1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL is a used car showing 170,384 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Bornite Metallic with a Saffron interior.

Its first owner, a Swiss resident of Lausanne, ordered it in Bornite Metallic, a purple-brown shade, with saffron leather, and did not skimp on options, memory power seats and cruise control among them. He kept homes in Barcelona, Lisbon and Nyon, and the car went with him, its service booklet stamped in those places.

It comes with a complete dealer service history backed by books and invoices, and Gallery Aaldering describes both the paintwork and the cabin as presenting very well. This is a first-series 500 SL, with the four-valve M119 V8 in its early and most powerful form.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R129, M119) uses the 4,973 cc M119 V8 with two overhead camshafts per bank, four valves per cylinder and Bosch KE-Jetronic injection, rated at 326 PS (240 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 450 Nm at 4,000 rpm, 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and 250 km/h, with a four-speed automatic driving the rear wheels.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 500 SL in the European market

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

170,384 km recorded, against a median of 14,618 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 500 SL, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 500 SL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 500 SL still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Mercedes-Benz market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 500 SL, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
