Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL stands out with its rare five-speed manual transmission and clean California history. The car has been recently serviced, including a new soft top and hydraulic cylinder service in 2025, and clutch components replaced in 2024.
It presents a good value for a classic SL, offering a desirable manual gearbox and a solid mechanical foundation, though it does feature an aftermarket stereo.
Condition
7
The car is in good overall condition for its age, with some wear visible. The replacement soft top and recent clutch assembly, shifter bushings, crankshaft position sensor, battery, spark plugs and wires, and EHA valve replacements in 2024 and 2025 indicate good maintenance. However, the description mentions an 'aftermarket stereo' which can be considered a minor deviation from original, and the mileage is 101k, which suggests some wear has occurred.
