Freshly listed and ready for its next owner is this 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500, a timeless two-door luxury roadster finished in a classic black exterior over a rich tan interior. Designed as a flagship grand touring car, the SL500 delivers an unmistakable presence along with the comfort, craftsmanship, and prestige Mercedes-Benz is known for. Power comes from a 5.0L V8, offering strong, smooth acceleration and an effortless cruising experience that made the SL one of the most respected luxury convertibles of its era. With its refined ride and solid build quality, this SL is ideal for someone looking for a stylish weekend cruiser or a rewarding project with serious upside.
This SL500 shows 110,000 miles, which is reasonable for a well-engineered Mercedes V8 of this generation. The car runs and drives, and the power soft top is fully functional. It is priced accordingly due to a transmission solenoid issue — the vehicle currently drives but shifts only through the lower gears, sometimes grabbing additional gears and other times remaining in first. Because of this, it is being offered well below market value, making it an excellent opportunity for a knowledgeable buyer or enthusiast looking to restore a luxury icon at a fraction of the usual cost.
Priced at just $4,900, this SL500 is far below the typical $8,500–$11,000 range for comparable 1999 models in proper working order. Opportunities like this don’t come around often — whether you’re a Mercedes enthusiast, a mechanic, or someone looking for a high-end convertible with huge potential, this one is worth a serious look.
