Beautiful 1988 Mercedes Benz 560SL Convertible I bought this fun, great roadster 4 years ago as a weekend vehicle to enjoy in this great Florida weather. Well, it's time for a new toy, so I'm letting her go to a new home. I've driven her all the way from Tampa to Hilton Head, South Carolina and back, and she is just as capable on the highway as she was when she was new. The throaty V8 offers up plenty of power in all situations, yet drives very smoothly around town. My 560SL is not a show car, but is more of a weekend driver that could also be a daily driver if you so desired. It's not perfect, but it still turns heads wherever I go in her. It has been well taken care of, and will be enjoyed for another 150,000 miles. The Good Strong engine, new brakes, accident free, good top, interior is probably an 8 out of 10 for the age of the car, seats look great, wood trim is in good shape, exterior was repainted before I purchased and shines like new, both power windows work perfectly. Comes with a convertible hard top also. The Semi-Bad The A/C blower motor makes a little noise probably 10% of the time (I will replace if purchased Buy it Now), there are a few small spots where the newer paint job has cracked, there are a couple bushings in the front that creak (I will fix if purchased Buy it Now). The blower motor and bushings are fairly inexpensive repairs. The Ugly When I bought the car, there were a couple things that did not work properly in the instrument cluster. All the important gauges work, but the gauge that shows gas mileage does not work. The visors in the 560SL's are notoriously problematic. I have replaced all the male and female visor clips, and one needs to be replaced again. I have ordered the clip, and will put the driver's side visor back in the car before it ships. All in all, this is a really fun weekend car that will turns heads everywhere. It is not perfect, but you can drive this car and not worry. Don't buy one that has been ragged out or not taken care of. This is a great car for a 25-year-old vehicle! You will love it!
