1992 Mercedes-Benz SL 500
Basic information and history
Domestically sold Mercedes-Benz SL 500 from 1992 with approx. 143,180km on the odometer. The car has been in the same family since 2008 and has only driven about 26,000 km in the last ten years. The current owner's late husband bought the car from the first owner, and the car has thus had two users since 1992. The car comes in good used condition. The car is being sold as the owner has unfortunately passed away. Information about the object can therefore be more sparse than on our other advertisements.

Condition
The car comes in good used condition. The paintwork is nice, but there is of course wear and tear from age and use. When documenting the vehicle, we found, among other things, a dent on the tailgate behind the Mercedes badge, paint scratches on the rear and front bumpers and some marks around the wheel arches. A normal amount of stone chips on the front and hood. Paint drop under the right headlight. There are some bubbles appearing on the top of the A-pillar on the driver's side. Rims in OK used condition with minor scratches and marks. Under the hardtop, the soft top is in good condition with no leaks, intact and clean according to the current owner.
The interior is in good used condition. The perforated orthopaedic seats have held up well over the years but have normal wear and tear from stepping in and out. Door panels and interior carpet in good condition. Wooden details in good condition. The instrument panel as well. The steering wheel, buttons and controls are also in good condition. Speaker grills in door sides are slightly scratched. A/C cools as it should.
Under the hood it is relatively clean and tidy. No leaks have been found, but we only had the opportunity to more easily go through the car's functions. Since the owner has passed away, we have little information about the condition of the engine, but during the test drive everything worked as intended and the car is perceived as well taken care of in good working order.
Service history
According to information, the car was serviced at the end of last year. There is various documentation from previous owners and other things to see in the album "documentation".
