I have owned this 500SL for over three years, nd it has been a wonderful car--powerful, eliable, ood-looking, afe, nd fun to drive. It is a Southern California (originally) car that has always been garaged and taken care of. Mechanically, he car is in excellent condition--brakes, ngine, ransmission, uspension, oof mechanism, C--all have been maintained by German Auto in Alameda to a very high standard. I regularly waxed the car, nd the paint is close to perfect. All oil changes were done with synthetic oil. There are a few chips, s one would expect from a car this age, ut no dents or rust or peeling. The plastic underbody/panels are also in good shape and not discolored. There is a small paint fix on the front bumper. The roof is in very good shape, ncluding the plastic rear window, hich was replaced a year ago. The interior is all original and in good shape. The palomino leather seats are very comfortable, nd the leather is in good condition. There is some wear to the driver seat bolster and a small puncture in the passenger seat leather. Dash and wood are in fine condition without any cracks. There is some discoloration on the center armrest. Everything works. Passed smog today. Car comes with matching hardtop (including stand and cover). I will also include the hoist for the garage ceiling if buyer wants it. Tires are almost new.
