1989 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 560SL Description

It's hard to believe but true. This classic 1989 Mercedes 560SL offers V8 power and the perfect factory color combination, and yet you don't have to pay more than an economy hatchback to take it home.The 560SL is highly desirable because it's the full wish list in one car. These are elegant, powerful, comfortable, timeless and nimble classics. 1989 was the final year for the now legendary R107 model designation. These cars are iconic because they represent an era when very few companies could build a convertible without worrying about safety regulations. Mercedes built their cars so robustly that the R107 exceeded these standards, and they did it elegantly without an unsightly roll bar. It was the go-to driver for celebrities, dignitaries, and the wealthy because the sleek lines hid a full size interior and usable trunk that was perfect for any road trip. The Diamond Blue metallic paint on this one is one of the few colors from the era that still looks modernly elegant today.One of the best complements to the exterior paint is the interior color. Whether people see you on sunny days with the optional blue leather, or even when the newer blue fabric top is up, the double shades of blue highlight the kind of corresponding colors that are still being utilized by the finest carmakers today. The 560SL was one of the most expensive cars Mercedes offered during its reign, and so the features list is quite long. This includes conveniences such as power windows, power locks, power steering, cruise control, and the original AM/FM cassette player. The air conditioning has even been converted to modern R134a. Because this was built 1989, there are also more modern features than most R107s, such as a third brake light and a driver's air bag.The 560SL came with a big 5.6-liter V8 motor making 238 hp and 287 lb-ft of torque more than the contemporary Rolls-Royces. On the road, an R107 has a fully-independent chassis that is the perfect balance of elastic comfort in a tight-handling package. This was topped off with a four-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes for the best all-around control. Plus, this comes with Michelin tires on 16-inch Mercedes alloy wheels. In total, the Mercedes SL is in a class all of its own. It has always been hard to define its competitors because no other car combines grand touring comfort in a quick and nimble machine so perfectly. This example has preserved the heritage and has averaged around 2,800 miles per year since new. They say that class is not something that can't be bought, but purchasing this 560SL proves them wrong. It's becoming harder and harder to find complete packages with low mileage like this, we don't expect it to last long in our showroom. Call today!!!
