Fun - Attitude and Style
Only 650 miles thus far. Have not pushed the car any but can tell that the performance is exceptional. Can't wait to pass the break-in and really work it out. An absolute pleasure to drive.
Awesome
I am loving this car. I have an older S500 sedan, but the precision with which this performs is awesome. The top drops easily and it feels great to drive in any conditions I have met.

My new baby
I have owned my 2005 SL500 for 1 week now. Traded in my 2002 M3 after its 3rd recall. Gave up some performance for a lot more comfort and luxury, not to mention that sweet drop top. I have gotten 10x's the stares and comments in this than I ever did in the M3. So far, I couldn't be happier with the trade. Traffic is so dense these days, I couldn't use all the power the M3 had 90% of the time.
BUY IT!
BEST CAR YOU WILL EVER OWN. I OWNED CORVETTES IN THE PAST UP UNTIL 2004 WHEN I BOUGHT MY SL500. I KNOW ITS TWICE THE PRICE BUT ITS THREE TIMES THE QUALITY. BASE ENGINE IS QUICK BUT IF YOU WANT ALL OUT PERFORMANCE BUY THE SL600.
Be careful who you buy from!!!!!!!!!!!
Take it to a Mercedes dealer and have the car inspected before you buy from a off brand dealer!!!!!!!!! My problem was with the dealer. I would tell anyone, not to buy a car from them. The dealer has no clue on the up keep of the vehicles and will not go out of his way to help you fix the problem!!!!! Edmunds, made a point to make sure i didn't get my gas card!!!!!
