1988 Mercedes Benz 560SL
My father owned this before moving back to Europe. Car is now titled in my name, spent it's entire life in the Southwest. My dad drove it my house in PA a few months ago where it's now been detailed and is garaged at my home. It is not being driven. Oil was changed when the car came to PA.
Mercedes Benz 560 SL year 1988, presents an unusual buying opportunity for somebody who appreciate quality as well as the beauty.
The present owner bought the car from the first owner with all service records. The car was originally sold and maintained by prestigious Schumacher Benz dealer in Scottsdale, AZ.
The car spent all its life in AZ, never has seen snow, few times rain, there is no spec of rust or any paint imperfections; car was never repainted.
The mileage is original, the odometer just turned over 83,000.
The original top was used very seldom so, if there is any age related flows the price of the car will be adjusted. New top is about $1,300
The dashboard, seats, door panels are like new, no cracks or deterioration.
The car starts, runs, drives, breaks just the way it should, smooth and quiet.
The only blemish on the car is the metal behind the drivers side wheel was damaged when the rear tire blew and the tread separated from the tire, hitting that metal panel and bending it under the car. This is shown in the picture.
Pics are here:

The only parts replaced were the both fuel pumps and tires.
Together with the car, new owner will get original car cover, never used lamb fur seat covers, original car cover, windshield screen shields, original manuals, car books and records, and factory hard roof storage support.
$15,500 OBO

One of my favorite color combos. Do you have any pics of the convertible top up? What is the condition of the top? Does it smoke? What mechanical work does it or will it be needing? I started a thread on my #1 car toy that I want to buy but #2 is a 560sl, was looking for one with lower miles though unless one that's really nice came up that would cancel out a little more miles. Does that make any sense?
That's a good price if it doesn't need anything, do you know a shipper or what it would cost to ship to west coast of fla?

Car was just driven by my dad from Cali to PA a few months ago where I am tasked with selling it as he has moved to Europe. I have not had the hard top off since it got here but can do it this weekend and take some pics. Oil was just changed, has new tiress, car does not smoke, however the tranny does have a small leak, a few drops here and there, nothing major.
I have the factory car cover, tool kit, sheep skin seat covers, etc.
Sorry, I don't know anything about shipping a car. Never had to do it before.
