She is twenty 29 years old and still less than 49,000 miles! This car took me more than 8 months to find, hen I was looking for my MidlifeCrisis car. I scoured cragslist/Hemmings/ebay and classifieds around the county to find this one car. I found her in northern Virginia, n a garage of a very nice house, nder a cover and it was owned by an older gentleman. Thepreviousowner's kept records on oil changes and service records, have done the same.I will have owned her for 4 years this coming Oct. but I never have time to enjoy driving her. My wife doesn't get it, y kids are too young care, o I'm letting her go to someone who canappreciatethis fine auto. It needs to be enjoyed, riven, r shown, ot sit in my garage.
I am the third owner. The previous owner said he never let it rain on the car, nd I can say the same. It is stored in mytemperaturecontrolled garage under a cover, nd israrelydriven. I only use one master mechanic to change the oil and tune up. I only use ethanol free gas (87 oct.) with octane boost.
Soft top is in great shape, lear windows and dark black top with no sign of fade. A/C blows cold. It tracks very straight while driving with zero pull when using the brakes. When applying the gas there is no smoke, o pings, o rattles, o noise other than the sound of a German made V8.It is quick off the line and goes through the gears perfectly.She tracksstraight with no pull either to the left or right.This car drives as well as any new car if not better. When you close the doors you can hear the sound of quality, hese cars are not light weight plastic andaluminum but chrome and steel.
I have read numerous ads for 560SL's about how they are "The mostdesirablecolor combination." I can only say that this car's color combo is timeless, lassic and catches most everyone's attention.
Since I have owned this car, have not put 1000 miles on it. As far as I can tell everything is running great, nd has no smoke or leaking issues.Theundercarriage looks in greatcondition.Using the Hagerty Classic Car (HCC) rating, n my opinion, would say it is a solid #2, ut very close to a #1.
In the photos I have noticed that the seats look very light in color, lease know that they match the interior properly, he variance of color is from the camera flash used in the taking of the photos.There are some scratches on the boot area where the hard top sits, hese are the largest of the scratches, hey are in the photocollection. There are also 3 very small "dings" on the rear bumper (very, ery hard to see.) And a small scratch above the passenger side headlight, ard to notice. Also, he spare tire rim is scratched up. These are the only issues I can find with the car. I am trying to be as upfront as possible about this car, ut with being almost 29 years old there are always a few nicks. I would put this car against any on Ebay in quality, eriod.
CAR FAX value on this 560SL is $760 over retail book value. These cars seem to be going up in value according to Hagerty Classic Car, I had the link here, ut Ebay made me remove it. *sigh*)
Average asking price for a car of this type is$18,731.13 according to Hemming's Motor News,this car is below that on the reserve.
Comes with a car cover, oof rack, ard top and top cover.
