1992 Mercedes Benz 500SL Teal Blue Metallic, Parchment Interior.

I have worked on Mercedes Benz since 1984 when I began my career at the Mercedes dealership. I have always loved the 129's since they first came out in 1990. I was there when the first one was unloaded at our dealership and did the pre-delivery inspection. they offered much improved performance and styling than the venerable and long production of the 107. I prefer these over the 230 model that replaced it in 2001. (the 129 offered more trunk room than the retractable hardtop did, nough for golfclubs, nd had better build quality!) Up til '92 they used CIS fuel injection which was more reliable and less expensive to repair than theEFI of later years. This model was used in a lot of movies from the nineties (Eddie Murphy drove one in Beverly Hills Cop). They were quite the rage of the automobile industry when they were introduced. I couldn't afford one back then, at$95,000) but was glad to buy my first one of these in 2008. They are valued by NADA andHaggerty at $7,600-$24,400 today and well worth it! I haveenjoyed driving this car on weekends and long trips while I have owned it. I have thoroughly inspected, epaired and adjusted everything on the car since I've owned it. The only reason I am offering it for sale is I have three other MB project cars that need my attention and money.If you are near Santa Barbara, A, invite you to view,test drive the car. If not you are welcome to set up a pre-delivery inspection of the car at a shop of your choice, hey can e-mail you the results of their inspection, will arrange to drop off the car off for them to look at. Don't hesitate to call or text me any questions you might have.
