1998 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 for Sale in France

This 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 is a used car showing 33,500 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Designo Edison Green metallic with a Black and green interior.

Built to European specification for Sweden, this SL 500 was handed over by a Mercedes-Benz dealer in Anderstorp on 17 April 1998. Its designo order is rare: Edison Green over black leather with green designo inserts, green-tinted carbon on the console and doors, designo carpets, the 2+2 rear seats and original AMG wheels for which the wheel arches were modified.

Mercedes-Benz dealers have serviced it throughout, in Sweden and then in Paris, where a major service including gearbox and differential oil was completed in December 2025. The panoramic hardtop and soft top both work well, and the pouch holds the service book, handbooks, spare keys, invoices and a clean history report.

The car is located in Paris, France.

The Mercedes-Benz SL 500 (R129, M119, 320 PS) uses the 4,973 cc M119 V8 with two overhead camshafts per bank, four valves per cylinder and Bosch ME engine management, rated at 320 PS (235 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 470 Nm at 3,900 rpm, 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and 250 km/h, electronically limited, with the electronically controlled five-speed automatic (722.6) and rear-wheel drive.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz SL 500 in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 priced above or below the European market?

At €134,900, it sits above the median of €87,648 for the 8 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 advertised in Europe in 2026. 75% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 be bought in France and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Paris, France. 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 much did this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €88,668 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €134,900, with no VAT basis stated by the seller, so no percentage comparison is given. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1998 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 compare?

33,500 km recorded, against a median of 35,678 km across the Mercedes-Benz SL 500 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz SL 500 are priced closest to this one?

a 1996 car in the Netherlands at €149,500, and a 2000 car in Italy at €108,500. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

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

L'Art de l'Automobile, a professional dealer in Paris, France. 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 SL 500 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Paris, France, 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.
