2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500 R129 — AMG Styling Package, Silver Metallic, 42k Miles
About this vehicle
Mercedes-Benz unveiled the R129 at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1989, then refreshed the line for both the 1996 and 1999 model years. This 2001 SL500 sits near the tail end of that run — Brilliant Silver Metallic over Grey Nappa leather, carrying the AMG Styling Package straight from the factory, with 42,029 miles on the clock. It's being offered in Florida and comes with a body-color removable hardtop.
Brilliant Silver Metallic works well with the AMG Styling Package, which brings a revised front spoiler, side skirts, and a rear apron to the equation. Staggered AMG wheels wear recent Michelin tires. A headlight washer system is fitted, the black power soft top pairs against the color-matched removable hardtop, and the seller states the paint is original and factory-applied, presenting in excellent condition. Detailed images appear throughout the gallery, and a CARFAX report is on hand noting minor damage.
Grey Nappa leather fills the cabin. Burled walnut wood trim runs throughout, and the electrically adjustable front seats carry memory functions for both driver and passenger. There's an auto-dimming interior mirror, a garage door opener, a premium sound system, and cup holders. The seller reports the air conditioning blows ice-cold, with every gauge, electronic, and accessory functioning properly.
Under the hood sits a 5.0-liter M113 V8, factory-rated at 302 HP and 339 lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA's VIN decode confirms it: a 5.0L, 8-cylinder Convertible/Cabriolet. Electronic Stability Program is equipped. Service records show front brakes replaced in 2022 at 37,714 miles, followed by an oil change at 37,840 miles.
The sale includes a clean title, owner's manuals, a tool kit, a spare tire, a wind deflector, and the removable hardtop.
