The seller offers for sale a 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Cabriolet powered by a 5.0 liter eight-cylinder petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, contributing to a relaxed and confident driving experience. The paintwork presents nicely overall with some small scratches visible on both sides, and the interior is described as clean and well cared for. The current, non documented mileage is 89.000 miles and a valid technical inspection is missing. Because the vehicle has been stationary for some time, the battery will need to be replaced and a service is recommended.
The electric soft top is present and functional, although it shows visible wear and discoloration. The soft top mechanism operates properly with only light resistance. The seller has purchased a replacement soft top, which is included but still needs to be fitted by the buyer.
The Mercedes-Benz SL500 from the R129 generation is widely regarded as a refined blend of performance, comfort, and engineering quality. Introduced as a technologically advanced roadster, it offered strong V8 performance combined with excellent driving comfort and safety features. The model is appreciated for its solid build, timeless design, and smooth power delivery. Today, the SL500 remains attractive to enthusiasts seeking a classic luxury Cabriolet with strong presence and effortless performance.
