This 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL600 was purchased new by the seller’s late father, and it has 59k miles following registration history in Colorado. Finished in black over black and gray leather, the car is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a removable hardtop, a black soft top, 17″ six-spoke wheels, xenon headlights, fog lights, heated power-adjustable seats, a Bose sound system, and automatic climate control. This R129 is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, service records, a tool kit, a first-aid kit, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in black (040) 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 convertible soft top is said to have been replaced. The Carfax report lists damage to both sides in a January 2018 entry. The front bumper cover was replaced in January 2018. Photos in the gallery detail a tear on the soft top’s rear window as well as finish imperfections on the body.
The 17″ six-spoke wheels are mounted with Continental ControlContact Sport SRS+ tires, which show date codes from 2015 and 2022. The car was factory equipped with a self-leveling suspension with an Adaptive Damping System (ADS). Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The brake fluid was changed in June 2024.
The heated power-adjustable seats are upholstered in black and gray leather, and the cabin features burl wood accents on the doors and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, seat position memory, a cassette stereo, a Bose sound system, a heated rear hardtop window, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
The wood- and leather-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 59k miles, approximately 28k of which were added under current ownership.
The 6.0-liter M120 V12 was factory rated at 389 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The ignition coils and spark plugs were reportedly replaced in September 2020, and the oil was changed in June 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The differential fluid was changed and the transmission mount was replaced in June 2022.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned damage.
