NO RESERVEClassic Mercedes-Benz Roadster BlueChip Motorcars is pleased to offer this fine 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster that represents an era of high-end German craftsmanship. It is a well-maintained and serviced touring convertible with both soft and hardtop. It is fully loaded with all the options expected in a luxury convertible from one of the best names in automobiles. If you could afford the 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL when new it meant that you embraced high-end luxury and the long-term investment potential that these models offered. No other two-seat convertible from the era could match the feel and look of the 560SL. VIN#WDBBA48D9KA092712 tells the story of a pampered Roadster with an MSRP of $65,000, yet today the 560SL is seeing a sharp rise in collector values, according to the Hagerty Price Guide Report. Here's an excellent opportunity to own a classic Roadster with beautiful factory white paint free from dents, dings or scratches. The lovely, supple tan leather interior and quality carpeting was pampered. It obviously had a wonderful life, and with only 89,660 miles on the odometer, the car continues to display the pride of ownership bestowed upon the 560SL of this vintage. It drives like an great SL should; smooth and forgiving and offers plenty of performance when needed most. The ride is classic Mercedes-Benz; comfortable and quiet, and because of its stellar condition, the car continues to turn heads wherever it is driven. The undercarriage (see images) is clean and free from damage, and the trunk area features the original spare tire and service tools. All gauges are in working order. This was the final year of the W127 Roadster, but it received a slender third brake light over the truck lid before production was halted. The 5.6-liter SOHC V8 16 valve engine was designed to run hundreds of thousands of miles with only periodic maintenance. The four-speed automatic transmission is very responsive throughout the rpm band, too. They don't make luxury V8 Roadsters like this one any longer. This very original and collectible '89 560SL will surely please the most discerning enthusiasts of fine German automobiles for many years to come.

About Factory Correct Cars offered by BlueChip Motorcars BlueChip Motorcars periodically offers classic cars that may be listed as Factory Correct, or Numbers Matching. Because there are many opinions about the term(s) used to describe these types of listings, allow us to explain how BlueChip Motorcars comes to that assessment. As you may know, depending on the source, the term “matching numbers, or factory correct,” may mean many things to many people. Purists might define it as a car with every possible window crank, dash knob or even every nut and bolt is original to the car from the time it left the production line. Although some classic cars do exist in that rare condition, most do not. The majority of classic cars on the market were at some point in their ownership, restored or repaired with NOS parts (new old stock) or licensed reproduction parts. Whenever the information is available to us about the use of these parts, BlueChip Motorcars will gladly pass it along to the potential buyer. BlueChip Motorcars uses the term Factory Correct or Numbers Matching only to distinguish a vehicle where the engine casting code corresponds with the VIN and Cowl Tag code. If these codes tell the same story about the car in question, BlueChip Motorcars then considers it to be a Factory Correct or Numbers Matching vehicle. However, unless otherwise stated, the transmission, rear end, and transmission may or may not be original to the car. BlueChip Motorcars welcomes all potential buyers to verify all the information with a qualified expert. We would be happy to email you all the numbers that are obtainable on any vehicle where the term Factory Correct or Matching Numbers is used.
