Up for sale by a private party is this low mileage, 2-owner, and garage kept 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R129) wearing its original red paint. The present owner has had the car for over 11 years and the total mileage is 62,000.

NO TRADES

Powering the 500SL is the original 5.0L DOHC (dual overhead cam) aluminum V-8 putting out 315 h.p. and backed by the matching 4-speed automatic transmission. The Benz starts easily and drives smoothly without any noted rattles or squeaks.

PLEASE NOTE….ALL BIDS AND OFFERS MADE ON ANY VEHICLE(S) WILL FOLLOW EBAY’S PROTOCOL OF PURCHASING. THIS MEANS THAT ONCE THE BID OR OFFER IS MADE AND ACCEPTED THE BUYER AGREES TO PURCHASE THE CAR IN “AS IS” CONDITION.

The clean Carfax shows no accident history or problems. The paint has some of the usual “age” related chips (see photos), but over all shows well. The power convertible top goes up and down smoothly and the original painted hard top is included. There is no rack or dolly for the top. The soft top is original to the car except for the window section which was replaced. There is no evidence of fading or discoloration. The “wind” spoiler, used when the top is down, is in its case located in the trunk.

The interior retains the factory leather seats and walnut wood finish. All the factory gauges function including the BOSE sound system. The A/C does not work and is believed to need recharging with R134 refrigerant. The 10-way power seats show well except for some wear on the arm rest and a broken seam on the passenger seat. The carpeting and door panels look good. Both owners were non-smokers.

The ‘Benz rides on Michelin Premier 225/55R/16 tires which are approximately 8 years old and driven less than 4,000 miles.

Owner is selling for personal reasons.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale. 

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period.  Approximately 12 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage.  These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
