This 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600 has remained registered in Illinois from new through the seller’s purchase in 2012, and it now has 62k miles. The car is finished in Imperial Red over two-tone beige leather upholstery and is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a black soft top, 17″ split-spoke wheels, xenon headlights, fog lights, heated power-adjustable seats, a cassette stereo, a remote six-disc CD changer, and automatic climate control. This R129 is offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Illinois title in the name of the seller’s company.
The car is finished in Imperial Red (582) and features a black soft top that is said to have been replaced in 2023.
