1989 Mercedes 560SL, 13k Miles

1989 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Description

This '89 560 SL is a two owner car that was leased to the original owner by Dana Mercedes Benz on the 10th of November 1988. The car was bought by the Lessor at the lease end when the car had less than 2,000 miles. It was kept in an air conditioned and heated garage from the date it was bought until it was traded to Ross Mercedes in 1996. The car at that time had 7700 miles on the odometer. The car was purchased by its second owner from Ross Mercedes in March of 1996 and the car continued to have been stored in a climate controlled environment, detailed weekly by hand and driven very seldom as the present mileage would indicate, 13944, some 5200 miles in 20 odd years. This car had Dayton Wire Wheels installed when it was purchased by the first owner and those wheels (in absolutely perfect condition) remain on the car today with original equipment Pirelli Radials installed which are also perfect. The original Mercedes wheels are with the car, also in perfect condition and have been stored in the boxes in which the Dayton's were delivered and will come with the car when purchased. This car has not had any body damage or paintwork ever, not even a touch up and the paint is virtually perfect, the interior is perfect, the chrome is perfect, no rust on the underside or anywhere for that matter. All of the glass is original and perfect with all Mercedes markings in place. The chocolate Mercedes canvas top is original to the car also is perfect and has all the markings in place for documentation. The convertible top has remained up on the car with the hard top stored on a MB stand with cover. The car also comes with a Mercedes Benz Factory issue car cover and stand where the hard top was kept when stored and not in use. The unique thing about this car is the way it was stored in a climate controlled garage, so all of the belts, hoses, seals, insulation materials, rubber door seals, hood seals etc. and the convertible top are all original to the car and all virtually look brand new. I have tried to take as many pictures of the various areas for visual purposes and I have included as many as Ebay will allow but have more and can take more specific pictures if needed. The car does not have a ding or scratch anywhere, no bug chips, door chips, not even minute scratches anywhere. Chrome and rubber exterior trim is perfect with zero discoloration or pitting, none at all. The interior leather, mats, door sills, chrome, dash are all perfect and every option and component on this car is in perfect working order. I am not going to go on and on about the car only to state that this is without a doubt one of the nicest and most original 560 SLs on the planet. There are not a lot of low mileage, collector quality SLs out there and I would bet that there are very few if any that have been so meticulously cared for by its owners and in such perfect condition. It is truly an investment grade car with the heritage to back it up and if you know these cars you know of course the investment potential of a car of this caliber. Hagerty's has indicated over a 200% in value since 2014 and they continue to rise disproportionately with other makes of the same vintage or any vintage for that matter.
This car has never had any more than a wash and vac other than the engine which was lightly cleaned by hand so as not to disturb the many original stickers and markings still with the car. The paint on the car shows no wear or abrasion anywhere and there is no other words for it but original and perfect.If you want to come look at the car please feel free to contact me a 404 981 0140 or contact me through ebay. If you would like to send an inspector please feel free to do that as well. The car is stored in my garage in The Villages, FL. and I am available most anytime to show the car.
NOTE: THIS CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND MAY BE SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTIONS END.
