1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL500 Description

This is a clean, low mileage R129 SL500. The body and interior are in fantastic shape for this car's age, with only minor wear on the leather seats. This car is also equipped with a Continental bluetooth head unit, so it is iPhone ready. The head unit is unobtrusive and fits with the car's OEM style, unlike many modern bluetooth units.
The car has had nearly $4,000 in restorative maintenance in the past year. That maintenance included full transmission service, replacement of serpentine belt, replacement of driveshaft, brake disc replacement, brake system bleed, and front control arm replacement. Additionally, the AMG wheels were recently fully restored and are without curb rash or other wear.
This is a convertible, and the fully automatic soft top works flawlessly. The hard top is removable, and I will throw in a hard top stand for free with the sale.
The R129 SL is the pinnacle of 1990s luxo-sport performance, and many say 1998 was its finest year, as it was manufactured after Mercedes had worked out all the model's kinks, but before Mercedes was bought by Chrysler and experienced a downturn in quality.
