SUPERBLY MAINTAINED 560SL, SOUTHERN CAR, LOTS OF RECEIPTS, LOADED W/LUXURY!!

This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a fully loaded roadster that still delivers famous luxury and performance, ven more than 25 years later. These cars were built in an era when engineers ruled Mercedes-Benz, nd were built up to a standard, ot down to a price. As a result, hey're rugged, eliable, omfortable cars that will last virtually forever given proper maintenance, nd the experience of driving one is unlike any other. And the funny thing is, ost folks don't even realize what a massive bargain these cars are, o you can park it in your driveway and all the neighbors will be abuzz wondering when you won the lottery.By 1989, he last year of R107 SL production, ercedes pretty much had the SL perfected, nd there's definitely something to be said about Mercedes quality; your $65,000 in 1989 purchased one heck of an automobile. The gaps are precise, he doors open and close with precision now that they've been properly exercised, nd the paint is glossier and smoother than anything else this side of a Rolls-Royce, specially considering its age. The car's overall condition suggests that this has only been a fair weather cruiser, nd as a result it remains in excellent condition with mostly original paint, nd all the rubber remains pliable and soft. Dark blue will never go out of style, hich can probably be said for the entire car, nd thanks to that legendary build quality, ou don't have to worry about it wearing out its welcome anytime soon.The gray leather bucket seats were recently re-trimmed in high quality leather that is both durable and comfortable. Showing a nice patina, ut no damage, he rest of the interior is inviting and comfortable enough for a cross-country tour. All SLs were strictly two-seaters, ith intimate accommodations that make even the passenger feel special, nd while there's a rear package shelf, t has been commandeered by a set of powerful speakers for the stereo system. A comprehensive array of gauges keep an eye on the mechanicals, nd you're coddled with luxury features like climate control, powerful Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo, ower windows, nd beautiful burled walnut trim. The contrasting blue canvas convertible top actually looks fantastic on the blue car, nd stows easily under a hard tonneau, nd a matching blue hardtop is included.The final evolution of the SL received the biggest, ost powerful engine to date, 5.6 liter SOHC V8. Power delivery is smooth and seamless, ith a fat torque curve that moves the roadster with the ease of an electric motor. A pleasant, ubbly idle and a great V8 rumble are the ideal soundtrack, ust enough to let you know that there's still some sports car DNA running through its veins. The engine bay in this SL shows signs of meticulous maintenance (tons of receipts are included), nd everything works as it should, ncluding the A/C which got a full overhaul in 2011, nd the timing chain was recently replaced. The 4-speed automatic clicks through the gears, he suspension is supple without losing its poise, nd the steering box, ront end, nd brakes are recently rebuilt.
