This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 was purchased new in Florida where it remained until moving to Virginia with it's most recent owner in 2008. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over a Gray Leather (238) interior, power is provided by a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 paired to a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include the SL1 AMG Sport styling package, SL2 Package with heated seats and Xenon headlamps, a retractable Grey soft top, automatic climate control, and a factory Bose stereo. This SL500 shows 93k miles on the odometer and is now offered by the selling dealer in Florida with factory literature, a clean Carfax report, one remote key, and a clean Florida title.
The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features the desirable SL1 AMG Sport package which includes a sculpted AMG front bumper, side skirts, and a rear apron along with factory 18” staggered AMG wheels showing machined lips and painted faces. This example also features an electric folding grey soft top, xenon headlamps, and fog lights. The Carfax shows no accidents or damage since new. The selling dealer notes that the hardtop no longer accompanies the car.
Factory 18” staggered AMG wheels are finished in chrome and come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires measuring 245/40 up front and 275/35 in the rear with older date codes. The seller notes the tires show some cracks due to age and pitting is noted in the chrome finish on the wheels.

Amenities include power-adjustable orthopedic heated front seats with position memory, automatic climate control, a factory BOSE head unit with cassette functionality, and an auto-dimming mirror. Interior flaws mentioned by the dealer include a missing clip on the sliding center arm rest, staining on the door panels below the release handle, and a missing passenger visor cover. The factory radio and antenna are noted as original and functional along with a 6-disc CD changer located in the trunk.
A leather and wood-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, and clock along with gauges for fuel level, instant economy, coolant temperature, and oil temperature. The digital odometer indicates 93k miles.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 was factory-rated at 315 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The Carfax report lists regular service visits since new with the most recent service in November 2022.

Hi All We’ve got just under 2 hours left What a great value! I’m sure someone will love this awesome R129
@Tantumaude Nope the top raises and lowers flawlessly
@MTW319 I'm very curious about that as well. Seems like an odd spot for it. @Blakcar1 any issues with roof hydraulics?
@mtw319 Nope No water damage whatsoever Looks like a shadow from the seat cushion
Is there water damage on the passenger seat? Something does not look right in photo #63. Looks like wrinkles and staining?
@peterk Yes it does have a lining

Welcome all to our 1999 R129 auction This is a fantastic example, with a working Soft top, ice cold AC and smooth engine. As you can see this Mercedes SL comes equipped with the factory AMG wheels which look great. Please let us know if you have any questions Good luck and happy bidding @upop55 yes I’m pretty sure this was standard, we recently had another R129 that had the same exact wheel, which leads me to believe these Wood and leather wheels were upgrades from the factory
@seller is that steering wheel stock? I dodn't remember seeing a wood and leather wheel on 500's. Looks great!
