At a Glance: 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL (R107)
The final year of the R107 generation, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a black over grey example with 90,289 miles at the time of listing. An extensive refresh was completed by the previous owner throughout 2016; this included installing a new soft top, replacing worn suspension components, and performing a full brake system refresh. The interior and 5.5-liter V8 received reconditioning as well, the details of which are listed below. This R107 560SL is now being offered from the Exotic Car Trader inventory with a clean title and a clean Carfax.
During the refresh in 2016, new 15” Sumitomo HTR Enhance grand touring all-season tires were installed and an alignment was performed. New door seals were installed, and the front spoiler was replaced with a new OEM piece painted to match. The original R107 wheels show little to no wear. The car’s paint retains a high degree of luster and is free of any major defects or damage, including the matching hardtop. No rust is noted anywhere. Inside the cabin, this 1988 Mercedes 560SL remains in nearly new condition with minimal wear throughout. 2016 saw a new soft top, full reconditioning for the leather seats and dashboard, and reconditioned and replaced door panels and wood trim. All equipment and instruments are noted to be in good working order. The odometer displays 90,289 miles at the time of listing.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 engine producing 227 horsepower, enough to propel the German to a top speed of around 140 MPH. As part of the major refresh in 2016, the brake system received a new master cylinder, rotors, pads, calipers, hoses, and a full system flush. The suspension saw new upper control arms and front ball joints, while the driveline received a new battery, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, alternator and belt, and an auxiliary cooling fan. Other repairs and replacements are listed below. With Hagerty noting an uptick in R107 collectability in recent years, this well-maintained example is a solid daily driver that will stand the test of time.

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.
It is often said that life was better in the '80s. Music, clothes, and, of course, cars. This 1987 Mercedes 560SL is a car that could take you through time.

Every once in a blue moon, Mercedes-AMG drops a powerhouse and calls it a Black Series. Rooted in motorsports and built in limited numbers, these models showcase the pinnacle of performance and engineering, bringing race car technology to the road. Today we have one of the best examples, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series. Derived from its DTM (German Touring Car Championship) counterpart, this CLK63 Black Series is instantly recognizable thanks to its flamboyant, yet functional muscular body. The CLK63 AMG was even used as the official safety car in Formula 1 from 2006 to 2007. Only a mere 500 examples were reportedly produced with over 300 models shipped here into the States. Breathing life through its massive 6.2-liter M156 V8 producing up to 500 horsepower, this German beast was and is still loved by many. This particular grey model we have today has hit 35,000 miles on the odometer with servicing kept up to date as reported. With 2 heavy duty battery remote keys with a panic button, this 1 of 1 Magno Alanite Grey CLK63 AMG Black Series is for sale in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Cruising in luxury and style exposes you to a host of choices, but narrow it down, and it's certain that a chilled-out drive experience is best enjoyed behind the wheel of a roadster. Now that you have this narrowed down, its time to pick the right roadster to enhance your drive feel, feeling overwhelmed with the choices available? Worry not, this 2015 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG with a reported 12,150 miles on the clock is the perfect way to liven up your weekend drives in style.
The legendary Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is reportedly the first ever AMG-Mercedes to be designed from the ground up. Featuring revised front suspension that was shared with the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, the C63 AMG was known to have the quickest, most responsive steering of any Mercedes automobile at the time. Boasting a monstrous naturally aspirated 6.3-liter Mercedes-Benz M156 engine, this German beast came out of the factory reportedly producing 451 horsepower with performance packages taking it up to 507. However, this blacked out 2013 model we have here is capable of much more. Equipped with a Gintani Supercharger and Gintani Stage 2 tune, this power figure is expected to be quite a bit of a punch over the factory rated power. This C63 AMG is a force to be reckoned with on the roads. This 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has received consistent maintenance along with a recent service having clocked a total of 52,000 miles on the odometer and is now looking for its new owner in Los Angeles, California.
