Vehicle description
Exceptional 1997 SL600, only 1100 of which only 900+ were imported in 1997 this vehicle is the 107th made that year. The SL600 was hand made in Stuttgart and imported to North America, and Australia. The most highly sought after year for the R129 SL600 is 1997 for several reasons of which I will only highlight a couple, this is the first year for the 5speed transmission which was a great improvement, the interior was changed dramatically, double buck stitching to dash, seats and door panels, perforated leather used on seats, the air conditioner and stereo were changed and updated, it also was the last year of the R129 models to be Daimler exclusive as Mercedes bought Chrysler and all further Mercedes were then designated as Daimler/Chrysler until 2008/9. Pioneer DVD/CD Blu tooth stereo, focal and JL speakers and alpine high end amp. Chrystal turn signals, Xenon Head lamps New Burl/Leather Brabus steering wheel, custom front grill and many more upgrades to numerous to list. Car will also come with OEM stereo, side lights and grill. This is a no reserve auction! !

One last note, yes you may find other R129 SL600"s for less however, please take into consideration that these cars require upkeep, with this one you know all has been taken care of by Mercedes Benz and that the major items have been replaced and serviced as they should be. The car is ready for any drive one could think of.
P.S. Haggerty placed the SL600 on the must have list for collectors and estimates that they will hit the stratosphere in price in the next few years as the Gullwing, pagoda and other high end mercedes have already.
