This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was first registered in New York and later spent time in Idaho and Utah before being recently acquired by the selling dealer with 28k miles. It is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Ash Nappa leather upholstery and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a removable hardtop, a black soft top, 17″ Albali wheels, fog lights, power-adjustable seats with memory, a cassette stereo, a Bose sound system, a remote six-disc CD changer, a wind deflector, and automatic climate control. Recent work has included replacing the rear main seal and catalytic converter. This R129 is now offered in California by the selling dealer at no reserve with the owner’s manual, records, a car cover, a hardtop stand, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Utah title.
The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features a matching removable hardtop as well as a black convertible soft top. Additional exterior equipment includes headlight washers, fog lights, fender air vents, and a power antenna. The front bumper cover was previously resprayed and now shows blemishes on the lower lip.
The 17″ Albali wheels are mounted with 245/45 Bridgestone Potenza tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and the car was factory equipped with an Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
The power-adjustable seats are upholstered in Ash Nappa leather, and burl wood accents the doors and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, seat position memory, a cassette stereo, a Bose sound system, a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer, a heated rear hardtop window, a wind deflector, cruise control, and automatic climate control. Wear is shown on the driver’s seat outer bolster.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel 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 28k miles.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, which is routed to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. Noted service has included replacing the rear main seal in 2023 as well as replacing the catalytic converter and performing an oil change in preparation for the sale.
A hardtop stand and car cover are included in the sale along with records.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
