2002 MERCEDES-BENZ SL500

OVERVIEW

This 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Silver Arrow convertible sends power from a 5.0-liter V8 through a five-speed automatic transmission to the rear 18-inch wheels. Features include the AMG Styling Package, a body-color removable hardtop, a six-disc CD changer, maple wood interior trim, heated seats, and Xenon headlights. Finished in Silver Arrow Metallic and equipped with a reportedly new black soft top over a black and silver Nappa leather interior, this R129 SL500 is available now from the selling dealer with a LastVIN.com VIN breakdown, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear Massachusetts title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The Silver Arrow Metallic exterior is equipped with the AMG Styling Package, which adds exclusive lower bodywork at both ends and the sides. Other features include fog lights, Xenon headlights, a removable body-color hardtop with a glass rear window, and a single exhaust outlet. The selling dealer believes the fully lined, power-operated black soft top was replaced by the previous owner, but does not know if the hydraulics were replaced. As the photos in the gallery to the right show, there is visible damage to the lower front fascia on the driver's side.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

This Mercedes-Benz convertible sits on Silver Arrow-specific 18-inch wheels wrapped in 245/40ZR18 front and 275/35ZR18 rear Sumitomo tires. Three of the wheels show signs of curb rash.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The cabin is furnished with heated, power-adjustable black and silver Nappa leather seats with memory settings, a matching steering wheel, maple wood trim, power mirrors and windows, an AM/FM radio with a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer, and automatic climate control with air conditioning. The selling dealer notes the driver-side door trim and the wood trim on the center console needs repair.

INTERIOR - GAUGES

An engine-turned bezel surrounds a 160-mph speedometer, 7K-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, fuel economy, and oil pressure. The six-digit digital odometer shows 42,013 miles, which is in line with the latest mileage figure on the CARFAX report.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

Under the hood is a 5.0-liter V8. A five-speed automatic transmission delivers the engine’s output to the road. The selling dealer states the car was serviced and given an oil change in December 2022.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The power braking system is equipped with drilled rotors and silver calipers. In June 2020, the front and rear pads and rotors were replaced, according to the CARFAX report.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The CARFAX report starts in February 2002 and shows an accident-free vehicle history across two owners in Massachusetts. A LastVIN.com VIN breakdown comes with the purchase of the car. If requested, the selling dealer will provide a replacement owner's manual as part of the sale.
