2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Just got back from my European delivery of my new SL55. What a car! We had a great time on the autobahn. The car was simply amazing. Smooth and silky right up to the computer- limited top-speed of 155 mph. This car has it all--luxury, acceleration, handling, looks, and a retractable hard-top. I just can't say enough good things about the chassis changes for 2007. Huge improvement over my 2003 SL500.

Full of electronics, this top end Mercedes is a real monster. Acceleration is helped by the traction control system that gives just enough away for a perfect tget start. Quality can not be faulted and the amount of gadgets will keep you entertained for miles. If you like Mercedes-Benz, this one's for you.

5.5L 32-valve V-8 engine 382 hp @ 6,000 rpm 391 lb-ft @ 2,800 - 4,800 rpm

I have owned a few of these cars and they are amazing. By far one of the coolest and most enjoyable cars ever made.

well hell....its a mercedes, thats really all that needs to be said. its a beautiful piece of machinery. styling is can not be matched. I HATE TO SAY THIS... i would rather have a used mercedes and the maintence (which is not that bad) if you just take care of it, than any american car... the caddy has went to shit with all crap (plastic) they put in it. we were out buying my wife a new car and drove the 2020 xt5...how depressing. thats it for my rant... to answer the original question... the sl550 is a good value for the price... you need to do your homework. i decided to buy a 2008 sl550 instead

If you want a fun and spirited car to drive around town - or on the highway, consider most any model of Mercedes SL. There may be some years they were not so great, but generally and model of SL will be fun to own and drive. The handling , performance, quality of construction, etc has made this car a long time winner for Mercedes. There are a few downsides though. If you buy one new - you will get absolutely clobbered on depreciation the first several years. My advice is to consider one that is 5 to 7 years in age. Many of these cars only get about 8k or less of miles per year so a 6 yr old car will likely have less than 50k miles. In Mercedes terms - that is still a young car and you will be buying it at less than 40% of MSRP. The other problem will be maintenance. They may not break often - but when they do - it will most likely be very expensive. Start now and build a good report with a trusted independent garage.

I cannot say enough about overall package the SL550 offers. This is my wife's car but even at 6'7" I can fit comfortably behind the wheel and enjoy every minute of it. It has the power and performance that a long time BMW junkie like me has grown to admire and has a smooth and luxurious ride that rivals my 750Li. Sure you are going to spend more on tires and general upkeep than if you are coming into this from a Honda but for those used to this class of vehicle, there is not a better built convertible on the market. It's timeless style has always turned heads and will continue to do so and long term ownership will prove it's strong residual value above others in the same class.

I like the handling and the interior of this car. The Benz is a serious car that turns heads even on a rainy day. The overall performance is just outstanding and is pretty much unmatched by any other luxury car.

amazing car... really the best car i've ever owned. runs like a champion, looks better and more intimidating than a mustang. cost effective, good mileage, runs with a sweet quiet sound. Best sports car i've ever owned. The germans make them well. Go germany and mercedes benz... yes i love my car....

Words alone can not describe how much fun this car is to drive.It far exceeds any expectations I had of it. With the top up it is like a different car, not t o mention the ABC Sport suspension setting. Whatever the price, it is well worth it, but a 2 or 3 year old car is under priced as far as I am concerned. I sold these cars for over 10 years and I had no clue how much car it was.
