1982 MERCEDES 500SL-EURO VERSION-IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THIS COUNTRY AS A GRAY MARKET CAR BACK IN THE EIGHTIES! IT HAD THE APPROVED CRASH BUMBERS INSTEAD OF THE SMALL CHROME BUMBERS. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER 5 YEARS AND HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. ONCE I BOUGHT VEHICLE HAD TO REPLACE HOSES AND BELTS, INSTALLED NEW ROTORS AND NEW DISC FOR 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES-IT HAS LARGER 8-CYLINDER MOTOR AND RUNS VERY QUICLKY-WHEN THIS CAR CAME OUT, WAS FASTER THAN THAN THE 911 PORSCHE AND ABOUT 15 THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE, TOO! I HAVE THE MECHANICS AT STAR IN TEMPE SERVICE THE CAR! THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST 500SL'S AROUND! THEY ALSO HAVE INSTALLED BRAND NEW AC AND IS WITH NEWER FREON! THE SOFT TOP IS LIKE NEW AND PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE DETAILED THE CAR AT LEAST 2 TIMES A YEAR. IT HAS BRAND NEW TIRES AND WITH NEWER SPARE. THE SPARE WAS THE ORIGINAL TIRE THAT WAS NEVER USED! I STILL HAVE THE MEDICAL KIT THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED! I INSTALLED A NEW CD PLAYER AND NEW BOSTON ACOUSTICS THAT SOUNDS GREAT! A NEW MOTOR FOR THE ANTENA WAS INSTALLED AND CRUISE CONTROL WORKS WELL! I HAVE GOTTEN UP TO 23 TO 25 ON THE HIGHWAY AND MOTOR DOESN'T BURN ANY OIL! I HAVE USED VALVOLINE WITH LUCAS OIL TREATMENT AND LUCAS FUEL INJECTION CLEANER FOR GAS INHANCEMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE AND THIS CAR IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER OF THIS LONGEST RUNNING BODY STYLE. FROM 1972-1989! I BELIEVE IT WAS THE LONGEST BODYSTYLES IN HISTORY TO RUN! IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A CLASSIC THAT WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE AND NOT TO SPEND A LOT TO MAINTAIN, THAN THIS IS A PERFECT AFFORDABLE CAR TO OWN! I HAVE IT APPRAISED AND INSURED FOR $34,000 AND WHAT THIS IS GOING TO SELL IS WAY UNDER THAT APPRISAL! IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS CALL ME AT 602-290-1170 THANKS
