Sold for: $ 14,175

Up for auction: a beautiful 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL 500, with fewer than 48,000 miles. Genuine performance meets real luxury in this classic SL500, offered for sale by the second of only two owners. Garage kept and well-maintained, this Benz features an easy 5-speed automatic transmission, and powerful 5.0 liter, V-8, 315 horsepower engine that reaches 0-60mph is just 6.2 seconds, as tested by Road and Track. Both the removable hard top and rare-for-that-year distinctive rich, brown, one-button operation convertible top are original to the car, in great shape, and excellent working condition. And the roomy trunk offers full use of the space regardless of the top configuration. Fully loaded, tan interior, including airbags, roll bar, AC, heated leather seats, ABS, Bose sound system, AM/FM radio, cassette tape, and rear 6-CD changer. The two sets of original keys include remote lock and unlock feature. Fewer than 5,700 model year 1997 SL 500s were sold in the US. And now is your chance to own one of the few! The original owner paid $92,000, but you can get it for much less at the world famous Keith McCormick's Palm Springs Exotic Car Auction!
