by Vivek Nayyar

This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Convertible in Fort Lee, New Jersey, is a single-owner, garage-kept classic with approximately 98,000 miles. Described as driving well and remaining in very nice condition overall, it shows honest age with one notable flaw: rust on the passenger side. A well-preserved V8 grand tourer from the final year of R107 production, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a mostly original, low-mile SL with strong provenance at an accessible price.
