1998 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 SL1 Sport

Up for sale is a 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R129), a classic roadster finished in Smoke Silver over Palomino leather, a timeless and elegant color combination that really suits the car. With just 78,000 miles, this example is a well-kept driver that offers the right balance of condition and usability.

It comes with both the factory hardtop and soft top, giving you flexibility year-round. The hydraulic system for the convertible top was replaced a few years ago, which is a big plus on these cars, and it recently received a tune-up so it’s ready to be enjoyed.

Inside is clean and tidy with no rips, tears, or funky smells. The Palomino leather seats present very well with only light, normal wear, and the interior overall reflects a car that’s been cared for over the years. It still has that solid, comfortable feel these R129s are known for.

The exterior presents nicely with good shine and straight panels, and overall the car shows very well. The wood trim is in great shape with no fading or cracking, and the car has been garage kept, which really shows in how it’s held up over the years.

If you’re looking for a well-priced R129 with relatively low miles, desirable color combo, recent maintenance, and both tops, this is a great opportunity to own a modern classic that’s becoming harder to find in this kind of condition.
