  You should own a V12 once in your life! - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By BillC - December 10 - 3:00 pm

  Just bought this beautiful SL600 Sport, all black. With only 52k miles it drives like a new car! After considerable research, I went with the 48 valve V 12 because the newer bi- turbo versions are much less reliable and have far more plastic. If you drive one, you will fall in love with it. Driving reasonably I am getting 17 mpg with 70% around town, 30% highway, what a nice surprise for a 400 hp V-12. These cars had 1 man who built each engine and the smooth delivery of power has to be felt to be believed. I know they are expensive to repair, the drive is worth it though. Awesome stereo with Sirius radio (highly recommended). Just driving the car feels special.~$125k when new. A bargain now!

  Nothing Else Compares, Nothing - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By John-Rodger - February 20 - 2:20 pm

  I am the original owner of this car, my last SL I kept for 16 yrs; I plan to keep this car, hell I plan to be buried in this car. It is a head turner, a turn taker, nothing is safer. After 10 years I still think wow every time I climb in and crank it up. I dont even look at other cars on the road, and I have owned them all. PS In ten years, aside from regular service the car has been in the shop ONCE

  not to be missed - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Syl Stys - November 22 - 2:10 pm

  I owned a 1956 190SL while stationed in Germany when I was a much younger man and always wanted another one. Well I couldnt afford that 56 now but the modern engineering, comfort and style of my "new" SL make up for it. Sitting in this one I can see and feel the DNA connection to that beautiful 56. You will not regret owning and driving this masterpiece. Shop wisely, do your homework, then enjoy. Very affordable.

  Wow what a dfference - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Ray Maselli - October 22 - 9:33 am

  The SL500 is a thrill to drive. Its fast, responsive and very comfortable. I had a 560SL 1989 before this and it was great but this car is superb in every way. Pricey to repair but the ride and fun makes it worth it. I expect to get many good driving years out of it. After all, it is a Mercedes.

  SL500 - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Robert Reese - September 14 - 2:00 am

  The SL500 is a dream vehicle. The power to weight ratio makes it a thrill to drive. Although it is a sports car it drives like a touring sedan. I can drive for hours and not feel tired of driving, like in others vehicles I have driven. It is a stylish vehicle that always turns heads. The engineering of the vehicle never ceases to amaze me. The only drawback has been the storage of the hardtop while not in use (9 months in New Orleans). The design engineers have corrected that in 2002, but I still love the body style of the 1998.

  MBs Finest! - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By MThompson - September 7 - 5:16 am

  This is the first Mercedes I have owned and I do not believe I will ever own another type of vehicle. Both interior and exterior design are excellent and the overall quality is exceptional. The handling and reliability far exceed any expectations. This is a true drivers car! Definitely worth the price! This car is rock solid - built like a tank but handles like a sports car - feels very safe. The mechanics of the soft- top and ease with getting the hard-top in place are a true testimate to Mercedes fine engineering capabilities.

  The SL to own right now. - 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By TwoPynts - June 27 - 6:06 pm

  Drives like a dream with the looks and comfort one would expect from a high end Merc. I always feel like a million bucks driving this car. Great handling and easy to drive. What is not to like about this thing?!? With the latest body style now around for a few years, prices have really dropped on these cars and they are well worth the money. I for one love the stock stereo.
