1992 Mercedes-Benz 500SL

1992 MERCEDES-BENZ 500SL COUPE/ROADSTER #WDBFA66E3NF039990. (Stock #4126.) In late 1989, Mercedes-Benz introduced an entirely new, very advanced and very expensive new sports car for 1990, the “500SL.” At a cost of @$100,000, the anxious public could have a very powerful, very comfortable and very exclusive 2-seater convertible with both an automatically operated convertible top (the first for a Mercedes-Benz) and a beautifully designed aluminum detachable hard top. The 5 litre ,V-8 engine propelled the very solid 2-ton sports-touring car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6 seconds and provided a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. A local (Bernardsville) man ordered one of these in 1991, taking delivery of a 1992 model on October 8, 1991. He ordered the car in unusual and beautiful Spruce Green with parchment leather and treated the car exceptionally well, driving it fewer than 38,000 miles in his 27 years of ownership. He then replaced it with a new 2019 Mercedes-Benz and trusted that we would find the proper person for his old friend. We sold the car to a 40+ years local Stable customer who, although spending most of his time out-of-state, does maintain a home here in town and thought that this would be a great car to have garaged here for occasional use. He has driven the car fewer than 800 miles in 2 years, so has decided to pass it along to someone else. With an amazing array of standard safety and comfort features, this car was additionally ordered with heated seats(also electrically operated and with memories) and factory telephone. The factory 16" alloy wheels are wearing high-speed Pirelli P-600 tires and the spare has never been used. All original manuals have been saved with the car as well as the factory tool kit. The car is in very close to new condition. A mobile rack for the hard top as well as fitted covers for both the car and the hard top are present. 38,429 miles. SOLD!
