This 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is finished in Mineral Green with a Java fabric soft top over Java leather, and it is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Additional features include a body-color factory hardtop, 17″ AMG five-spoke wheels, and a Bose audio system with a CD changer. The car was sold new by Caliber Motors of Anaheim, California, and remained registered in the state through its acquisition by the seller in early 2021. Service in preparation for the sale has included replacement of the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, hood insulation pad, tires, and brake pads and rotors.
The car is reportedly one of 447 examples finished in Mineral Green (814) between 1998 and 2001. Features include color-matched lower body cladding, fog lights, headlights with washers and wipers, and a Java-colored soft top, the hydraulics for which were reportedly serviced in 2016, although no service records are available.
Five-spoke 17″ AMG wheels wear Sumitomo HTR A/S PC3 tires that were mounted in April 2021 when the brake pads and rotor were also changed. The car is equipped with Electronic Stability Program traction control. A vibration is said to be noticeable when driving at approximately 60-mph.
The interior features power-adjustable seats trimmed in Java Nappa leather (234A) along with matching carpets and rubber floor mats. Appointments consist of dual front airbags, a wind deflector, and a factory Bose audio system with a trunk-mounted CD changer.
Silver-ringed instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and a digital odometer showing 88k miles.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, and engine oil were changed in preparation for the sale along with two engine breather tubes and the hood insulation pad. A head gasket was reportedly replaced in 2012 at 55k miles.
Factory books and manuals are included in the sale along with one remote key, a trunk-mounted spare wheel and tire, and a paint chip repair kit.
