1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600

This 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600 is a U.S.-market example finished in Bright Red over Beige/Tan leather and powered by a 6.0-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.

The car shows 114,000 miles and is offered with a clean title, recent service records, and original factory equipment.
The car has been well maintained during my ownership, with a focus on mechanical reliability rather than cosmetic shortcuts.

Recent work includes suspension components, brake rotors, and cooling system service, making this SL600 a strong driver that needs nothing at present.

Equipment & Features
• 6.0L M120 V12 (389 hp, 420 lb-ft torque)

• 18" factory wheels
• Adaptive damping suspension
• Power seats with memory

Recent Maintenance & Service Highlights
Recent work performed within my ownership includes:
• Replacement of multiple suspension components
• Brake rotors replaced
• Water pump replaced
• Adaptive suspension serviced
• Headliner replaced
• Ongoing routine maintenance performed on schedule

The V12 starts easily, idles smoothly, and pulls strongly through the rev range. The transmission shifts smoothly, and the car tracks straight at highway speeds.

Condition
• The exterior presents very well for its age, with consistent paint and good panel fit
• Interior leather, trim, and carpets are in good condition with light wear consistent with mileage
• The engine bay is clean and shows evidence of regular care
• The car is mechanically sorted and drives as intended

This SL600 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a properly maintained R129 V12, a model known for its build quality, refinement, and flagship engineering. With recent mechanical investment already completed, this example is well positioned for continued enjoyment without the immediate maintenance concerns often associated with high-end V12 ownership.
