Driving it in city traffic is like having a domestic house cat sitting on you lap purring. Drop the hammer on the open road and it transforms into a Bengal Tiger.

An awesome machine. Had a 1998 SL500 and loved it. Amazing that Mercedes could improve on an almost perfect car.

I have had the car for three years and it has about 104,000 miles on it. I’m the fifth owner and paid 10 percent of the original sale price (I found the original window sticker in the owners manual). I have experienced the same issues with the Active Body Control suspension as well and decided to delete it in favor of coilovers, the system had not been maintained and it would have cost more then what I paid for the car to correct it plus it is very unreliable. This is not a daily driver so the drain on the “convenience battery” is taken care of with a trickle battery charger. I will say that for a 19 year old car, I get compliments every time I drive it. Everything works on the car, it rides great, 302hp with a very smooth 7 speed transmission and surprisingly comfortable for a 6’2” guy like myself, it’s even easier to get into the car with the top up then my friend’s 2003 Corvette. I will add, do due diligence before buying one, I did not and I had a sick feeling for awhile because of the ABC suspension (the entire front end of the car sat on the ground for a month), also have a trusty mechanic if you do not like working on cars, MB dealership was helpful but expensive for a simple fuse issue the one snd only time that I have had the car in the shop, I now watch a lot of YouTube about working on the car (I.e. I installed the coilovers with my brothers help) Amazingly the navigation is still supported, for a price naturally, but I have opted to change the radio for a touch screen with sync for the phone. It is a beautiful car, over engineered, mechanically sound but understand you are maintaining a $95K+ luxury roadster that is going on 20 years old.

Great car. My first Mercedes and my first convertible. Great torque and handling. A real eye catcher. Have only had it for 2 weeks and have had multiple comments on its good looks.
