Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL280 R129 convertible is offered with 114,965 miles and has been with its current owner for 22 years. It features a metallic black exterior with a mushroom leather interior, rear seats, a contrasting hardtop, and an upgraded stereo system; the car's long MOT and service history suggest it's been well-maintained, though buyers should inspect it personally due to the "sold as seen" condition.

Condition
6
The car description indicates that it is "clearly well looked after by the previous owners" and has an extensive service history, which suggests that it has been maintained to a reasonable standard. However, it is being sold as seen without any warranty implied or given and the listing recommends that potential buyers inspect the car in person, which implies that there may be some wear and tear or minor issues that need to be addressed. Therefore, a rating of 'Good' seems appropriate.
