Used 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class for Sale near Brunswick, GA

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.

The best car I have ever driven, it is quiet,the quality of the leatherwork is fantastic, yet with all this quietness at a touch on the throttle you are off, yet gently so, the suspension stops all the jarsand bumps, I was told by an admirer, after riding in it he was not sure whether to call it the Gentleman's Hot Rod, or The Rocket Ship

If I were to be real egocentric, I'd say the car draws alot of attention from both gearheads as well as the general public and seldom does a day go by where someone doesn't make a positive comment. You know, like wow, doesn't that V12 go really fast, to which I have no comment. I have a set of staggered Lorinser LM-5 rims on it along with cross drilled, slotted and ventilated rotors on both the front and rear which also adds to the car's appeal and stopping power. I wish that the car had about 100 more horsepower, which by today's standards would be about correct for a DOHC 6 liter V12 with variable valve timing, but as I've been told by numerous Mercedes mechanics and affectionadoes, they built the engine to last as opposed to drag racing performance. Oil changes can get expensive when you change every 8,000 miles with 14 quarts of Mobil 1 EP.
