1988 Mercedes-Benz

560SL



What We Like

Few convertibles remain as iconic as the venerable Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-series. This 118k-mile 560SL is finished in Diamond Blue Metallic with a dark blue soft top over Royal Blue leather, and is believed to have had long-term ownership. Additionally, the car is said to be unmodified throughout, and received over $3,000 in servicing in late 2021. This honest, turnkey 560SL offers the chance for its next owner to experience classic 1980s German motoring in style.

Seller Information

Vehicle History & Overview

The included Carfax report starts in June 1988 and shows registration in New York, Connecticut, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The selling dealer acquired this 560SL in May 2022 and has added less than 100 of the 118,800 miles shown. Included service documentation totaling more than $3,200 shows replacement of the rear brakes, transmission pan, driveshaft flex-discs, and front lower ball-joints. The owner's manual, spare tire, first aid kit, and tool kit are included.

The R107-chassis SL-series made its North American debut in 1972, with the 560SL arriving in 1986. Featuring a 5.5L V8 developing 227 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque paired with a 4-speed automatic, the 560SL was capable of 0-60 mph in less than 7.0 seconds and could continue on to nearly 150 mph. Amenities included automatic climate control, leather and wood trim, power windows/mirrors, and an outside temperature gauge. A body-color removable hardtop was offered, as seen on this example.
