Since 1954, the SL has set the standard for cruising across hundreds of miles in supreme comfort, with ample power always on tap. This 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL500 comes from the R129 generation of 1989-2002. With 34,300 miles on the odometer, you can tell that this car has been enjoyed, but somewhat lightly. That's great because you get to enjoy it even more.
Exterior and Interior
Sporting the timeless looks that Bruno Sacco popularized across the Mercedes-Benz range, this 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is an evergreen classic. Wearing a dark blue metallic paint coat, it's got a matching removable hard top too. The hard top plus its stand are included in the sale. When you're out and about with the hard top at home, don't despair, though. There's also a dark blue soft top that's power-operated. The current owner tells us that the hydraulics for this has recently been replaced, so you can expect flawless operation. Alloy wheels, fog lamps, a wind deflector, and a power roll bar are some of the other exterior highlights of this car. Finally, just take a few moments to appreciate the era when headlamps had their own special wipers to keep them clean. Inside, there's a beige interior with two power-adjustable seats. Behind the seats lies a padded luggage area to further augment the trunk's carrying capacity. You'll also find a matching spare wheel in the trunk. Back to the cabin, you've got plenty of great amenities and creature comforts at your fingertips. There's an automatic climate control system, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, and cruise control. Then, there's the original Mercedes-Benz radio with a cassette player, plus a CD changer in the trunk. The speaker system is by Bose and sounds fitting for a top-tier Mercedes-Benz car. If the weather turns chilly, just activate the seat heaters, and you'll be nice and toasty.
