Manual Top works reliably - no mechanism to fail - no electronics - no hydraulics - up/down in 20 seconds - easy to operate and dependable. This car is lots of fun. It always turns heads. We inherited this car from my wife's Aunt and she hates that we have to sell it. We just do not have room in the driveway for the additional car! We cruise up & down the coast here in Florida - top down - sunshine & fresh air. Gonna miss that. Especially fun at night! We have Antique Plates on it - costs $246 / year for car insurance. Car needs nothing for you to jump in & start having fun! It was appraised to be worth at least $7300. I am asking just $5950! Doing this to sell it quickly & give the buyer instant equity & help to offset shipping fees (if needed). We were able to ship this car from N. Florida to S. Florida for just $300!

Done Deal! Look at my Feedback Log. Over 14 years on eBay - with NOT ONE - EVER - Negative Feedback. Never. So you can bid with confidence - that this car is EXACTLY as described. Photos have not been edited, cropped, not even to blur my license plate number! I just took the pictures with my phone and posted them to the auction. Please use the 'Buy-It-Now' or 'Make Offer' options on this auction. Email offers are ignored. Any questions will be answered as soon as I get them. If you want additional pictures - no problem - I will email them directly to you. Look at Condition vs. Price for this car - compared to the others out there. This is BY FAR the best overall deal. Cheaper Cars: There are cheaper ones - for sure - but missing door panels - parts and pieces missing - bubbled rust - in tall grass - leaks - who knows the last time that moved? Years? Who Knows? This car is ON THE ROAD - registered - and going places. Pristine Cars: There are cars like mine that are in perfect condition - trailer queens - show cars - and go for TONS of money! Who can afford that? Not me. Not this one. Great Car at a Reasonable Price! Auction Cars: The auction cars with 'Reserve Not Met' - who knows if you will get that car at a good price or not? (probably NOT!) Out bid at the last minute - a week wasted! This sale - You have more control over the terms of the sale - and you are working with me to find a spot where we can both be happy with the transaction. Cars are really about people. I want you to feel great about buying this Mercedes Benz Roadster. Value: 1950's MB SL's are off the charts expensive - $100K or more! The 1960's MB SL's can't be touched for less than $30K in any condition! 1970's MB SL's are still reasonably priced (for now) and are going up in value. I understand that they are the next ones to pop in price. You can see the progression here. Finally, Thank You for looking at my Auction. Buy It Now & we will get the deal done very quickly. Have a great Summer in your MB 450 SL Convertible & Make Me an Offer! Please Note - I have this car For Sale locally - so I reserve the right to shut down the auction at any time. Since you are reading this - the car is still available.
