Before you start reading this I just want to tell you one thing... I am very biased in favor of this car... AAAGH!! It's beautiful! This car is the height of luxury in roadster form... It comes as a convertible, so you car drive all day under the sun and the breeze... When the weather starts turning bad, what to do? Well pull up the soft top! Winter passing by? Bolt on the hard top!
Wow... And its a Mercedes so dont expect any faults with this vehicle... Its perfect... There is absolutely nothing to fault about it... It has been out for almost 10 years now and therefore such a car should start to look aged on the streets, but no, the SL's are still looking as good as ever...
They are pretty expensive though, whether you look for them new or second hand! They have managed to retain their value even after many years and with great use... It comes in many variations... The SL280, the SL320, the SL500 + the stuff dreams are made of: The SL600... wow... *sigh*
