1988 560 SL 26,500 miles

Description for Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 1988

Beautiful original classic mercedes benz 560 SL purchased new by civil rights attorney in New Jersey for his wife in a rare and hard to find color. Two years later when mercedes changed the body style and added more creature comforts he then purchased the new model in the same color and this one sat in the garage. We acquired this a few years ago from the estate, but we are running out of room and not driving it enough. It is time time to time for this fine automobile to go to a new home. Vehicle has been garage kept. Tires have been replaced and chrome original factory wheels added. The original factory windshield wiper blade was replaced for good measure, but the factory original remains with the car in the trunk. Removable hard top is included and the original factory cloth top is in great shape. One battery box strap needs to be replaced.There are a few minor scratches on the rear deck from the prior owner taking the hard top off and on, but nothing major. It is beautiful, but of course not perfect. There are a few minor dings and scratches that you might expect after 3 decades. Drives and handles wonderfully with smooth powerful acceleration and tight responsive steering. The car is very low miles and in excellent shape for more than 30 years old. As expected there are no warranty's or guarantees. Buyer may inspect in person. Its a beauty. Shipping arranged and paid for by buyer.
