Thanks Bidders and commenters for your interest. I am afraid we didn't quite meet the reserve on this special SL500. I should have a nice W126 up next month if MB Market is game!
Hello everyone! I am around in the final hours of the auction to answer and questions you may have about this beautiful R129 SL500. Best of luck to all of the bidders! Thanks for your interest!
@CICBarkeepThanks for noticing. I do not believe it is Alcantara but it appears to be close if not exactly the OEM Mercedes Benz headliner fabric.
Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. As we enter the final 2 days of the auction, please let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to see any additional pictures or anything at all. Good luck to all and thank you for your interest in this special R129.
@uvacarbuffThanks! The color is truly why I purchased this specific R129.
@Bennett05Yes, I do have a top operating video, I just sent it over to MB Market. I will see if we have window and antenna videos, if not I can shoot those too. Thank you!
@benzaddictjrThanks so much. Yes! Apologies I missed that. I can go snap a pic of the hood pad and submit it by tomorrow.
@CICBarkeep Thanks for the note and for pointing that out.. Congrats on your recent sale and purchase. I am hopeful that this well sorted SL500 will get the attention it should on MB Market!
@giantsteps We have not had any issues with the car and performed necessary maintenance as need. I would certainly be comfortable driving it to Chicago.
@JPCollectsThanks for checking. The correct OEM AMG wheels for a W129 were added by the previous owner. So they were not optioned from the factory, but they are the correct wheels for the car and OEM.
@SuperRecord Thanks so much! I was looking for this color for a long time until I found a good example. The color is really special and it looks different depending upon what the lighting is like outside.
Hello and Welcome to the auction for my 1998 SL500. It's a beautiful car in rare Black Opal Metallic. with stunning two tone exclusive interior. The SL has been incredibly well maintained and has excellent service history. I am a car collector and take care of our vehicles. During my ownership I addressed any needs that came up. Please let me know if you have any questions about the car or if you'd like to see any additional pictures. I will be adding a cold start video soon. Thank you for interest.
@PricklyPearAutoClubThanks so much. I appreciate that. I suppose we have an anomaly with our local MB Dealership who is skilled and will work on and do PPIs on MBs of all years. Also appreciate your willingness to have an indie MB shop check it out. I will be in touch. Thank you.
@seller Would you be open to having a PPI performed at a local MB Dealership? Thanks!
Hi a few questions on this awesome wagon. Has the car had any paint or body work done (since AMG)? Is there anything that does not function properly? Are the 3 headrests for the back seats still with the car? Thank you!
@DKM55 Thanks so much! @seller apologies I missed that!
Thank you @drogoon24. Are you able to please share the date codes on the tires? Are they original to the car?Thanks again, beautiful wagon.
@Dragoon24 Has the vehicle been smoked in? Thanks!
Hello, Do you happen to know if these would work on a W126? Thank you!
