FOR SALE:

1995 MERCEDES BENZ SL600

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING:

UPDATE 12/11/23. CAR IS A SMALL PROJECT TO FINISH. RUNS, DRIVES, STARTS RIGHT UP, IDLES WELL. CAR SAT FOR LAST 11 YEARS MOSTLY AND I THINK THE LAST OWNER, REALLY COULDN'T AFFORD THE CAR. SO THE CAR SAT. I'VE GOTTEN THE CAR GOING, HAD SOME MAINTENANCE DONE TO IT, PUT A LOT OF MY OWN WORK INTO THE CAR, TO MAKE THE CAR BETTER. I CONTINUE TO DO THAT, UNTIL NEXT BUYER BUYS CAR.

I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THIS CAR FOR WHAT IT IS TODAY AND WHAT MY PLAN WAS.

 I DISCONNECTED AND REMOVED THE WORKING AFTERMARKET RADIO. THE RADIO SEEMS TO BE DRAWING THE BATTERY DOWN SOMEHOW. SO I REMOVED IT. I WOULD RECOMMEND BECKER MB REPRODUCTION STOCK RADIO, WHICH IS UPGRADED WITH BLUETOOTH, AND WILL CONNECT TO 6 DISC CD CHANGE IN TRUNK. GO BACK TO STOCK STYLE. I'VE LEARNED QUICKLY THAT AFTERMARKET ITEMS DO NOT WORK AS WELL AS OEM OR NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
BRAND NEW FRONT WINDSHIELD IS BEING INSTALLED. PURCHASED CAR WITH CRACK IN FRONT WINDSHIELD. GETTING NEW FRONT WINDSHIELD FOR CAR.

AC BLOWS COLD AND WORKS WELL. ALL BUTTONS IN INTERIOR WORK, EXCEPT DRIVERS WINDOW, AND LIGHTS UNDER REARVIEW MIRROR. I BELIEVE THOSE JUST NEED NEW BULBS. 

NOTE: WHEN YOU LOOK AT ENGINE PICTURES AND YOU LOOK UNDER HOOD, THAT IS NOT RUST. I GUESS AT SOME POINT THE ENGINE HOOD PAD(INSULATION), WAS REMOVED, AND I GUESS ALL OF IT WASN'T REMOVED. I WAS ABLE TO LITERALLY SCRAPE OFF WITH MY FINGER. JUST NEEDS NEW HOOD PAD INSTALLED.

SEE UPDATED PHOTOS. AFTER FIRST WASH. I PLAN TO COMPOUND/WAX THE CAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND WILL UPLOAD THOSE PHOTOS, WHEN DONE. ALL GOING TO SHAMPOO CARPETS & DETAIL THE INTERIOR. CAR WILL LOOK GREAT WHEN I'M DONE.

FOUND SO MUCH COOL ORIGINAL ITEMS WITH CAR:

1. ORIGINAL TOOL KIT.
2. MERCEDES BENZ ORIGINAL 6 DISC CD PLAYER IN TRUNK.
3. CELL PHONE IN DASH.
4. WINDSCREEN IN TRUNK.
5. ALL ORIGINAL MANUALS & BOOKS. WITH 3RD OWNER REGISTRATION & INSURANCE ID CARD FROM GEORGIA.

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE CAR. MB SL600 WERE BUILT FROM 1993-2002. TOTAL PRODUCTION WAS 11,086. IN 1995 TOTAL PRODUCTION WAS 1,112. 1995 TOURMALINE GREEN METALLIC(269U), I WOULD SAY NO MORE THAN 10%, LESS THAN 100, WERE PRODUCED IN THIS COLOR. THEN ADD THE CAR WAS UPGRADED BY 2ND OWNER WITH "AMG AERO III" 17' WHEELS. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY RARE AND EXPENSIVE OPTION IN 1995. REMANUFACTURED ON EBAY COSTS $6,500 CURRENTLY. REAL DEAL AMG WOULD ASSUME WOULD BE MUCH MORE. WHICH IS WHY THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY RARE COMBINATION. 

I PURCHASED THIS CAR END OF AUGUST 2023. I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS A PROJECT CAR AND PLANNED TO MAKE THE CAR PERFECT. I HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT I'M LOOKING AT, WHICH IS ONLY REASON I'M SELLING.

*TO BE CLEAR, NOW THAT IVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, SINCE I PICKED CAR UP FROM MECHANIC. CAR STARTS, STOPS, RUNS/DRIVES, TURNS WELL. THE CAR HAS AN ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN FRONT END SHAKE. NOTHING TO DO WITH ENGINE. CAR NEEDS AN ALIGNMENT & TIRE BALANCE. COULD BE THAT. STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE WITH FRONT END. MAYBE LOOSE MOTOR MOUNT. IM NOT MECHANICAL. BUT I KNOW THIS IS MINOR AND NOTHING TO DO WITH MOTOR PERFORMANCE, DRIVE ABILITY*

WHAT MY PLAN WAS(TO MAKE CAR PERFECT):

-MECHANICAL  TO DO:
-REFINISH AMG AERO III WHEELS. NOT COMPLETED. $1,300-$1,500 TO HAVE THIS DONE.
-PASSENGER SEAT RE-COVERED. NOT COMPLETED.
-HAVE CAR COMPLETELY DETAILED INSIDE & OUTSIDE.
-REPLACE AFTERMARKET RADIO CAR CAME WITH AND INSTALL REPRODUCTION STOCK RADIO WITH BLUETOOTH. WHICH IS THE CORRECT RADIO THE CAR SHOULD HAVE. GIVES STOCK/OEM LOOK, WITH MODERN UPGRADE. I WILL PROVIDE THE BUYER WITH THE LINK TO PURCHASE THE RADIO.
-HEADLINER SAGS A BIT. REATTACH.
-DRIVERS POWER WINDOW DOESN'T WORK. REPLACE MOTOR OR REGULATOR SWITCH. SWITCH MAKES CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU PRESS SWITCH.
-REAR OF CAR IS SLIGHTLY BOUNCY. I BELIEVE NEEDS REAR SHOCKS.
-NEEDS ALIGNMENT.
-FRONT END WILL SHAKE ON FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS.
-FUEL PUMP & FILTER RECENTLY REPLACED. I THINK IT'S AN AFTERMARKET FUEL PUMP. ITS A LITTLE NOISY. YOU COULD REPLACE BACK TO OEM.
-HEAT SHIELD COVER ONLY IS RUSTED. EXHAUST IS FINE. YOU COULD REPLACE HEAT SHIELD.

*I HAVE VIDEO OF CAR ON LIFT. CHASSIS REVIEW. NO RUST, NO LEAKS, FLOOR BOARDS SOLID. TRANSMISSION IS NEWER, POSSIBLY REPLACED OR REBUILT. BUT CLEAN, NO LEAKS. DIFFERNTIAL IS CLEAN, NO LEAKS. TIRES ARE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. CAN MESSAGE VIDEO TO POTENTIAL BUYER*

*NOTHING ELSE IS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS CAR, WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER, PERFECT OR AS CLOSE TO PERFECT, AS CAN BE*

WHAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED:

MECHANICAL:

-When I purchased, I had the car flatbed directly to my mechanic.
-The car was sitting on front bumper cover. The front hydraulic suspension had the front end of car down. My mechanic removed & replaced ride height sensor links. You will see first 2 photos, how the car sits now. Perfect ride height. Bumper cover was put back in place. Issue fixed.
-The prior owner put the cheapest battery in the car, to get it running only. When you look at video, the video is from prior owner. You can see the ABS, hydraulic light indicators were on. My mechanic installed an OEM Mercedes battery. Which is correct battery for car. All dash lights are off.
-Left intake had a crack in it. New intake was installed..
-Exterior antenna seal was missing. New antenna seal was installed.
-New cabin air filter installed.
-Brand new front windshield is being installed.

*I spent $900 on these repairs and receipt will be included with sale.*

*MOTOR IS STRONG. CAR DRIVES & RUNS WELL. SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. IF I WAS BUYING THIS CAR, I WOULD TAKE THE CAR DIRECTLY TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, HAVE HIM GO THROUGH THE CAR, SEE WHAT IT NEEDS* MY MECHANIC DID WORK I LISTED, I ASKED HIM TO GO THROUGH THE CAR COMPLETELY, AND HE DIDN'T GET TO IT. MECHANIC CAN TELL YOU MINOR ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED:

-SOFT TOP HYDRAULICS NEED TO BE REBUILT. THE COMPUTER AND SWITCHES WORK. TO REBUILD SOFT TOP HYDRAULICS & CENTER BLOCK & ROLL BAR HYDRAULIC COSTS APPROXIMATELY $3,500-$4,000. TOP WORKS MANUALLY JUST FINE, WITH NO ISSUE. I'M SELLING CAR "AS IS" AND IF I GET THE TOP FIXED, THE PRICE WILL GO UP.
-INTERIOR PASSENGER SEAT NEEDS TO BE RECOVERED. IF FIXED, PRICE WOULD GO UP.
-FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACK NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. IF FIXED, PRICE WOULD GO UP.
-AMG AERO III 17' THREE PIECE WHEELS. IF YOU WANT THEM PERFECT, YOU CAN GET THEM REFINISHED. THE RIMS HAVE NO ISSUES WITH CRACKS, BENDS, ETC. RIMS ARE FINE. I HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED TO CLEAN THEM UP. CAR WENT STRAIGHT TO MECHANIC, WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, AND CAR IS THERE CURRENTLY. I HAVEN'T CLEANED/DETAILED THE CAR. STARTED WITH MECHANICAL. PRICE WOULD GO UP, IF REFINISHED.

STANDARD, OPTIONS, & INCLUDED INFO:

-HARD TOP.
-CAR FAX & GOOD CAR REPORTS INCLUDED. BOTH REPORTS SHOW 3 PRIOR OWNERS. 10 SERVICE RECORDS. ONLY CAR FAX REPORT SHOWS 2 ACCIDENTS. BUT WHEN YOU CLICK ON ACCIDENTS, NOTHING COMES UP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MISTAKE TO ME. CAR GAPS ARE GOOD, NO WAVES ON EITHER SIDE OF PAINT. CAR IS STRAIGHT.
-LASTVIN.COM REPORT INCLUDED. THIS PROVIDES RELEASE, BUILD, DELIVER DATES. PROVIDES PAINT CODE, INTERIOR CODE, AND ALL OPTIONS. THIS IS THE BUILD SHEET OF THE CAR.

*I'M SURE I'M MISSING INFO, SO YOU CAN ASK ANY BUYER QUESTIONS, AND WILL RESPOND*

*I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT A REAL BUYER WOULD HAVE.* DO NOT WASTE MY TIME!

*I WILL NOT ANSWER "IS THIS STILL AVAILABLE". DO NOT WASTE MY TIME, DO NOT TRY TO SCAM, OR ANY BS. I WILL IGNORE AND BLOCK YOU*

I KNOW WHAT I HAVE AND I KNOW WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH, CURRENT & COMPLETED. WITH COLOR AND OPTIONAL AMG AERO III WHEELS, THIS IS A VERY RARE COMBINATION. I'M WILLING TO NEGOTIATE SLIGHTLY AND FAIRLY, BASED ON A REAL CASH BUYER. SO AGAIN, DO NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH LOW BALL OFFERS. I WILL IGNORE YOU.

THIS CAR RUNS WELL, NEEDS A LITTLE, TO BE A GREAT, NEAR PERFECT CAR.
