1989 Model Year Mercedes Benz 560SL Roadster for sale by original owner
"The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, the envy of all the prestige-car makers," is how Car And Driver referred to the SL series — and we wholeheartedly agree. Its roots run back to racing, with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the first car to don the SL tag. As the market for personal luxury cars was booming, Mercedes offered privileged performance car enthusiasts the road-going version of their racing car, paving the way for the formidable Mercedes-Benz SL-Class series. If you're after sheer class from the 1980s, very few can rival what the 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster can offer. The even greater news is the fact that this specimen is for sale by its original owner, a tell-tale sign that this car received a lot of love over the decades. Originally purchased from Mercedes Indianapolis, it has just under 16,000 original miles reported on the clock and currently resides in Indiana.
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster is painted in an elegant hue of Metallic Blue Black and topped off with a black convertible top. If you prefer a more rigid roof over your head, not to worry, the hardtop with hardtop carrier is included in the sale of this car. It proudly bears the large three-point star on the front grille and the boot lid. Four round sealed-beam headlamps occupy either side of the grille while the bumper houses four fog lights. You also get a Mercedes car cover to protect it from the elements or keep dust at bay. Moving on to the interior of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster, it is trimmed in gray and provides seating for two adults. It is furnished with Mercedes-Benz carpets and features lit mirrors on each sun visor. Everything except the clock is functional in this well-preserved original interior, and the original first aid kit is included in the sale.
Popping the hood of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster reveals its 5.6L V8 engine and, on top of that (quite literally), is the recently replaced hood insulation. This powertrain was capable of churning out 227HP out of the factory and sends it via a 4-speed automatic transmission. The owner has also noted that the engine's gaskets have recently been replaced.
The R107 series of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is one of the best contemporary classic cars to get your hands on. Made between 1971 and 1989, many changes were made to this evergreen grand tourer from Germany’s most popular luxury automaker. So, if you’d like to get your hands on a R107, try this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL as your next (or first) classic car. It’s from the last year of R107 production and has covered merely 41,907 miles so far. The current owner also tells us that the car has received a recent oil change.
If you want to own a practical and regularly usable German classic, an example of the R107 series Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a great choice. Produced from 1971 to 1989, later models of the series were much upgraded and updated over the earlier ones. Plus, with their legendary Mercedes-Benz build quality and reliability from the period, there’s little reason to fear a well-maintained example. This 81,476-mile 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Spring Hill, Florida is one prime example. It’s said to be an all-stock car, save for its aftermarket five-double spoke alloy wheels which are from Mercedes-Benz anyways, so you’re still in the family. Let’s find out a bit more about this car.
If you want a classic but relatively modern grand tourer that’s luxurious, comes with a V8, and is quintessentially Germanic, the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL series ticks all the boxes. Produced between 1971 and 1989, over 300,000 were made and sold all over the world. North Americans loved these cars, especially the rich and famous. It wasn’t uncommon to see a celebrity driving around in one of these during the ’70s and ’80s. Today, you can get yourself a slice of R107 action with this lovely 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Convertible that’s available from our inventory. The car has an original 19,000 miles on the clock and is reportedly an all-original car.
One of the smartest classic cars to own and drive on a regular basis has got to be a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 generation of 1971 to 1989. These cars were Hollywood darlings when they were new, and over 300,000 were sold worldwide. It’s estimated that 68% of these ended up in the United States, as official or gray market imports. That’s why getting your hands on one isn’t that hard. This Florida-based 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is one great example. The car has got 86,100 miles under its belt, and has received some new components to keep it driving as sweetly as it did back when it was new.
For decades, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has represented the entry point into Mercedes-Benz ownership, as the prolific German luxury automaker’s compact luxury car offering. Over the years, the C-Class has grown, both in terms of sheer size, as well as luxury features and of course, performance. AMG got their mitts on the C-Class as well, resulting in some super-saloons that can really take everyone else by surprise. This W205-generation 2019 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is one of those super-saloons that’s been fettled by AMG. With just under 30,000 miles to its name, this Florida-based car is reportedly all stock and comes with up-to-date servicing. If you’re in search of a fast family hauler, here’s the ideal candidate.
One of the most legendary members of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineage is the W124 generation. This generation came about in 1984, and was made until 1995 as a sedan. Other variants carried on until as late as 1997. The W124 is widely considered to be one of the most solidly-engineered Mercedes-Benz models; it’s not uncommon to see them being used as taxis in some African countries to this day, braving elements such as desert sand, scorching temperatures and of course, limited availability of spare parts. We did get the W124 in the United States as well, and today, we’ve got a nice 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300D from Virginia for sale. This car has got 131,410 miles on the odometer, but that’s a mere stroll for a W124. You really should buy it because it’s a car that will become a classic very soon; yet is modern enough to drive around regularly. The car is said to be all-stock and has received a recent service.
