Background Story of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

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

You might be wondering why there are so many R107-series Mercedes-Benz SLs for sale. Certainly, we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted our fair share. You see, that’s because the R107 was one of the best-sellers of its time. Between 1971 and 1989, Mercedes-Benz made over 300,000 of them. That’s pretty decent for a top-tier luxury car, and what’s even more eye-widening is, two-thirds of that was official US market sales! Yes, that’s before we consider the gray market or personal imports from Europe. Another factor that explains why so many are surviving is because they are built to last. Packing that inimitable Mercedes-Benz quality and sturdiness, there are plenty of examples to go around, ensuring that as many enthusiasts can experience the car as possible. Today’s 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Blue Ridge, Georgia is no different. It may have driven over 149,000 miles so far, but that’s mere chicken feed for this Merc. Plus, it comes with the original window sticker and maintenance records too.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in Anthracite Gray Metallic (172U), this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL includes its removable hard top with the sale as well. That’s great because it grants you two cars in one. You can install the hard top during the colder and wetter periods of year, and remove it when the weather is nicer. You’ll still have a black soft top to fall back on during those times. Then, the car’s timeless style, chromed alloy wheels and sleek silhouette all make for something truly elegant. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL features two gray leather-upholstered seats and a padded cargo area behind, in which we also see some aftermarket speakers have been installed. This is a key difference between US-market and European cars, as the latter squeezed in a small rear seat in lieu of the cargo area. This car also has cruise control, automatic climate control and a Pioneer Premier head unit for music.

Engine

A 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 powers this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. Rated at 227hp and 287lb-ft, it’s a smooth thing that offers ample highway driving capability. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox.

PENDING SALE
$31,999
SOLD

Widely considered as the finest classic Merc one can buy, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes from a legacy of excellence.

During that time, the car saw many upgrades and enhancements, making later-model examples such as this 63,000-mile one from Scranton excellent future investments. This car rocks a Champagne Metallic paint coat, a 5.6-liter V8, and a brown interior. It’s also got the 4-speed automatic transmission that became standard from 1981 onwards for the R107. The car also comes with a hard top included in the sale.
