This 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is finished in Polar White over Parchment leather with a brown soft top and is powered by a 5.0L V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The car has spent its life registered in Arizona and California and was acquired by the seller in November of 2018. Equipment includes a body-colored removable hard top, polished 16″ alloy wheels, power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, and a factory cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted CD changer.
The body is finished in Polar White (149) with a matching removable hardtop and a power-operated brown soft top. Additional features include fog lights, a panoramic windshield wiper, fender vents, and a power antenna. The seller reports that the windshield washer pump was replaced in 2019 while the main hydraulic top cylinder rams and two of the smaller cylinders were replaced in 2021.
Polished 16″ alloy wheels are wrapped in 225/55 Yokohama YK580 tires showing date codes from 2013. Braking is provided by four-wheel anti-lock discs.
The interior features seating surfaces upholstered in Parchment leather along with matching carpets and door panels, a brown upper dashboard, and burl walnut trim. The power-adjustable seats feature position memory, and other amenities include automatic climate control, four lockable interior storage compartments, and an AM/FM cassette stereo with an optional trunk-mounted CD changer. The seller reports that there are two cracks in the plastic moulding that connects the sun visor to the roof pillar as well as scuffs on the speaker grill on the driver’s door.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel economy. The digital odometer indicates under 23k miles, approximately 5k of which were added during current ownership.
The 5.0-liter M119 V8 produced 315 horsepower with 345 lb-ft of torque when new.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission.
