1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a classic roadster equipped with a 5.6-liter V8 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car has been well-maintained throughout its life, with a robust engine that idles smoothly and a significant history of service records available for review. It has been garage-kept for the majority of its use, with limited cosmetic and functional wear given its age.

Notable Features:

Engine: 5.6-liter V8 producing 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque.
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive.

Known Issues:
Oil Leak: It has a slow oil leak coming from somewhere.
Power Steering Leak: There is a small leak in the power steering line.
Drivers Side Door Lock: The lock sticks, requiring operation from the passenger side.
Power Antenna: The antenna works but requires some manual assistance.
Soft Top Condition: The rear vinyl window is yellowing, and the bottom gasket seal is cracked and flaking. While functional, the soft top may require replacement for optimal usability.
Hard Top: The hardtop is included as well as the stand for it. Everything's in good condition but if you look real hard you will see minor nicks and dents throughout the paint. Given its age it is in really good shape.
Air Conditioning: The system blows air but does not produce cold air. It needs to be converted from Freon to a modern refrigerant. Freon canisters may be provided at the time of sale if available.
Cosmetic Wear: There are minor nicks on the hood edge and near the antenna, as well as a small dent on the drivers door.
Interior: The car features a Palomino (tan) interior, which shows typical wear for its age. The seats are upholstered in leather or MB-Tex (specific material to be confirmed). The cabin overall is in presentable condition.

Additional Notes:
The hardtop has been carefully stored for over a decade, and the vehicle includes many maintenance records that detail its upkeep over the years. This car represents a solid example of a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, with some age-related issues that could be addressed for restoration or resale potential.

Note to potential buyer: I'm selling this car for my parents. They are on title. Given their age and physical limitations, we will need to have the car shown here in Ontario CA and then drive over to the Diamond Bar AAA office to complete the paperwork. My dad will be there to sign. While I don't want to just give it away, the car needs to go. My mom doesn't drive anymore and my dad is too tall to fit in it. lol
