ABOUT THIS VEHICLE
Cascio Motors is pleased to offer this 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500 with only 38,644 miles, two personal owners, and a clean CARFAX showing no accidents or damage reported. Finished in Firemist Red Metallic over Java Nappa leather, this SL features a striking color combination that complements its classic Mercedes-Benz styling.
Power comes from a 5.0L V8 producing 302 horsepower, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. This late-production R129 combines smooth V8 performance with the comfort and refinement that define the SL.
Highlights include AMG alloy wheels, a matching removable hardtop, and a power-operated convertible soft top. Inside, burl wood trim, power-adjustable front seats, Bose audio, and automatic climate control create an inviting cabin. Cruise control and a power-adjustable steering column add touring comfort.
CARFAX documents more than 22 years with the original owner, followed by a second personal owner, along with nine service history records, including Mercedes-Benz dealer visits. A distinctive SL500 with low mileage, long-term ownership history, and an appealing presentation. Call Joey Cascio at 480-205-5880 with any questions.
