2002 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 158 votes
I have owned this beautiful classic since 2010. It was originally purchased on lease and spent its early life in Carmel by the Sea! Always garaged or under a carport and covered. I would love to garage this drivers dream and keep it to restore to a 100 point show car someday but I bought a new everyday driver and the driveway. carport. and garage are full. Some light hail damage. metallic paint is excellent with minimal rock chips and  scratches.  
Built in the tradition of the original Mercedes Silver Arrow race cars. the 2002 SL500 Silver Arrow is a purists sports car. The last of the legendary R129 roadster platform. these 1400 cars are the last of the hand built Mercedes roadsters with both soft and hard tops.

The Silver Arrow Limited Edition SL500 and SL600 were specially trimmed R129s introduced as run-out 2002 models to cap the R129s' career prior to the release of the new-for-2003 R230 SL500. The cars were so named to commemorate the historic Silver Arrow Mercedes-Benz racing cars of decades past.

The SL500 SA was powered by the standard 5. 0-liter V-8 while the SL600 SA was equipped with a 6. 0-liter V-12. Both were painted a special dusty metallic shade – “Silver Arrow” – with unique 6-spoke 18-inch modular alloy wheels. The SAs had several splashes of aluminum exterior trim. a brushed aluminum instrument cluster. and aluminum shift gate. pedals and front grille. Bi-Xenon headlights were standard. as was a polished stainless steel exhaust tip.

The interiors were modestly different: The SL500 SA had two-tone grey and black Nappa leather seats. door panels. steering wheel and shifter. with polished grey-smoke walnut trim; the V-12. an all black-leather interior with silver stitching. Naturally. there are a few discrete Silver Arrow badges sprinkled about. though nothing over the top. The Silver Arrow models are otherwise fully loaded. There are no other performance enhancements. per se. other than factory cross-drilled brake rotors – front and rear on both models – and the flip-up wind blocker wears some chrome trim not on the standard edition SL's blocker. With just 1. 00 SL500 SAs built worldwide and only 100 of the 12-cylinder SL600 SAs produced. this truly was a limited edition. They sold quickly – often for more than sticker price.
