This is why this example looks, and likely performs, as a 30K-mile car. Bid with confidence.

I forgot to mention in my list below that the engine mounts were replaced in June of this year. Happy to answer any further questions!

I have service records going back to 2012 and there are no records for soft top cylinders. The soft top functions as it should (See video). November 6th, 2023 at 6:18pm ESTMotts71 (4) 0Have the soft top cylinders been replaced or serviced?November 6th, 2023 at 11:24am ESTTupeloTwin (0) 0Excellent presentation by the seller here...only thing that could make this one better is a pano top. But not necessary. GLWA!November 5th, 2023 at 2:55pm EST$6,500 bid placed by @CallacabNovember 1st, 2023 at 8:56am ESTCurated_Cars (5) Seller 3Hi everyone, Thanks for viewing my auction listing. This is my '98 SL500 Sport, which I have owned for 3 years. I purchased the car in Los Gatos, CA in October 2020. I was living in the Bay Area at the time, and this SL was sold new in San Francisco. The car has service records dating back to 2012. During my ownership I have maintained the car to a high standard. Recent service includes: -Oil change (Oct 2023) -Rear control arm bushings (Oct 2023) -New OEM Windshield (Oct 2023) -Replacement of cam oiler tubes with aluminum tubes (Plastic tubes were used in the M119 and they break, resulting in a ticking sound at idle - common issue). (2021) -Replacement of front strut mounts (2021) -Valve Cover gaskets replaced - engine is very dry underneath (see underside photos) (Left side - 2023, both in 2021) -New Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires fitted, lots of tread left. (2020) -New headliner installed in hard top (2022) -New hood pad fitted (2021) The soft top operates flawlessly (See video). A/C blows cold. Happy to answer addition questions!
