This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was sold new in Colorado with subsequent registrations noted in Utah, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. It was acquired by the current owner in 2024 who has added approximately 1000 miles. It was delivered new at the factory under the European Delivery Program and, as indicated on the original window sticker, spent 15 days on the Black Forest/Alps drive following delivery. Finished in Dark Turquoise (297) over Java Nappa Leather (234), power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. The car features the desirable SL2 package which includes xenon headlights, heated front seats, and an integrated trunk-mounted BOSE 6-disc CD changer. Additional equipment includes a matching removable panoramic glass hardtop, a power soft top, remote central locking, automatic climate control and a roll bar with a removable wind deflector. The included Carfax report shows some service history records from previous ownership. Under the current owner’s care this SL received an oil service and inspection in 2025. Now with only 26k miles, this SL500 is offered for sale with original manufacturer’s literature, two keys, a hardtop stand, wind deflector, a fitted car cover, a Carfax report, and a clean Massachusetts title.
The exterior is finished in Dark Turquoise (297) with a paint-matched removable glass panoramic hardtop. A beige automatic soft top can also be raised and lowered with the push of a button. Exterior equipment includes Xenon headlamps, front fog lights, heated power door mirrors and remote central locking. The Carfax reports no accidents or damage from new and all paint is believed to be original. Under the seller’s care, this SL has received a paint correction and ceramic coating.
The 17” 5-slot Albali wheels are wrapped in a set of Continental tires which measure 245/45 on all four corners. A spare tire is mounted in the trunk along with the factory tool kit and jack.
The cabin is trimmed in Java Nappa Leather (234) with Burl Walnut wood trim accenting the center console and door panels. Both front seats are heated with 10-way power adjustability and three-position memory. Interior amenities include a power tilt/telescope steering column, automatic climate control, cruise control, a pop-up roll bar, a trunk-mounted 6-Disc CD changer and a BOSE audio system. A removable wind deflector which mounts to the roll bar will accompany the car and can be stored in a dedicated trunk compartment.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer along with a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The digital odometer currently reads approximately 26k miles from new.
This R129 is powered by a 5.0-liter M113 V8 which is rated for 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed 722.6 automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows some service history records from previous ownership. Under the current owner’s care this SL received an oil service and inspection in 2025.
The included Carfax report shows TMU in 2024 as a result of the titling state noting odometer status as “exempt” due to the age of the car. This SL500 is offered for sale with original manufacturer’s literature, two keys, a hardtop stand, wind deflector, a fitted car cover, a Carfax report, and a clean Massachusetts title.

This car sittinv in my sriveway will grt my neighbor green with envy@MBBRANDON typo, yes it works perfectly. Car is spectacularI've been reviewing this car for the last week and as a serial collector (and obvious hoarder) the mileage note can absolutely be corrected with a patient and understanding DMV agent. Beyond that, I'd wager the seller is *tired of answering the same question multiple times over. Facts: Cool car, title is fine, rare parts, low mileage. These are all pros.@JoeyBenz08 wait does!Does the sunshade work properly on the pano roof? Thanks JoeCan you post a pic of the dealer service invoice you mentioned? Any videos of the top going up/down?Hi Everyone, Regarding carfax, the SL does not have a branded title, it’s just that MA exempts mileage on the the title due to age. I’ve had the car serviced out my local MB dealer. To my knowledge no major parts have been replaced but I will say that it’s drive fantastic. I also have a 2024 GLE 580 and this SL is just as smooth. Yes I have original mats and a custom car cover. The body is in incredible shape and I have only kept it garage while I have owned it.Having purchased a couple of these cars on online auctions (BAT, car&bids) and sold a Panoramic top here, the difference between success/failure and a High or low bid amount has 99% to do with the seller establishing trust in the vehicle (and themselves). Mysteries, unanswered questions and delayed responses usually end in unsold cars and few/low bids. Transparency, early and often answers, owner responsibility for glitches and defects always leads to success, higher and more frequent bids. I take the attitude that I'm passing the car on to my mother who is not educated on any aspect of the car, buying it or owning it and I want to to feel secure that she's doing the right thing. I don't think there is an unfixable problem with the title/mileage situation, but "no response" leaves a "worried mind" to assume the worst.Any service records since the Nissan dealership changed the oil in 2017 thanks JoeBeautiful SL! Any service records beyond what is on the carfax? Have the top hydraulics been replaced or are they original? Do you have the original front floor mats? Any blemishes of note around the body? The pics don’t show much detail.$11,000 bid placed by @HJSarafian

Don't people read? There is NO mileage discrepancy. Several states do not put mileage on cars over 25 years. Therefore there is NO discrepancy.I highly recommend calling Carfax and disputing the mileage discrepancy because it’s now listed as a Branded Title vehicle which isn’t good for you or for the next owner. It’s easy to do, just send them documents of your service history with accurate mileage and a photo of the odometer. A Branded Title vehicle is worth 50% less than current market values. Good luck because I’m very interested in this SL. Cheers.Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate the response.@95Cab carfax is available via the carfax report link. There is no odometer issue, MA exempts the mileage because of the year. I can upload video and under garage picturesPretty car. Pictures of the undercarriage on a lift? Driving video? Soft top video? Hydraulics replaced? Carfax available? Any further details on the mileage discrepancy? Thanks!@JohnSW This is why we do it!I have this exact car in Firemist (20,000 more miles) but the condition and elegance are interchangeable. I think I'll flirt with the notion they could hang out together in the garage. Thanks to MB Market for making it possible.This is beautiful with the beige top. I know the Calypso car MBM sold a few weeks ago was striking but this is downright pretty.$250 bid placed by @babtainy
