1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Base Convertible 2-Door 3.2L
1995 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Base Convertible 2-Door Description
I have a 1995 SL320 that I am ready to sell.
It's two tone black and dark silver or gray on the lower part of body.
It has all the typical stuff you expect from a Mercedes. Power everything, heated leather seats, Bose sound system, etc...
I have just completed overhauling the hydraulic cylinders that make the top go up an down. (They all leak eventually and need new seals) it has a black soft top that has some rips to be repaired too. Also has has black hardtop that is currently on the car.
Engine has just over 100k on it which is nothing for a Mercedes. I bought it 11 or 12 years ago and it had 70k. So I only put 35k on since I've had it.
In the last year I put new tires on it, engine air filter and cabin air filter, new battery, new hood pad, new fuel pump and filter, re-did the timing chain seals, water pump seal and valve cover seal.
The most major thing I did this summer was replace the entire engine wiring harness. Watch out if you buy one of these and the wiring is original! Mercedes used biodegradable wiring back in the 90's. It basically disintegrates and it is expensive to replace. (And they ALL need replacing eventually) If not replaced, major elecrical and computer problems can arise and/or fire is possible. Mercedes gets close to $1000 just for the wires. Never mind who knows what to install. $$$$
I also replaced the camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor and starter wiring harness. Seriously, don't buy one of these Mercedes if the wiring hasn't been replaced.Plus more which I can't even remember now.
I have another vehicle that I want to restore so I need to sell my SL to make room in the garage. (Wife not so happy with this. She likes driving the SL on nice days too)
Overall it's a decent little car, no rust or body damage. It's certainly not perfect, has a few minor scratches and dings here and there (no dents or accidents though) and a rip in the drivers side seat bolster from getting in and out (they all do) but overall still pretty nice. It is a fun, good strong running car. No check engine lights. Starts right up every time.
(Originally went for over $75,000 back in the '90's when it was new)
I am only looking to get about $6000 for it.
Good luck.
