Condition
The body is in very good condition, free from dents or door dings. However, there is damage to the front bumper, as well as some paint peeling and stone chips that should be considered. The paint is otherwise in good condition, and there is no indication of previous respraying.
The windows, chrome details, trim, and headlamp glass are in excellent condition. The wheels are undamaged, and the tires have a tread depth of about 6 mm.
The interior is also of high quality, but with a few minor remarks:
- There is a small tear in the passenger seat.
- There is a minor damage to a plastic panel inside (see photos for reference).
- Otherwise, the upholstery, door panels, entry sills, headliner, and instrument panel are free from damage or abnormal wear. Controls, steering wheel, and buttons show only normal signs of use.
- The brakes, transmission, engine, and drivetrain are in good condition and function without issue. All electronics, including A/C, power windows, and lighting, work as they should. The engine is original and unmodified – described as being in like-new condition.
Service History
The car has been regularly maintained, and the most recent inspection was completed on May 27, 2024. Previous inspection reports are available for review.
Summary
This is a well-maintained Mercedes-Benz SL 500 from the R230 generation – a car that combines classic style, V8 performance, and high comfort. With documented mileage, an Italian background, and good overall condition in both mechanics and interior, this is an attractive example for the enthusiast. Minor cosmetic issues such as stone chips, paint peeling, damage to the front, a tear in the passenger seat, and a small plastic scratch in the interior should be taken into account – see photos for more details.
