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

It’s no surprise that we’ve seen a lot of Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class examples pass through our hands on to new and eager owners. This generation of SL ran between 1971 and 1989 and is widely hailed as one of the best modern classics you can find. Furthermore, the R107 generation was popular among movie stars, on and off-screen. It embodied the very spirit of Mercedes-Benz in producing timeless cruisers that didn’t compromise on luxury or comfort. Why not get your very own slice of R107 goodness with this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster? It’s got just 78,000 miles on the clock and appears to be in excellent condition.

Exterior and Interior

Arctic White is one of those colors that really speaks volumes when adorned on a car like this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster. The color accentuates the timeless lines of the car, and while some people don’t like the North American-mandated safety bumpers, the color of this car naturally guides your eyes away from them. Then, you’ll find quintessential Mercedes-Benz cues such as the iconic silver alloy wheels and, of course, the Star on the front grille. Meanwhile, we’ve been informed that this car comes with a new OEM convertible top, as well as its original hard top and a new canvas top. That’s another beautiful thing about the R107 – it’s an all-season car. Pop on the hardtop during Autumn and Winter, and leave it at home for Spring and Summer – you’ve still got a canvas top in case it gets too warm or rains. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster is a two-seat affair with a padded luggage area behind the seats. On some European market models, a dinky set of rear seats was installed here. In this car, the space plays host to a pair of aftermarket speakers, and the Mercedes-Benz first-aid kit is an inclusion in all the brand’s cars. There’s a Kenwood head unit in the center console, as well as a new climate control system. You’ve also got controls for the power antenna here.

Engine

This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster comes with a 5.6L V8 that was reportedly rated to make 227hp and 287lb-ft. The car is rear-wheel drive, with a Mercedes-Benz 4G-TRONIC 4-speed automatic gearbox that was rebuilt too. We’re told that this car has also got new brakes, new tires, new bulbs, new filters, a new stereo system, a new wood shift knob, new keys, and an included battery tender.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG P31 comes from an era when AMG was still willing to put a huge naturally aspirated V8 into a compact luxury sedan, and that formula is exactly why the W204 C 63 has become such an enthusiast favorite. This example goes a step further with the desirable P31 AMG Development Package, which brings increased output, a 174-mph top-speed limiter, a carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler, and red-painted brake calipers. Finished in Palladium Silver Metallic over Black leather, it also carries a limited-slip differential, Multimedia Package, Lane Tracking Package, and KEYLESS-GO. Showing approximately 115,211 miles, this is the kind of C 63 that appeals to buyers who want the old-school AMG experience: big-displacement V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis with plenty of attitude.
