About This Car
This 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was initially sold in Washington and remained registered in the state until 2024. Now showing 34k miles, the car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Ash leather upholstery and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include a removable hardtop, a black soft top, 18″ AMG Monoblock wheels, xenon headlights, a panoramic glass roof, heated power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, and a cassette stereo linked to a six-disc CD changer and a Bose sound system. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2024, and it was previously listed on BaT in January 2025. This R129 is offered at no reserve by the selling dealer in Pennsylvania with a wind diffuser, a first aid kit, a Carfax report, and a clean Washington title.
The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features a matching removable hardtop as well as a black soft top. Additional exterior equipment includes a panoramic glass roof, xenon headlights, fog lights, and fender air vents. A May 2009 entry on the Carfax report notes damage to the hood, while a subsequent entry from June 2020 lists an accident with another motor vehicle. There are scratches on the underside of the front bumper cover, and close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.
The 18″ AMG Monoblock wheels are mounted with Toyo Proxes tires. The car was factory-equipped with a self-leveling suspension with an Adaptive Damping System (ADS). Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
The heated power-adjustable seats are upholstered in Ash leather, and burl wood accents the doors and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, seat position memory, automatic climate control, cruise control, a heated hardtop rear window, and a cassette stereo linked to a remote six-disc CD changer and a Bose sound system.
The leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 34k miles.
The 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory-rated at 315 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. The most recent oil change was performed in February 2022.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report lists the aforementioned damage reports in May 2009 and June 2020.
