This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was purchased by the seller in July 2003, and it now has 41k miles. It is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over black Nappa leather and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include a removable hardtop, a black soft top, 17″ aftermarket alloy wheels, xenon headlights, fog lights, power-adjustable seats, a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, and automatic climate control. This R129 is now offered with the owner’s manual, service invoices, a car cover, a hardtop stand, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features a matching removable hardtop as well as a black soft top. Additional exterior equipment includes xenon headlights, fog lights, and fender air vents. The seller states that during their ownership the car has been stored in a garage and kept under cover. A stand for the hardtop is included in the sale.
Aftermarket 17″ six-spoke wheels show signs of curb rash, and they are mounted with 245/45 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.
The power-adjustable seats are upholstered in black Nappa leather, and burl wood accents the doors and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, seat position memory, a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, a heated rear hardtop window, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The air conditioning works intermittently and the hardtop headliner is peeling.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel shows signs of wear, and it fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 41k miles, approximately 14k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. The radiator was replaced in June 2017.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.
