This car is by far and away the best I have ever had , and it cost just over 4 grand , better than the 2002 model that replaced it, and faster with 25 bhp more on tap..you have to buy the SL55 to be quicker...Build quality is superlative and I really like the sombre interior...This is a drivers car..not a posers car...
The V8 is sublime in its performance and sound..handling is sure footed and stable although can be a bit jiggly on bumpy roads..does not like pot holes...!Bearing in mind the 5 litre V8 will do over 180mph deristricted it is just as happy pottering around in town, on twisties or a long straight motorway run....Brilliant...If anyone can think of a car that does all this as well as the SL500 does and for around 4 grand....your gonna be hard pressed to find it...

Just bought a Mercedes SL500, what a beautiful car that still looks fresh and a dream to drive. You still don't see many of them and taking account these cars sold for between £68-85k......they are now the price of a nearly new boxter (which is seen outside every good hairdressers). SL500.......what more can I say!

I just love this car and all it does. With the top down on a blue skied cold winter's day it is a dream come true as you listen to the urgent burble of that mighty V8 and enjoy the fresh air with cosy toes and a warm bot!
