Product Details

1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500, finished in Amber Red Metallic with a black soft top, a body-colored hardtop, and a Helios interior. This convertible's odometer displays about 52,500 miles. Factory equipment includes 17-inch wheels, xenon headlights, a power-operated soft top, wood interior trim, heated and power-adjustable seats with a memory function, a wind deflector, air conditioning, and cruise control. This car's build sheet is shown in the gallery, and the only modifications reported by the seller are aftermarket upholstery on part of the driver's seat and a hardwired radar detector.Mercedes-Benz sold the "R129"-generation SL from 1990 to 2002, and several visual cues (like the shape of the vents behind the front wheels and the rear lights) identify this SL500 as one of the later models built. It's quicker and sportier to drive than its predecessor, the long-lived "R107" model released for the 1972 model year, yet it's far simpler than the "R230" roadster introduced in 2003.Power comes from a 5.0-liter V8, rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Called "M113" internally, it spins the rear wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission.
