1999 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Convertable Description

The car is a legendary car in Red with Black leather interior, which is in exceptional condition. This is a collectors' car but one that you can also drive freely / daily and that has more power than one might think, due to 347 ft/lbs of torque and 315 hp. It handles great and cruises comfortably all day at 80 mph plus, and with that torque a quick press on the gas and the car quickly pulls away from the flow of traffic. This torque is what gives the surge of power even at high speed.
It is in exceptional and remarkable condition:
It has 53,300 miles on the clock (that is 3100 miles per year!)
I am the 3nd owner and have had the car since 2015, It has been my daily driver ever since and absolutely reliable car. It has always been garaged and carefully maintained. Most of the servicing was done by my mechanic in Glendale.
What I can tell you on condition - I will give as many details as I can:
On the good side. . .
Fluids have always been changed at correct intervals, it has always been run on synthetic motor oil without exception, a transmission servicing, fluid and filter change has just been done.
Rotors and brakes were replaced about 5,000 miles ago
All hydraulic cylinders for the convertible roof have been recently replaced and the system was reconditioned.All electronics work. Sony in dash player with original BOSE sound system.
Tires are about 60%
Soft top is in excellent condition and the window is clear with no signed of fade or clouding. Hard top is in perfect condition
Engine bay is very clean and almost spotless.
Engine sounds very tight and clear of unusual sounds, ditto for the transmission - no whining or rough shifting.
The car handles incredibly and sticks to the road, the suspension is firm and what you would expect from the sport enhancements of this car.
No oil leaks.
What is wrong. . .
-There is a scuff on the front right bumper cover, small dent on trunk lid.
