I have owned my SL 550 for about 18 months so I have driven it in all conditions. I have to say it is absolutely the finest car I have ever owned. When the top is up, it is as quiet as they come. I often conduct handsfree conference calls in it and people think I am at the office it is so quiet. When the top is down, oh man, it is awesome. The car is plenty fast in the SL550 trim but if you need a rocket ship, go for the SL55 or 65. But be careful, learn how to drive a car with that kind of power! The ride is smooth and acceleration is excellent. I live in a big city where the interstates are competitive. I have all the power I need in this car. I would highly recommend it!
Fun Fancy and Frivolous

This is my third SL-class car I have owned in the past 3 years. I would have never gotten an SL55 except for the large price mark-down from the sticker since this is a lease return. This car obviously has the most power (510 hp), and thus the first time I floored the pedal, I said "WOW." This car does move. The motorized hard top is definitely cool, and makes the car versatile. It is also luxurious inside. Finally this car is expensive. Thus fun, fancy and frivolous.
You’d have to be crazy.

Sometimes in life, we all roll the dice. I did because I really wanted an SL Class Mercedes. A pre-owned SL can be purchased for less than $20,000. Pretty enticing. So I took a chance and bought a stunning low mileage 2007 SL550 AMG. Dealer serviced since new with no accidents and in gorgeous cosmetic condition. Within 2 months the ABC system suffered a catastrophic failure. The transmission began to slip and hesitate between 1st and 2nd at low speed. Also, within a couple of weeks of gentle daily driving, the suspension has begun to make a nauseating creaking sound, and the roof has started rattling. At this point, without fixing the suspension creaking or roof rattles, it has cost over $7000 in ABC and drivetrain repairs within 60 days. You may be thinking, that I bought a lemon. Or, you might be thinking, this very well could happen to me. What I do know, if ya’ll are ichin’ for a beautiful pre-owned Mercedes SL, be warned. Go ahead, roll the dice.

Everything you want in a fun get away car! I thought I would use it for weekend jaunts through the countryside with the top down, and I do, however it turned or to be my daily driver. I hate seeing the miles rack up so quickly but I can't keep from driving it everywhere! It has without a doubt the most comfortable seats I've found. The handing is great in all situations and of course the awesome power never gets old. It never fails to turn heads no matter where I go.

Just finished a 2,000 mile trip in our newly acquired 07. We drove it from Illinois to Oklahoma City, a trip that had us passing over interstate highways at 75 MPH and rolling through the backroads in Oklahoma. This amazing beast transport the passengers with a feeling of swift, solid sure footedness and capability. The engine is ferocious- at 100 MOH it is barely breathing hard. At more down to earth levels of speed it gets over 27 MPG. That's right, we saw 27.8 MPG indicated and our math upon fillup confirmed the number. The seats are nothing short of nirvana in terms of features and adjustability. The Sat Nav works well and Sirius Radio is a wonder. The SL 550 is simply word class.
