"Sweet, Fast, Comfortable , Beast"

I purchased this beast from a friend and he now regrets that he sold it. Since then I put 18" wheels and tires (255/45/18 front & 285/40/18 ZR rated tires)use the best lubricants to keep this beast happy. So far, so good and it can sure fly. I already had it up to 150 mph and it still rides like you are going 80 mph. Safe and quiet! And this beast is 12 years old. Still get looks and asked questions at the fuel station. If you can, obtain a 1992 500 SEL!

The best car back in 1990. Better quality and more reliable then the 2008 model. Right now it has 200k miles and it still runs like a champ.

Benz is the best - esp. 500 sel loaded

I bought a 1992 500 sel for my 25th birthday. It has been my dream car since it came onto the market.The interior was more cush than a brand new BMW or lexus. Premium sound system- bose When I got it back I was blown away by the quality of the sound system. I will tell you after you have driven the best you can only continue to drive the best. 740il BMW, Ls 400 lexus these cars have nothing on the 500 sel. I must say I am totally convinced that the 500 s class of mercedes benz is the best car on the road. Yes you will spent a little more money to drive one , but there is not a day that you will regret it.

Great car, but...

After three years, I still LOVE this car, but... Every time I take it on the road I'm in fear of the impending break- the-bank repair. Depreciation continues at a precipitous rate. Nonetheless, it has been among the most reliable, best performing and better looking cars I've ever owned. Initial purchase price has dropped to where us "ordinary" folk can afford the car; it still takes VERY deep pockets to keep it on the road.

Greatest Automobile Ever

I recently bought this SL a week ago. Owning an SL has been my dream ever since I was younger and now that Im 22 and in my first job, I knew I had to get one. When I was deciding whether to buy it, I was skeptical since it was older and had high miles. But driving this vehicle has been an experience unlike any other Ive had in a car. What can I say, the SL is the Greatest Automobile Ever. Its sporty, luxurious, and fast as all hell. Its a dream come true. AND, I dont care if people think its my dad's car, haha.
