1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

Description

It's hard to believe but true. This classic 1989 Mercedes 560SL is in the perfect color combination, and yet you can take it home for less than $15K.

The 560SL is highly desirable because it's the full wish list in one car. These are elegant, powerful, comfortable, timeless, and nimble classics. The now legendary R107 model cars are iconic because they represent an era when very few companies could build a convertible without worrying about safety regulations. Mercedes built their cars so robustly that the R107 exceeded these standards, and they did it elegantly without an unsightly roll bar. It was the go-to driver for celebrities, dignitaries, and the wealthy because the sleek lines hid a full size interior and usable trunk that was perfect for any road trip. The Crimson Red paint with new tan top is still in vogue today, which means pulling up in this Mercedes is an elegant announcement of your timeless sense of style.

Tan perforated MB-Tex bucket seats, real wood trim, and a large full gauge packages perfectly blends luxury and performance in one interior. The 560SL was one of the most expensive cars Mercedes offered during its reign, and so the features list is quite long. This includes desirable conveniences such as air conditioning (running modern R-134a), power windows, power locks, power steering, Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cruise control. Because this was built 1989, there are also more modern features than most R107s, such as a third brake light and a driver's air bag. If you don't know how to properly stow the soft top under the matching boot, don't worry because this SL comes with the original owner's manual that tells you everything you need to know about this new age classic.

The 560SL came with a big 5.6-liter V8 motor making 238 hp and 287 lb-ft of torque – more than its contemporary Rolls-Royces. On the road, an R107 has a chassis that is the perfect balance of elastic comfort in a tight-handling package. This was topped of with four-wheel disc brakes for the best all-around control. This one even comes with premium Michelin tires on the shiny 15" factory wheels. In total, the Mercedes SL is in a class all of its own. It has always been hard to define its competitors because no other car combines grand touring comfort in a quick and nimble machine so perfectly.

It's hard not to get excited about complete timeless elegance for less than the price any new convertible out there. But you're not the only one who sees this so it won't last long in our showroom. Call today!!!
