10,000 fantastic miles in my SL500
First off, the 2000 SL500 has timeless styling. It is a fantastic ride with the top down as well as with the hard top on. The powerful 5-liter V-8 is as smooth as they come and 0-60 comes up in less than 6 seconds with a quarter mile trap speed of about 100 MPH and 60-0 braking in about 100 feet. The original MSRP of over $86,000 included a $1,000 gas guzzler tax which doesn’t make any sense to me. In my daily driving I average 22 MPG with this 8-cylinder car and on a longer highway drive I can consistently get 27 MPG. That’s pretty darn good for a 320 HP car that weighs over 4,000 pounds. This a real Mercedes - the body structure is tight and solid and while the car is heavy, it rides great and handles well. I’ve seen other SL500s with well over 100,000 miles and the engines and drive trains seem to be bullet proof. The hydraulic cylinder seals for the soft top are the only weak spot in this great, soon to be classic car.
SL600 Finest car every built. Period
It's sad some owners of newer SL's don't understand the true brilliance and build quality of a vehicle that was a true bargain for $142,000.00 in model year 2000. Unquestionably the finest road car in automotive history. Loaded SL600.
Amazing
Amazing car all around...perfect mix of performance, comfort, convenience and luxury. Drives like no other car, with endless smooth V12 power on tap right under your right foot. Truly an amazing thoroughbred.
Great Classic fun car.
The soft top will need repair. Drivers side seat has a worn area. Engine perfect, transmission perfect, breaks perfect. Body exterior has normal wear. Tires and wheels are good. A wonderful fun car to own and drive. The SL's are increasing in value as classics.
