Used 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class for Sale near Chicago, IL

A car guys dream, loads of power plenty of mods available and a bulletproof engine (with proper maintenance). For the price you can’t beat it!

Good German car. Very good to drive. good quality. Problems are code 487 suspension and some electrical problems hwo can cost a lot of money. Chassis and motor,gearbox are very good. After 50 year experience I think this is the best Sports car from Europien.

Performance.. needs more hp on the base model. its a heavy vehicle.. so the power to wt ration is mediocre at best. Appearance.. gorgeous, beautiful line.. Interior is fine.. its a convertible.. so the interior needs to be a bit more durable than what i would expect from a Coupe or a Sedan from Mercedes. Its wonderful to drive.. I love it.. the electronic throttle has a bit of lag between the time you punch your foot down. and the car responds.. about 1 sec or so... But then its is a Luxury sports car and not a Racing roadster. If you need a bit more punch to your drive to go up against the Rice burners.. then step up to the SL55 or SL65.. if you have the deep pockects of course

A nice cruiser. Absolutely love the hard convertible top. However, with the classic German (over)engineering, repairs can get expensive pretty quick.

I’ve previously owned two SL 500 convertibles prior to this purchase. I love the body style and performance and prefer the look of a hardtop convertible.
