Overview of 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL For Sale by Owner

The Mercedes-Benz R107-generation SL is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and popular models that the Three-Pointed Star has ever made. Produced for 18 years, this era of SL is the second-longest generation Mercedes has ever made, second only to the equally iconic G-Wagen. And it’s not hard to see why: timeless looks coupled with incredible performance and luxury cemented it as one of the best roadsters money could buy. Our featured car is a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, featuring a large-displacement V8 under the hood. This car is located in Frisco, Texas, and has a reported over 141,000 miles on the clock.

Exterior and Interior

The boxy yet sophisticated lines of the SL are perfectly complemented by the burgundy paint job that this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL features. You’ll note the larger US-spec front and rear bumpers, mandated at the time, adding originality to this specimen. It sits on what appear to be original-spec 15-inch wheels, which are wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber. While the car features a retractable soft top, our featured example also boasts a hard top, enhancing both the protection and styling of the vehicle. Inside, the smart and functional dashboard transports you to a simpler era. The layout of the dials and gauges is clear and concise in typical classic Mercedes fashion. The cabin is endowed with burgundy leather, as well as burgundy carpets and lower dash portions, making this ’80s cabin truly coordinated with the exterior finish. The driver is presented with a large four-spoke steering wheel, featuring the Mercedes logo proudly at its center, with readouts for the car’s speed (in mph and km/h), RPM, oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level, and economy all displayed.

Engine

At the heart of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL lies a 5.6-liter V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, which directs power to the rear wheels. You’ll also find Mercedes’ famously composed suspension ensures confident handling, while the refined drivetrain will likely provide smooth, quiet, and reliable operation.
