Once in a great while a car comes along that is just special. This is one of those cars. "Emily" was bought new by her original owner in Portland, Oregon from Don Rasmussen Company, Portland's oldest Mercedes-Benz dealer. It remained as a ONE OWNER car and is STILL a ONE OWNER car. Lovingly cared for and regularly serviced throughout her life, as indicated by the 23 service records on the CARFAX History Report. No accidents ever. Clean, clear Oregon Title in Original Owner's Name. The car is finished in beautiful Ruby Red Metallic Pearl Effect Paint with a stunning complimentary Parchment Leather Interior that is in LIKE NEW CONDITION. The body is ding free and laser straight. The '129' series SL was in production from Late 1989 to 2002. SL320, SL500, and SL600 configurations were offered in the USA. The car is equipped with the following: Naturally Aspirated 3.2 Liter 6 Cylinder Engine producing 228HP (strong,reliable, and 24 MPG on the highway)4-Speed Automatic TransmissionClimate Controlled Heat/Air Conditioning (Complete A/C System replaced at 131,617 Miles)Power SteeringAnti-Lock Brake SystemPower WindowsKeyless EntryDual Power SeatsTilt WheelCruise ControlFactory BOSE Premium AM-FM Cassette with Amp and Factory Mercedes-Benz CD Changer (trunk mounted with complete case/cover)Premium Chrome Upgraded Chrome Mercedes-Benz Wheels with Nearly New Bridgestone Potenza Tires (matching)Factory Power Controlled Roll BarDual Rear Storage CompartmentsHalogen Headlamps with wiper system, front and rear driving/fog lightsPower Black Canvas Convertible Soft Top (Looks almost new and I do not think it has ever been used)Removable Hard Top with Heated Glass Window (inside headliner literally looks like new)Full Size Spare Wheel with Pirelli Tire in Excellent ConditionComplete Factory Jack and Mercedes-Benz Tool Roll in Original Cloth CaseBeautiful Polished Wood Accents in Interior (all look like new) Original M.S.R.P. $80,322.00 Never Smoked In Just serviced and professionally detailed. We also replaced the car's original hood pad because it had deteriorated (very common problem). It now has a brand new one and looks excellent! Overall I would rate this car a 9 on a scale of 10. The exterior finish is simply stunning and the paint shines brilliantly. A few minor stone chips have been professionally touched up with factory Mercedes-Benz Touch-Up paint which will be included to the new buyer. The vehicle is missing its front "tow hook cover" and it is available new from Mercedes-Benz for $124.00; available used online as well. It is just a small piece of formed plastic and is 100% cosmetic. As stated above, the complimenting interior looks like new with no visible wear and tear what so ever. Door panels, headliner, console, carpets, dash, lighted sun visors, etc. are all in excellent condition. The car starts, runs, and drives excellent. The car even retains its original Mercedes-Benz Windshield with its original factory signature sticker! The Hard Top Holder shown in the photo is NOT included in the sale. Please look at all the photos carefully and you will ascertain that the car is simply stunning. All SLs are NOT created equal. There IS a difference. Very low mileage for a 19 year old car and it looks like it has 100,000 less miles on it than it does! We welcome all inspections at the buyer's expense and invite people to have this done prior to bidding on the vehicle. Please call me personally at (503)539-6609 if you'd like this done and we will work with you to make it happen. This car will come with all of its original books in its leather case, clean CARFAX* History Report, as well as a 2 bottle set of Mercedes-Benz factory touch up paint to keep the exterior looking as great as possible. *this vehicle's CARFAX Report shows the vehicle is worth $2,790.00 OVER retail value based on the service history of this particular vehicle.
