This Mercedes-Benz R129 SL got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500 has 40k miles, and it has spent most of its time registered in Florida and Texas. The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over gray Nappa leather and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include a removable hardtop, a black soft top, 18″ five-spoke AMG wheels, fog lights, power-adjustable seats, a Bose sound system, and automatic climate control. This R129 is now offered by the selling dealer at no reserve with a Pennsylvania title.
