1997 Mercedes SL320 A solid, grand tourer and top-drawer ride.

This SL320 Mercedes is a solid. satisfying grand tourer that remains a top-drawer ride. Its appearance is a lovely shape that should look as good in the distant future as it does now. It has always been parked in a garage. The interior is pristine with no damage to the dash wood trim or leather seats. The biggest change for '97 is a five-speed automatic transmission. For those of you who doubt the need for the extra gearing. consider this: it's a smaller. lighter transmission that improves gas mileage 7 percent and requires 40 percent fewer parts to build. It's smart. too. electronically controlled to automatically match up shifting patterns with the driver's style and adjust shifting for hill climbing or descent. The SL320 soars happily up the steep grades and will hunker down into the turns. This is a wonderful car for anyone that wants the a quite. luxury with a sound system that rivals your home entertainment system. In the Spring. pop the hard top off. place it on the roll-away stand. and you are ready for a real convertible experience without having your hair blown up from the back…. the windscreen attaches to the roll bar. If you want to drive with the roll bar down. the screen can still be up. protecting your hair from blowing in the wind. The roll bar will pop-up automatically in the event of a roll over. A little secret my German mechanic once told me about was that the EPA requires all cars to run and test on regular gasoline! This car as well as most cars will change their electronic settings to run on most all fuels. There is no “knocking” with modern cars. since they have adaptive electronic computers to adapt to all conditions and altitudes.
