Used 1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL for sale in Lavergne, TN

The right care, the right investments, and the right price all come together on this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL. It makes for a sharp-looking classic that upholds the upper-class image you want in a Benz. And yes, it even comes with two tops.

The factory-correct dark blue looks quite good on this car. It's a timeless color only made better on an example that has the impression of respect from well-fitting panels and a deep glossy finish. As you look over the whole car, you'll see signs of a thoughtful presentation. For example, the folding soft top has a nice appearance, and it's a particularly sharp combo against the dark blue paint. Plus, the color-matched hardtop is a sought-after accessory because it gives this a stylish coupe-like profile. The factory chrome bumpers and trim look good, and this one also has an extra touch of shine. The full-length silver pinstripe and bright wheel arch accents are tasteful additions. And the genuine wire wheels are a great way to give this some premium distinction.

Even on a car with two tops, we bet your favorite way to enjoy this Mercedes is with no roof at all. After all, you get the great look of deep tan against the dark blue exterior. Plus, the condition of the leather bucket seats, wood trim, and carpeting will proudly have you sharing this one with the world. Even the trunk looks good, and there's ample space for your weekend luggage. You have good factory features like power windows, cruise control, and provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) There are also nice added extras, like an AM/FM/CD stereo for upgraded driving music and the wind blocker for a more comfortable time with the top down.

The 3.8-liter fuel-injected V8 under the hood has a very stock look, and its exceptionally clean on a car where the odometer reflects the full mileage. It shows signs of the right maintenance, and the way it fires up and runs reaffirms this well-kept feeling. On the road, the four-speed automatic shifts with authority all the way into overdrive comfort. The fully independent suspension understands a nice balance between luxury and performance that's entertaining on a twisty country road. So this is the perfect weekend getaway car. In fact, the miles are effortless thanks to features like power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes.

Complete with owner's manual packet and the original warranty card, this classic Mercedes SL really hits the mark for style and substance. It's the kind of premium car where they will all suspect you paid far more for something of this caliber. Call today!
