This 560SL is a fine example of the model. It has obviously been well taken care of. The owner has properly cared for it. In my search I have not seen a more well taken care of car. The timing just wasn’t right for me. The owner is great to work with. Sep 11, 2023

MB can do no wrong in my opinion...Kept long enough in great shape, a 1989 560SL will pay you back...I'm sure as long as it's kept in superb condition...It will never be a Gullwing, but look at the 190/300/Pagodas etc... Keep it nice..it will pay you back-Jun 28, 2014

I bought this car because I have always thought it was one of the best looking Benz's. It has always been garaged and has low mileage. Maintenance costs are reported high, but if it isn't used, this is not an issue. I drive it around enough to keep the fuel fresh and the battery charged.Jun 15, 2014

I love driving this powerful, reliable,cooll looking Mercedes Benz 560 SL roadster.
It is already more than 20 years old, but still rides like an 5 year old car with only 50,000
miles on it.
I will buy another one and keep itNov 19, 2012

This is a 1983 380SL, this thing didn't have one so i improvised with the 1989 500SL thing. In any case I love this car. It's a convertible that comes with a hardtop you can put on for the winter, the 3.8 engine has enough power yet is quite economical and its just easy to drive.Sep 09, 2011

Many modern cars can out perform the R107 family of roadsters but, none quite have the star appeal and appearance of old money that the R107 roadsters brought to Mercedes. This 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SL is 19 years old, but for a car of that age it had many amazing features including a standard airbag, both hard and soft tops, and many other desirable features. Over all the power was strong for a car from the 1980’s it had a 227 hp 5.6 liter V8 power plant that had a top speed of 137 miles per hour. Its 0-60 time was around 7.2 seconds. (Fairly impressive when you consider that it’s a fairly heavy car.)
Sadly being 19 years old and a Mercedes products maintenance has become a problem and rather costly. Despite the short comings I truly love this car. It is fun to drive and turns heads where ever I go.

I placed an 'Ad' for my 1989 Mercedes 560SL early morning, May 7. It has not appeared by 3PM today. Please advise.
I was very careful to follow placement instructions, yet it did not appear.

My '89 560 SL had been standing for a month and now it won't start.
After my '89 560 SL stood for a month, it wouldn't star. I removed the air cover, tilted the butterfly and sprayed it with starter fluid. After a couple of attempts it backfired and started. I drove ten miles and put 10 gals of gas in It. It idled fast. Again it wouldn't start, just a healthy try with a new battery. It doesn't seem to be getting gas. Why usually and did I make a mistake with the starter fluid
