About this 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500

VIN: WDBFA67F5WF157628

For sale is a one owner, non-smoker, Sl500 with extremely low original miles (13,676) with an original perfect condition soft top and the hard to find, rare Paorama tinted glass hardtop, with working sun shade, and two sets of wheels, the original 16" wheels with excellent Toyo tires and the other set the 1998 AMG staggered Monoblock 18" wheels(as new Conti tires) that have been professionally refinished. The classic code 744 silver paint is excellent, no dings or dents and the car has had no paint work. Clean Car Fax, owner. A set of hydraulic cylinders comes with the car for if an when they are needed. The original soft top with its original clear works perfectly. The original hardtop is also included. The gray leather interior is perfect as is the wood. The 315HP engine runs like it should and the transmission shifts flawlessly. All instruments and other mechanical features are operable and the air blows cold. It has the original radio and trunk cd player. All services records, original window sticker, tool kit, manuals two sets of master keys plus the other keys, wind deflector, original plus aftermarket floor mats are included. I have looked at all of the major car sales sites and I did not see one in this condition with the extra set of Monoblock wheels and the Panorama hardtop, both of which could be separately sold. As is obvious from the condition of this car it has been well taken care of and has spent 90+% of its life under a car cover in the garage. Age issues of the owner is the reason for selling it.
