Legendary basketball player, Michael Jordan, has put his stunning Mercedes Benz SLR 722 up for sale after clocking up just 962 miles in the top class super car.

The basketball start turned businessman is a big fan of sports cars, and it’s rare for him to sell one of his much loved vehicles. Jordan only bought the Mercedes McLaren in 2007 paying $475,000 for sports car from new. Just three years on, the sportsman is hoping his ride will bank him $430,000.

Despite being three years old, the credentials of the Mercedes SLR 722 have not diminished one bit and it is still highly regarded as one of the fastest cars in the world. With a 5.5 litre V8 engine and the ability to hit 0-60mph in just 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 209mph, this Mercedes sports car really packs a punch. Plus, with less than 1,000 miles on the clock, there’s plenty more miles left in this superb super car.

Not surprisingly, this vehicle attracted a great deal of attention when it was put up for sale on the online auction site EBay. The Mercedes sports car is well on its way to achieving the expected price of $430,000 as bids have already hit the $400,000 mark.
