SOLD! - 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Roadster - BARRETT-JACKSON 2023 SCOTTSDALE AUCTION

Lot 772 - Lot 772 - One of only 8,656 sold for the American market for the model year, this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL crossed the block for $97,000 at the 2023 Scottsdale Auction.
This 1989 ‪@MercedesBenz‬ 560SL handsomely marks the final model year for the long-running "R107" Mercedes-Benz SL series. Just 8,565 were sold in the United States for 1989, including this beautifully preserved example, offered from a Mercedes-Benz dealer/collector with 3,096 miles (the title reads mileage exempt). It is handsomely finished in Code 929 Nautical Blue Metallic paint with Code 278 gray leather upholstery, a Code 744 dark blue soft-top and body-color auxiliary hardtop. Carrying an original MSRP nearing $66,000, this 560SL features a long list of standard features, including a 4-speed automatic transmission, anti-theft alarm system, power 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, power steering, a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM cassette stereo unit with power antenna, air conditioning, fog lamps and a tachometer with Quartz chronometer. While U.S.-bound 560SLs delivered somewhat less power than their European counterparts due to the emission-control equipment required for EPA compliance, performance remained brisk, with acceleration from rest to 60 mph in just 8.0 seconds and a top speed nearing 140 mph. Consistent with its rich traditions, Mercedes-Benz constantly refined and updated the R107-generation SL series, which remained in production for nearly 20 years. Powered by a 5.6-liter overhead-cam V8 engine developing 227 factory-rated horsepower, the 560SL was the ultimate expression of the concept, available from 1985 through 1989.

This was a bad purchase IMO he could have gotten one just as clean with maybe 40K miles for 1/3 of the price...he paid 100k for Low mileage...over paid IMO

[@relaxitsme_alex9104]

Agreed. Although mine has 146,000 miles on it. Even high mileage ones are just as fine if they we’re probably maintained

[@cuh720]

@@relaxitsme_alex9104how much if I may ask. Looking at a clean one now for weekend drives and occasional 4 hour trip to lake

[@thomasconnolly7452]

I think some people go to BJ with mad money and just buy what they want. If you have more money that you can live to spend you might as well spend it while you can.

[@petercollingwood522]

Pretty sure he doesnt care.

[@tedmarakas2626]

Way too much BUT there are people out there that money is no object and they want what they see.

[@planeandsimple431]

Manual trans and proper int/exh air flow- car would have been a ripper....

[@louiskovach1964]

JJackson, True but he isn't worried about it..
