Description

This Mercedes-Benz SL500 delivers a supremely composed grand touring experience, pairing a smooth 7-speed automatic with a powerful 5.5 V8 that sings on open roads. The car’s planted chassis and active body control make long journeys effortless, while the refined ride and direct steering keep it engaging when the pace picks up. The low mileage and careful servicing history add reassurance to the driving experience.

Inside, the SL feels like a true luxury roadster: ergonomic seats, quiet cabin and thoughtful refinements ensure comfort for two on extended trips. Practical touches such as a power boot lid and a comprehensive history file make ownership straightforward and enjoyable.
