Product Details

1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500, finished in Magma Red with a body-colored hardtop, a black soft top, and a Saffron interior. This roadster's odometer displays about 57,300 miles. Factory equipment includes 17-inch wheels, headlight wipers, fog lights, wood interior trim, leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, and cruise control, according to a build sheet pictured in the gallery. The selling dealer reports no modifications.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.
