Mercedes 300SL Convertible with Hard Top Retiree Owned, 83k Orig Miles

1991 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Additional Info:

Up for bidding is a classic 1991 Mercedes 300SL Convertible with only 83,000 original miles. The car comes with the pricey, factory hardtop option. Always garage kept, with no rust or dents. It has barely been driven in the last few years, just a few miles each summer, by a non-smoking retiree. With winter now coming again, and this being an extra car for us, we decided it was time to use the garage space for other things. Accordingly, we have priced the car well below NADA Blue Book value, and with No Reserve pricing. Highest bidder will take this home.

Please do some internet research on the rarity of this car, and check the NADA blue book yourself to verify it's current value.

This car is mechanically sound and very, very dependable, it does not leak oil, it does not overheat, transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. The car has ice cold A/C. It always starts right up and drives straight, it both runs and handles like new, the shocks and suspension system ride perfectly smooth, just like a Mercedes should. You can drive this car home anywhere in the USA, with no fears at all.

The car's paint and interior all look good. The gauges all work, the door panels are fine, headliner is fine, carpet is like new, all of the glass is good. It comes with the factory Mercedes floor mats too, and both are in nice condition. The only body issue issome paint scraping on the very bottom of the lower front valance/air dam, from the inevitable hitting a parking block or two over the years. The only wear on the leather seats at all, is one area on the drivers door side panel, where one would slide into the car over the years. However, included with the car is a complete, exact matching color Mercedes leather back seat upholstery, from a 1991 Benz four door car, that you can use for material to fix the worn spot if you wished.

The underside is extremely clean, looking just like a lifetime garage kept car. The radio is the original factory, but doesn't sound bad. The wheels are the very high end, factory custom chrome Mercedes rims with BRAND NEW matching Bridgestone tires all around. The trunk area is very clean. It has a good spare, a newer battery (6 months old), and comes with the original Mercedes tool kit and top tool.

The convertible top material is in very nice condition. The rear left side, and large rear plastic windows are good. The rear right side small plastic window does have some cracking. Also included in the sale though, is a proper, brand new, clear replacement panel to use in replacing the worn piece.

This is a NO RESERVE auction. The pictures should tell it all, but remember that this is a 25 year old car, not a brand new one. Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding, and refrain from any bidding if you don't have the money or desire to actually own this beauty.
