1996 Mercedes-Benz Unknown

The 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL280, a member of the esteemed R129 series, represents a perfect blend of style, luxury and performance. This particular model, finished in a striking red exterior over a sumptuous tan leather interior, is a visual and mechanical treat for automotive enthusiasts and SB are thrilled to list this SL280 on our platform. Under the bonnet, the SL280 houses the M104 2.8-liter inline-six engine that produces just under 200bhp, delivering a smooth and responsive driving experience. The M104, known for its reliability, pulls strong with no unusual noises or vibrations while the 5-speed automatic gearbox shifts seamlessly. The steering is precise, and the suspension system, designed for comfort and control, handles road imperfections with ease. Visually, the paint appears to be in very good condition, with a deep gloss that highlights the car's elegant yet sporty silhouette. The bodywork is clean, free from significant dents or scratches, suggesting careful ownership throughout this SL's life. This model comes equipped with an array of features that were advanced for its time, including power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, and a premium audio system. Safety features such as ABS brakes and dual airbags were also standard. The owner - this vehicle's 10th - is a true enthusiast who is reluctantly selling this SL because it is surplus to their requirements.
