In need of sudden funds, I have to sell my 1998 Mercedes Benz SL500 Roadster. This is really fun car with gorgeous looks inside & out, with speed & handling to match it’s sporty appearance. The car has been thoroughly maintained throughout it’s life, and is very well cared for. The odometer only has 89k on the clock, and all suggested serviced have been performed along the way. The black leather interior is in amazingly good shape, and all the carpet 100% clean – no stains, rips, tears, cracks, burn marks – nothing. The paint & body are in wonderful condition, all wheels are straight, with no bends or damage – the tires are still perfectly good, and a recent alignment has kept the car driving as straight as an arrow. The car is equipped with electronic/automatic EVERYTHING, windows, locks, seats, AC, radio, rear defroster, as well as both the soft top & hard top. The tops are both in perfect condition, and the up & down functions for them work flawlessly. The hardtop has sat in storage for a majority of it’s life, but is now currently installed on the vehicle. Everything is in working condition on the vehicle, and there are no mechanical or aesthetic issues/problems. I’ve taken a ton of pictures of the vehicle, both inside & out, trying to show every detail possible, as well as all the storage compartments and angles of the interior. You can see all the photos of the car here, all of which are available in full resolution/hi-res: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crabrangoon/sets/72157622733518404/ If you would like to see the car in person, or possibly take a test drive, the car has been left at Austin VeeDub (www.austinveedub.com) so it can be seen all week during their business hours. They have the title & title application in hand signed over and ready to go. You can contact them by e-mail (randy @ austinveedub dot com) or phone (512-385-2462 – ask for Randy). Serious buyers only, please – no tire kickers or joy rides, the keys won’t simply be handed to just anyone. Not interested in taking trades, only looking to sell outright. The vehicle is priced VERY fairly, and is couple thousand dollars lower than any of the competing SL500’s for sale (97-99 models on all Craigslist listings throughout the state & neighboring AutoTrader listings). Car is currently generating a lot of interest, but no holds until a firm deposit is left on the car. If you’re still seeing this ad, the car is still available – I’m very prompt about removing my listings once something has sold. You can find more information out about SL500’s at the following link, it’s very helpful & informative: http://www.kenrockwell.com/sl/index.htm
