    I purchased the SL500 from the original with 35k miles. I had a 1998 911 Porsche which I regret selling until I purchased this 2004 SL500. Reasons why: the hard top, the comfort, the sound system, and the look! I would not buy a new one, because of the minor changes, plus the money that I save. Its A great car to buy used because they are very reliable and lots of fun to drive. If you do buy an SL500 get an extended warranty because they become costly as they grow old!

  • The new 2004 MZB 500SL - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    I just bought the new 2004 SL after having previosly owned an SL back in 1993. I am very impressed with this cars handling. I have driven the BMW from sports car to 2002 745i and believe it or not this SL handles nicer than any BMW Ive ever driven. It is solid, quiet, stunningly powerful and fun! I got the sport package which I highly recommend. The controls are easy compared to BMWs "I"-drive.Add up all the add ons and your talking an easy $100,000, but i think this one is worth every penny.

    MY 2004 SL500 IS A WONDERFUL AUTOMOBILE BUT PRICED 30% HIGH. THIS IS NUMBER 7 SINCE 2000 AND IVE LOST MONEY ON ALL 7. HOW ABOUT GETTING A LITTLE HELP FROM THE DEALER.

    I love the ride. The car gets so much attention from other drivers, so be warned this car is a head turner! The engine is amazing when put into manual. Love it!

    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.

    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.
