1997 Mercedes-Benz: SL500

Your neighbor's property values just went up!!

 

45,000, 1 OWNER MILES!!!  As good as it gets!!! Registered in Missouri, then here in Florida by the original owners.  Seasonal cars, our favorite!!

$82,695 new or $16,888 looking like this!! You decide!!

The Mercedes-Benz SL500 has presence. No matter the neighborhood, an SL is a sign of good taste.  It is an expression of individuality!!  Probably the most sought after Roadster in the world.  This is German Engineering at its FINEST!

What an awesome Surprise!!!  We were fortunate to obtain this Gorgeous SL 500 Roadster from our local Lexus dealer, with all the options and history (Spotless Autocheck w/ guaranteed buyback), for an amount that is allowing us to offer it here for about $4000 less than retail.  All with no dings, dents or rust.  Seasonal residents.  Our favorite kind and here's a few examples why!!!

The exterior is near flawless.  You'll have to look very close to find any blems on the Ferrari Red paint finish but certainly nothing you'd need to fuss with. Very rare color as it's just one of the few I've seen.  Aggressive body style, nicely appointed with factory Mercedes Benz Premium Sound, Mercedes Wheels and 80% tread life remaining and matching radials!! Sharp from every angle and definitely a real head turner.  OH>>>PANARAMIC GLASS TOP WITH SHADES!!!  RARE & A BLAST TO DRIVE!!!

This SL just could not be nicer!! Gorgeous Tan Leather seating surfaces are mint and door and dash panels as well as all interior appliqués are just as fresh as new. HEATED SEATS are definitely a real plus!!  Even the floor mats appear almost new.  This interior really is NICE!!!  Premium sound with AM/FM/Cassette  is just plain Fun to listen to.  Add to that power everything, a flawless removable GLASS TOP, a Soft Top that's NEW, goes up or down at the touch of a button, ice cold a/c, and plenty of room for 2 adults and their STUFF (large trunk) and you realize this is a Lot of Sports Car and LOOK for the money!!!  A nonsmoker for sure, factory floor mats, owners manual and 2 key w/2 remotes really round out the package!! Pampered vehicles like this are some of our favorite to offer and for good reason. 

Checked, serviced and ready for some drive time.  45,000 miles pretty much sums it up!! Smooth and steady at any speed and definitely no shakes or shimmies.  Solid and tight. Again, our favorite kind.  The 5.0 Liter 32 valve DOHC 8 cylinder engine is one of their best, delivering an Exhilarating 302 Horse Power. This gives you plenty of acceleration and performance, yet delivering right at 22 mpg's on the freeway.  Very nice indeed.  Precise shifting 5 speed automatic transmission and handling that has a sport feel while delivering a superb Luxury ride as well.  Again we say, A Lot of Car Here!!!

So be the high bidder by utilizing the Buy it Now feature (save the $150 processing fee) and let the friends and neighbors wonder how you found such a car with so much "EYE" and saved so much in the process!!!  STUNNING VALUE??? Definitely and for so little money.  We do assist with shipping information and also provide ground transportation from our local airport, R.S.W. Please enjoy the auction, contact us anytime and know you can bid with extreme confidence on a Sharp and feature loaded SL500 in Awesome condition.

****PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING****

  • We ask that all successful bidders please contact me within 24 hours of auction end to begin process of completing the sale. Please do not make a bid on my car if you have no intention of buying it. Time is precious, let's not waste each other's. We promise to be fair to you, please do the same for us.
  • All vehicles are sold "as-is" with no warranty expressed or implied. Buyer assumes all responsibility once vehicle leaves our possession. The vehicle will be described accurately, but remember these are used cars, they will show signs as such. You are not bidding on brand new cars, so there may be parts of the vehicle that are not brand new. We are sure this is obvious to most people, but we just want it to be perfectly clear. We will do our best to describe all the obvious and important things so you have a good idea of what you are buying.  With advance notice we will make our vehicles available for a PRE-BID inspection. This must be completed prior to bidding.  We are an appointment only dealership.  Please just either email or contact us by phone when making an appointment to view a vehicle or to pick up one you have purchased.  Thanks so much.

  • Florida residents must include 6% sales tax. According to Florida law, if an out-of-state purchaser takes delivery of a vehicle in the state of Florida we are obligated as a licensed dealer to collect sales tax at a rate equal to the purchasers state sales tax. The purchaser will then be given a receipt proving tax paid to present to their tax collectors office for sales tax credit. This does not apply to vehicles shipped out of state, only ones picked up in Florida.
  • Buyer assumes the cost of shipping and insurance. We already have contacts to ship the vehicle anywhere in the U.S.A. and will be glad to arrange this for you, and give you cost estimate ahead of time. If you are going to fly in, we will arrange transportation from the Ft. Myers International Airport.
  • All titles are guaranteed to be clean and free of any liens. If you would like documentation, contact us, and we will gladly get it for you.
  • Remember you are entering into a legally binding contract. WE WILL GIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ON ANY FINAL BIDDER THAT REFUSES TO HONOR HIS OR HER OBLIGATION!!!
  • Because of our local customers, we must reserve the right to cancel any auction early. This will be rare because we want to give everyone a fair chance. So don't be afraid to bid.
  • As with any preowned vehicle, personal preference is a factor.  Please consider and expect to invest a few hundred dollars into your new car, catering it to your individual tastes and requirements. We do try our very best to objectively describe our offerings and welcome your emails and phone inquiries. Again, Thank You.
