If you are looking for a keeper to drive on sunny days for fun or to enjoy a curvy road with ease this is the car for you This car is near show condition withoutstandingpaint and excellent carpetedinterior.I have been told that the paint is original and as you can see from the many photos it is near flawless, t came with a bra on the front so there are no road or gravel chips on the front (see photo of the front including the undamaged air damn).It came from Oakdale California a year ago and has been inside since that time. Two of the three owners were mother and daughter and I bought it from the daughter. I am only selling it because I found a rare SL600 V12 shortly after I bought this one 2/6/15 with 138,577 miles on it. Don't let the mileage on this car bother you as these cars are made to go far beyond 500k miles with proper care. This is the second year the transmission is upgraded to a 5 speed automatic with anti slip control.
Options include a Factory Bose Stereo Sound system with sub woofer mounted behind the driver as shown and a 7 disc changer in the trunk, lso shown. It has heated seats, ilt and telescoping steering wheel, way adjustable electric seats on both sides with headrest height adjustment, ne button hardtop and convertible top removal, indshield wiper with rain sensor and many more options.
It runs just like new with no known problems running or shifting. The tires have about half the tread left and are well balanced and in good condition. The photo of the one rim is indicative of all four and do not have the usual nicks orscrapes on the edges.The top operation works well for both for removal of the hardtop and raising the soft top with just one single button. the Hydraulics that complete this operation have no leaks as is common with these cars. The top is in good condition with little discoloration in the plastic windows however the side windows each have a crack which has been taped satisfactorily with clear tape.
This is one of the last of the 4 valves per cylinder with total of 32 valves ( more recent models are 24 valve. This is rated over 300hp at a low RPM and is very quick easy handling plus being very comfortable on the road at high speeds. One look at this car and you will see that it has been very well cared for. I can recommend driving this car across the USA and back with no problem. I will guarantee that when you come to pick this car up that you will be completely satisfied with it's running condition and appearance and that will be completely as described.
I hate to get rid of this car but I have two and do not wish to insure them both. I am requiring a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of final bid which can be paid with PayPaland the balance within 5 days by Bank Cashiers Check or cash in person within the same 5 days.
I am more than happy to assist with transportation however it is up to the purchaser to make the arrangements. If you wish to fly into Eugene, regon I am more than happy to pick you up at the airport which is about an hour and a half away at no charge.
