1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 500

Meet this elegant 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 — a classic road-going grand tourer finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with a striking Black leather interior. Powered by a smooth 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 (SOHC, 24-valve), this SL500 pairs relaxed, linear V8 power with a refined 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive for the kind of effortless cruising Mercedes is known for. With under 89,000 miles (averaging less than 4,000 miles per year), it’s a low-use example that drives and presents exceptionally well. Fuel economy is about 14 MPG city and 21 MPG highway.

Factory appointments are comprehensive and oriented toward comfort, safety and long-distance refinement. Highlights include:
- Full leather upholstery in Black with supportive, power-adjustable front seats (including lumbar adjustments) and driver memory for a comfortable, tailored driving position.
- Power soft top with simple one-touch operation; the SL’s top stows neatly for open-air driving while preserving sleek coupe lines when closed.
- Automatic climate control to keep the cabin comfortable in varied conditions.
- Classic Mercedes interior trim and build quality, including tasteful woodgrain accents on the dash and center console and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
- A well-appointed driver’s package: cruise control, power windows and door locks, power mirrors and remote keyless entry.
- Safety systems expected from the era and model: dual front airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, ABS braking, and the SL’s reinforced structure with deployable roll protection for added peace of mind.
- Alloy wheels, fog lamps, and a purposeful stance that communicates both luxury and performance.
- Factory stereo with AM/FM and CD capability (Bose premium audio was an available factory option on many SL500s).

This car presents in excellent overall condition inside and out — the Brilliant Silver Metallic paint beautifully complements the Black interior for a timeless, sophisticated look. The combination of low miles, dependable Mercedes engineering, and fully functional factory features makes this SL500 a great choice if you’re looking for a comfortable, well-mannered convertible that still turns heads.
