Wish you the best of luck with the sale. November 3rd, 2025 at 5:47pm ESTmrmadell (4) Seller 0@quantumorbit I would in turn reference the 1997 SL500 that just sold for over $28,000 with 23,000 miles. Great purchase for your friend non the less even without knowing all of the details of the sale.November 3rd, 2025 at 5:40pm ESTquantumorbit (11) 0I believe price was fair considering current market. This R129 is clean and low mileage, but not a special or limited model. A friend just purchased a clean 39k miles Silver Arrow for $19,600.

Looks to be in extremely nice condition.

We are in the final hours of bidding for this excellent condition SL500. It has been wonderful to drive and very easy to maintain during my ownership. The next owner will not be disappointed. Happy bidding to all and good luck!November 3rd, 2025 at 1:21pm EST$10,500 bid placed by @wildfiresNovember 3rd, 2025 at 1:04pm EST$10,000 bid placed by @quantumorbitNovember 3rd, 2025 at 12:42am EST$7,750 bid placed by @dcookNovember 2nd, 2025 at 6:32pm ESTmrmadell (4) Seller 0@ferrari1971 I pulled the shade out once and it was difficult to retract, so once I got it back in I did not try retracting again since I had very little need for shade. I should also mention that I had UV protection tint added to the pano roof when I upgraded the window tint. To my knowledge, the pano roof is original, it was not an addition after my purchase.November 2nd, 2025 at 6:22pm ESTmrmadell (4) Seller 0@Liviu Two were replaced prior to my purchase (see service records). I have not had any issues during my ownership.November 2nd, 2025 at 5:20pm ESTferrari1971 (0) 0@mrmadell , so do the shades on the pano roof work at all or are they broken. Was this the pano you bought or was this original to the car? Thank You November 2nd, 2025 at 5:20pm ESTLiviu (3) 0Any work involving the hydraulic top cylinders?November 2nd, 2025 at 10:59am ESTthembmarket (691) 0An additional photo of the original wheels has been included in the gallery.November 1st, 2025 at 1:28pm EST$7,500 bid placed by @mdigital21October 31st, 2025 at 8:54pm EST$7,250 bid placed by @RDARCYOctober 31st, 2025 at 7:25pm ESTmrmadell (4) Seller 1@mdigital21 I’m glad you asked! They are real carbon fiber inserts, not wraps. In my opinion, the carbon fiber looks better and more modern with the silver over black interior. Just like the rest of the vehicle, the original wood is in very good condition and included in the sale (see picture for wood grain inserts).October 31st, 2025 at 5:49pm ESTmdigital21 (0) 0What is the story with the carbon - is it a wrap? If so what was shape of the wood before the wrap?

As far as I know there shouldn’t be any issues with reinstalling the original radio. I did not install it myself, as reflected in the service records I had one of our highly rated local radio dealers professionally install the deck.October 28th, 2025 at 10:59am ESTquantumorbit (11) 0Can you post photos of the original wheels? Did you use an adapter for the aftermarket radio, no cut wires so the original radio can be easily swapped back? ThanksOctober 27th, 2025 at 2:01pm ESTmrmadell (4) Seller 1@billapex Thank you for the comment. I wanted wheels that would help it stand out (besides the excellent condition and panoramic roof). I made sure to keep the originals just incase I changed my mind, but I get compliments all the time on the wheels.October 27th, 2025 at 1:38pm ESTbillapex (5) 0I've never seen or heard of that brand of wheel before. Interesting look!October 25th, 2025 at 5:43pm EST$2,000 bid placed by @cory
