28k-Mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

Description

“The 560SL is the most refined iteration of the R107 series—luxurious, powerful, and unmistakably Mercedes.” Motor Trend praised the 560SL, and for good reason: it represented the pinnacle of a roadster lineage that began in 1971.

Introduced in 1986 and produced through 1989, the 560SL was engineered specifically for the North American market. Beneath its elegant lines sat a powerful 5.6L V8 delivering 227 horsepower, paired with a smooth four-speed automatic transmission. This combination offered a perfect balance of performance and sophistication. Standard equipment included both a removable hardtop and a soft top, along with advanced safety features for its era — such as anti-lock brakes and a driver’s airbag.

With its timeless design, exceptional build quality, and effortless ride, the 560SL became a symbol of 1980s prestige and style.

This final-year example is finished in Smoke Silver with Dark Brown leather upholstery, wears a Dark Brown soft top, and is currently showing just under 28k miles.

This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is offered with a color-matched hardtop, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Pennsylvania title in the selling dealer’s name.
