1989 Mercedes 560SL ---- In stunning condition, Sparkling Paint, New Soft Top, Perfect Mechanicals, Orig Toolkit, Orig Medkit and Orig Hard Top included!!! I purchased this car from the second owner 2 yrs ago with around 121,000 miles on it. It was an older lady. She was 65 years old and owned the car for 10 years. It was a gift from her husband, and in those years she only put a total of 7000 miles on the car (700 per year). The original owner owned the car for 14 years, and put 114,000 miles on the car. It has been garage kept, in a heated, and humidity controlled garage all its life. NO RUST!! For the past 11 years, it has been kept on a storage lift and used only during the summer months in good weather. Oil was changed every year, regardless of mileage. The car was restored several years ago, and so the paint is stunningly shiny, and still looks WET!!! The interior was updated and refreshed, but not restored (email me if you don't know the difference and I will explain). It shows very little age, and is in very good condition. Seats are solid, and smooth... no cracks, no fading. Carpets are fluffy, and clean. Wood on dash, and around radio is great, and still shines.... wood around base console has some minor cracks in the lacquer, and can be easily replaced or restored (a brand new replacement costs only $250). A/C was updated to 134a and is ICE COLD!! (needs annual recharge) Brand new German soft top. I put the car into a major service as soon as I bought it... Service included extensive maintenance done for several thousand dollars --- new brakes, new hoses, new fluids, etc. It has only been driven a couple hundred miles since the service... passed inspection perfectly... and still has valid inspection sticker. This is my dream car, and I hate to sell, but I just bought another toy for my collection and have run out of room --- wife wants her parking space in the garage back, so I need to sell this ASAP. Needs nothing... but could use a tune up. Only two known issues which are not urgent or important, but I want to be upfront with what I know for people who will incorrectly assume my ad is for a "perfect car": 1) Engine revs on start-up until warm then idles smoothly, 2) Power steering pump leaks one tiny drop every month. Both of these issues can be taken care of very easily and are common on "EVERY" 560SL. I'm not a dealer who is looking for maximum profit --- I just want to find this beauty a good home for a fair price... Happy to accommodate any arrangements/delivery/inspection as needed by buyer. I'm in no rush to sell, but would like any potential buyer to enjoy it this summer and have time to make storage and routine maintenance plans for the winter... that's how I keep all my cars. Thanks for reading... best of luck in your search!
