BLACK ON RED 2004 SL 500

This car has it all! Having driven BMW's for many years and being TOTALLY turned off by the new "edgy" Bimmer styling, I decided to go with a Benz to replace my 2000 BMW 540i Sports Sedan. The SL 500 handles better than the 540, is faster and looks BEAUTIFUL from any angle. The interior is also well designed, is comforatble and looks great! It is expensive @ $95,000 but the SL's are legendary and this car will contribute to the 50 year SL legacy.

car is amazing. it is fast yet rides wonderfully.it handles excellently.i have driven it to and from north ca rolina. it is comfortable and you can't keep the speed down.it wants to go.with the top up it is very quiet.with the top down it is outright awsome.i have had 5 sl's including a 1990 when the new model came out. that was good but this is great.

I had a 1998 500 SL before this one. I was never crazy about that car. It was bulky and difficult to drive. This one is sleek, attractive and lots of fun to drive.
