About this 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500

VIN: WDBFA67F4WF159886

This is a very well-maintained and cared for 1998 (one of it not the best year for R129s) SL500 with only 43k miles! I have owned it for about 4 years, and it's been garage-kept the whole time, as well as I have only put on about 1,400 miles in that time. I have changed the oil three times (most recent was Aug 2024), serpentine belt (2021), and fuel lines/fuel pump (Dec 2024) in this time - as well as recently performed a diagnostic test indicating this vehicle is in EXCELLENT mechanical condition. The exterior is VERY GOOD with a few normal wear and tear blemishes, all from the previous owner. The interior is phenomenal - with no cracks or blemishes in the leather or dash. It's pristine! The only reason I am looking to sell it is to free up garage space and make sure it goes to a good home/owner who will DRIVE it!

It has the original owner's manual, two different car covers, original floor mats in new condition, and aftermarket weathertech-style mats color-matched to look great with the interior.
