This 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL600 shows registration in California and Maryland from new with just 87k miles on the odometer. Finished in Black (040) over Exclusive Black Leather (511), power is provided by a 6.0-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes self-leveling hydraulic suspension with an Adaptive Damping System, a power folding fabric soft top, a removable hardtop, Xenon headlamps, automatic climate control, heated and power-operated seats, an integrated car phone and Bose audio. Recent maintenance includes an engine oil and oil filter change. This SL600 is now offered for sale by the current owner with the original manufacturer’s literature, first-aid kit, a clean Carfax report and a clean Maryland title.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) and features AMG body styling including a sculpted front air dam, side skirts and rear apron. The black fabric soft top is fully power operated along with the paint-matched removable hardtop. Exterior features include Xenon headlamps, front fog lights, electronic stability programming and a pop-up roll bar. Exterior imperfections include rock chips, chipped paint on the front bumper and bumper touch-up work visible. The seller also reports a chipped driver-side headlight and missing driver-side jack point cover. The remote key is reportedly not working.
The 18” AMG five-spoke wheels have been finished in chrome and come wrapped in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measuring 245/40 front and 275/35 rear with date codes from 2021 and 2022. The wheels show some signs of wear. Self-leveling hydraulic suspension is standard equipment along with the Adaptive Damping System which allows for adjustable ride stiffness.
The cabin is trimmed in Exclusive Black Leather (511) and features matching black carpets and floor mats with Burl Walnut wood trim lining the center console, dashboard and door panels. The seller notes that the center console shows some cracking and the center storage lid is missing the release button. Both seats are heated and power-operated with three-position memory. Additional interior amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, a power tilt/telescope steering wheel, an integrated car phone, a trunk-mounted CD changer, a garage door opener and Bose audio.
The wood/leather steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil temperature. The digital odometer currently shows just over 87k miles from new with 300 miles added by the current owner.
This R129 is powered by a 6.0-liter M120 V12 engine which is factory rated at 389 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Recent maintenance in April 2023 included an engine oil and oil filter change.
The Carfax report shows five owners with registration in California and Maryland with linear mileage updates from new. The Carfax shows regular service visits with no accidents or damage reports. This SL600 is now offered for sale by the current owner with the original manufacturer’s literature, first-aid kit, a clean Carfax report and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.

Only paint issues are both side of the front bumper has scratches. Other than that the paint is in perfect condition. In my ownership I only changed oil and filter.Are there any other paint issues other than the ones noted in your photos/video? Per the Carfax it only shows one oil change since you have owned it. Have you done any other work to it? If so, do you have any receipts?To my knowledge, yes they are the original wheels. But I am not 100% sure since I wasn’t the original owner.Are these the original wheels? If not, do you have the original OEM wheels?$16,000 bid placed by @Smcase22

Great, thank you for the clarification.@nattyM120 when I did the oil change couple weeks ago the oil change service forgot to put back the top of washer fluid container. The part is ordered and should be here in couple daysPicture 164 has some black tape covering something in the top left corner, possibly the washer fluid tank. This portion of the engine bay is omitted from other engine bay pictures as well. Could the seller please clarify what the black is, why it is there, and provide a close up picture.@mg267 That user is not affiliated with Bringatrailer and we have addressed it accordingly. Thank youwhy is @bringatrailer trying to torpedo this auction... did something happen there that we should be aware of?$600 bid placed by @MayorCarsMiami
@pilotbrother2003 thank you. I have been told top was recently serviced before I buy the car with no proof and works perfectly. As far is ADS I have no knowledge or proof that it’s been done.Beautiful car! Have the hydraulic cylinder locks for the roof been rebuilt? Additionally, has the ADS been serviced and/or any of the struts been rebuilt or serviced?
