Hello forum. I am in the unique position to sell this amazing car. The last year of the classic styled AMG SL600. My father in poor health, bought this car from Texas and parked it in climate controlled garage with his collection over 15 years ago. It’s been under cover in the climate controlled garage. Not on a battery tender. Not driven. Not started. Not serviced. Literally a car in a vault. When I got a new battery and started car two years ago, it smelled and started right up. Somehow still had that New Mercedes leather smell that quality cars offer. Interior is a 10 of 10 with all the leather and wood as new. Original tires.
I am about to pull the car out and do a refresh of fluids, drain the gas, do basic service etc. Will have to replace the new-old tires. Sending car out for high end detail.
Have the hard top convertible under cover on the original MERCEDES rolling stand. Never used.
The under lining of the engine hood is brittle and parts have crumbled where touched. Other than that, it’s 100%. No wear marks. No engine burnt signs of age. No visible signs of use. This makes it fun.
All kinds of questions. What service and maintenance recommended? Any experts here with experience on this car and model? Probably going to put up on the internet after service and maintenance service.
2002 SL600
Black / Tan
AMG rims
everything works (will confirm again)
original less than 14,000 miles (Fourteen)
WILL GATHER PICS TO ADD HERE. CURRENT CONDITION PICS. IN OKLAHOMA.

Oh Yah. Thank you. My CPA was eyeing the car but he bought his first Porsche instead. He never came to look at it. It was all lip service. I do like his Porsche though.

Brittle Hood Pad at 14,000 miles ? Should last at least to 50,000. Before removing it , cover the whole engine, no fun if you don't.
3M Spray trim adhesive, "the best or nothing"!!!?
Cheers
Thanks Hanscan. I’d agree, but maybe not driving the car and not having the heat and normal use has caused the padding to become brittle sooner. I don’t plan to touch it. Car is near perfect. Thanks for the tip.
I wouldn’t blame this community for rolling your eyes at another selfless bump on this post. However, as it happens, an interested collector has popped up. Probably from this forum. With current, used market conditions, curious where the value of this car might land? If it was $40k before, where is it now? Any recent examples for comparisons?
Nov 11 2021 = SELLING THIS CAR. Putting on BAT in next 30 days. Getting 4 new tires. This week.
Nov 11 2021:
* car battery replaced.
* started up
* top works perfectly opening up & down (video)
* car self leveling works
* no leaks from anywhere
Still under 14,000 original miles. No check engine or warning lights. Does say to add washer fluid. Drove around the block. Everything as new for a 13,700 miles car.
Happy to report this car went to a lucky owner for $40,000. Never advertised or put up for sale other than this thread. After new battery, new tires, and fluid change, car drove as new. Top works great. Never used hard top went right on. Thank you for all the support and comments on this forum. Attached some parting pics. Congrats to the new owner.
