This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL has the clean fundamentals that come from two-owner care. And when you become the third owner, the value price lets you also really make it your own. So if you want a prestigious classic that also is going to be a personal cruiser, you've found it here.

The Champagne paint is believed to be the original application, and it continues to have a nice metallic glow to keep this convertible looking nice in the sunshine. In fact, the info that we have on this one is that it's a two-owner car, and while it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full mileage, the overall fit and finish reflect long-term respect. So you'll appreciate everything from the fit of the hood to the clean alloys. Mercedes like to present a thoughtful total package. That's why the folding roof is in a harmonizing brown and the color-matched hardtop makes this look like it was designed to be a coupe from day one.

A car like this is all about comfort and ease, and the interior shows that off quite nicely. The bucket seats are well-contoured and have a fold-down armrest in-between. There's room to spread out (even with the top up) with the kind of space that could rival a luxury sedan. The convertible top stores in its own sealed compartment so that it never interferes with items/luggage you have on the rear shelf. So the full package feels thoughtfully engineered. It's also loaded with the best features like power windows, cruise control, and the classic Becker Grand Prix stereo. The classic Mercedes wheel of this era had a terrific grip, and the full VDO gauge package has a crisp and clean look. So the overall impression is a classic that's also easy to enjoy in modern times.

The 3.8-liter fuel-injected motor is an alloy block V8. These hold a special place in enthusiast's hearts. It's a nice engineering feat to have a smooth-running consumer alloy V8 in the early 1980s when other companies were rather stagnant with innovations. And when you want a classic Mercedes, you also want to see this level of respect. Clean components, tidy wires, and factory decals are all big signs of meticulous care. And the way this one fires up and runs reaffirms the feeling that this two-owner car has had a lifetime thus far or proper respect. It's this level of reverence that keeps a classic Mercedes a great cruiser. Plus, there's a fully independent suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, power steering, and a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. So this is the right classic for when you know what proper grand touring is all about.

This is a true cruiser's classic. You may update the seats, restore the air conditioning, or use the value price as a way to budget for other upgrades and personalization. But that's only if you're looking for perfection. Most of us already see the excellence in a well-built and shining drop-top that has the right level of old-money charm. That's why this Mercedes SL is such an attractive deal. Call today!!!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $399 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. 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/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.

SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
