Description

Power comes from the numbers-matching 2.8l inline-six, which is backed by a 4speed automatic transmission. I own this car since 2018. A repaint in the original moss green was carried out in 1991, and the hardtop was refinished at the same time. The previous owner has performed the majority of the maintenance on this car since 1996, which included brake work, a new power booster, new starter, new OE type exhaust. The windshield and seal were replaced while the car was still with the previous owner, and a new black soft top was installed around the same time. The seats and door panels have been reupholstered in Parchment MB-Tex, and the carpets are believed to be original. Air conditioning is present. The wood dash trim was replaced while with the previous owner, and the dashboard was recovered around the same time. This example is equipped with power steering. For more pictures and info contact me. Clean title. Thank you

Frequently asked questions

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz SL is 16+ years old, which moves it into project / collectible / hand-me-down territory. Pricing in this band has more to do with condition and rarity than age. Inspect for rust, frame integrity, and electrical wear — none of which the 1969 fuel-economy spec sheet will warn you about.

This listing is below the typical mileage band for a 1969 Mercedes-Benz — most SLs of this age show closer to 15-20k km/year. Low mileage is a price-supporting attribute but verify the odometer hasn't been rolled back (check service records and inspection-station logs in United States (USA)).

Columbus, Ohio has one of the deeper United States (USA) markets for convertibles. Comparable Mercedes-Benz SL listings here usually number in the dozens, so buyers can be picky. Price competitively, photograph thoroughly, and respond to messages within a few hours — listings that don't get fast replies fall out of saved-search results in this market.

For an older Mercedes-Benz SL like this one, prioritize: timing belt/chain interval (ask for the last replacement receipt), suspension bushings and shocks, brake-fluid condition, transmission service history, and rust on the rocker panels and subframe. A pre-purchase inspection at an independent shop pays for itself many times over at this age.

Insurance in Ohio, United States (USA) is state-regulated, so rates vary more by ZIP / driver profile than by Mercedes-Benz SL alone. As a rough anchor, a premium-tier vehicle in this age band usually quotes between $700-2,000/year for full coverage. Liability-only is much cheaper for older / lower-value listings.

Gasoline pricing in United States (USA) is moderate. For this SL, expect monthly fuel cost to scale roughly with kilometers driven and the manufacturer-rated economy minus 10-15% for real-world conditions.

This is a private-seller listing. For a premium-tier purchase like this Mercedes-Benz SL, the buyer usually pre-arranges financing with their own bank or credit union — get pre-approval before contacting the seller. The seller will typically wait for funds to clear before signing over the title.

In Ohio, United States (USA), you'll need the original title signed over by the seller, a bill of sale, a current emissions / safety inspection where required by Ohio, a VIN-match verification, and proof of insurance to take possession. The state DMV or motor-vehicle agency processes the transfer; many do it the same day.

This is a private-seller listing — an individual selling their own Mercedes-Benz SL, not a business. Treat it like any other person-to-person purchase: meet in a safe public location (a police-station parking lot is the gold standard), verify the seller's ID against the title before any money changes hands, and never wire funds before seeing the vehicle in person.

A 16+ year-old Mercedes-Benz SL is past its depreciation trough — pricing from here is condition-driven, not age-driven. Documented examples of desirable trims can appreciate; rough examples stay flat or depreciate as parts availability tightens. Set the price by recent comparable sold prices, not by asking prices.

On a premium-tier listing, negotiation room varies more by the seller's hold-time than by buyer pressure. Ask when the listing went live — anything past 30 days usually means the seller is open to a 7-10% reduction. Also inspect service records: missing entries are a legitimate price-reduction lever.

If the seller still owes a bank or finance company against this Mercedes-Benz SL, the title has a lien recorded. Do NOT hand over funds before the lien is released. Standard practice in United States (USA): buyer's bank pays the lender directly for the loan balance and pays the seller for the remainder, with the lender's release letter arriving alongside the new title. Verify the lien status through whatever public registry United States (USA) uses (DMV / DETRAN / Registro Civil / etc.) before agreeing to a purchase price.
