1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL - 79K Miles, Adult Owned, Clean Autocheck!

1988 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL Description

The 560SL was the culmination in the United States of what Mercedes-Benz internally referred to as the R107 chassis, a model run that lasted for 18 years, beginning in 1972 with the US introduction of the 350SL. 1988/89 models distinguished by slim 3rd tail light at rear edge of trunk. While European SL buyers had access to a wide array of engine, transmission, and option configurations, Mercedes-Benz decreed that from 1972 forward (until 1990), all SLs destined for North America would carry V-8 engines coupled with automatic transmissions. Reflecting the preferences of the upscale North American SL buyer, US cars were delivered with a high level of equipment and very few options. Standard equipment included driver's side airbag and ABS brakes. Interior improvements for the 560SL included lovely burlwood accents, improved lateral seatback support, and a power passenger side mirror. The steering wheel, however, was still fixed and seat adjustments were still carried out manually. It comes with a 5.6L V-8 that puts out 227hp/279 ft/lb

In the 560SL, Mercedes got it all just right, offering essentially bullet-proof reliability, satisfying power, and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that Mercedes learned about the V-8 R107 chassis cars into a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived."

This 560SL in particular was adult owned, originally from Florida, and summer driven for the approx the last 5 years. It has 79K miles and includes such features as euro headlights, rear back seat option, and new Pioneer radio. Recent service work includes new front leather seat covers, new fuel pump, steering coupler, shift bushings, window switches, and has been converted to R134A A/C. It has one of the BEST color combinations of a Signal Red (568) exterior with a Palamino (274) leather interior, clean Autocheck, and includes the hardtop.
