it beyond the league of even new luxury sports cars.
