This 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Silver Arrow was sold new and first registered in Illinois in January 2001. The car has spent time between Illinois and Florida since new and shows 123k original miles. Finished in Silver Arrow Metallic (777) over Black Nappa Leather (231) interior, power is provided by a 5.0-liter M113 V8 engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. This R129 is 1 of 1,550 Silver Arrow editions offered for the North American market and offered exclusively as a final year 2002 model. Features include an electric folding soft-top, removable matching hardtop, Xenon headlights, electrically adjustable and heated seats, and illuminated door sills. The included carfax report shows 15 service history records and the car now shows just over 123k miles. This Silver Arrow is being offered by the seller in Florida at No Reserve with factory literature, two factory keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
The car is finished in Silver Arrow Metallic (777) with a matching removable hardtop. Additional exterior features include Xenon headlamps, Silver Arrow-specific fender badges and an AMG sport styling package which provides sculpted bumpers, side skirts, and a chrome exhaust outlet. The soft top is fully functional with no leaks and the seller notes the plastic windows show some discoloring. The Carfax report lists no accidents or damage since new. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery.
Factory 18” Silver Arrow alloy wheels made by BBS are wrapped in Pirelli tires and measure 245/40 in the front and 275/35 in the rear with 2013 date codes shown. The Silver Arrow editions feature factory-drilled brake rotors and silver painted calipers. A spare wheel and tire are located under the trunk floor.
The cabin is trimmed in two-tone Black and Silver (231) Nappa leather across the seats, door cards, head rests, shift knob, and steering wheel. Birdseye Maple wood accents adorn the door cards and center console. The wood shows some fading and imperfections in the finish. Additional features include automatic climate control, power adjustable and heated seats, and original silver leather trimmed floor mats. The leather seats and touch points show some creasing with normal wear. Unique Silver Arrow features include a brushed aluminum instrument cluster, aluminum trim on the shift gate and pedals, and illuminated door sills.
The two-tone, Nappa leather-wrapped steering wheel frames instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer shows 123k miles. The gauges are trimmed with chrome rings and polished aluminum trim exclusive to the Silver Arrow.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 engine was factory rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows 15 service history records. The seller states a service was performed roughly 4,500 miles ago in 2022 which included an oil change and new spark plugs. Underbody photos are provided in the gallery with some surface corrosion on outside bolts.
The included Carfax report shows no accidents or damage, linear mileage updates, and registration in Illionois and Florida since new. This Silver Arrow is being offered by the seller at No Reserve in Aventura, Florida with factory literature, two factory keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.

@CraigSu Also, soft top opening and closing demonstration in the video.@StarPeopleWorld That's very reassuring! It should encourage more active bidding.@CraigSu The previous owner changed all the pistons before the current owner took delivery. The soft top operates fine and has no sign of leaks.Since it's a known weak point over time, bidders will certainly appreciate no leaks in the soft top hydraulics but do you know if those hydraulics have ever been refreshed/serviced?Happy Bidding to all! Thank you @frequentFlyer for the first bid.$3,500 bid placed by @FrequentFlyer
