Used 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class for Sale near Philadelphia, PA

The car is a dream when it works. I bought it for it's classic looks as I love the body style, but after a bit of time, you need more power. Receiving delivery of my SL65 AMG in 2 days. The car is beautiful to drive, a pleasure to ride and makes a statement about it's owner. It's not about flash, but about class. Truly timeless in design and built like a tank. I spent over 20K restoring this car to showroom condition (it was already in mint condition, but for me, it was a labor of love.) I own an Audi A8, an SL65 AMG (delivery soon), an SEL 500, a Ford Explorer, and a Ford Expedition. While all the cars have their purpose in life, the SL 600 is a true dream. If you're considering one vs. the SL 500, I would spend the extra money on the 600. It's worth every penny.

Phenomenal value when bought used compared to the new car price of nearly $100,000 when new in 1997. Stable and comfortable even driving with the top down at over 100 mph. I have the panoramic glass roof which is rare and an expensive option when new, and very nice at night, but not a great choice in a place like Phoenix during the day.

This 1997 320 sl is one of the best Benz's I've ever had. She's perfect for the summer and for fresh spring drives..and even better for fall drives to the country to look at the changing leaves. This car is built like a tank and goes and goes and goes!

Owned it between 1997-2004. A very reliable car and failed to give me any problems. 3200cc engine feels weak for such a heavy car. Hard Top was a drag to remove as it required at least 2 persons to lift the whole hard top before the soft top can be used.

we were in a serious car accident, the car handled wonderful and even though it was totaled, we are alive to tell about it
