Bought my 1999 SL 500 with only 66,000 miles on it for $10,000....what a deal for such a fun car to drive. Very reliable too and solid as a rock, you feel so secure in it and it's as fast as you want it to be. Get the clear top if you can, that makes it fun with the hard top on. Air is freezing cold and I've had no problems with it the year I have had it.

I paid $45,000.00 for 1999 Sport SL 500. The car is outstanding handles like a dream. Maybe in three years I can get 2003 SL500 for the same price? We shall see in 36 months.

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.
Pure joy

I have owned a lot of luxury cars but the SL tops them all. This car is everything you may want it to be and more. A roadster in a class of its own.

Just picked the car up last week. My second MB. First was a 2000 CLK 320 Cab. Loved that one. This one is an absolute monster! Perfect blend of sport and luxury! The car has unbelievable road manners. Will give you more than enough power to pass just about anything on the road while still giving me that classic MB experience. Much better suited to my driving habits compared to my CLK. I hope this thing lasts a very long time...I'm expecting it to.
