Awesome car. The 95-97 SL was at the forefron in it's time. A truly enjoyable car to drive and own, regardless of the cost of ownership (whish is still cheaper than a porsche, dancing horse, etc.) I intend to own this vehicle until I see what's on the other side...May 29, 2012

A stylish second car. You need somewhere to stow the hard top in the summer. Boot very small and rear seats for small kids only. It is a heavy car which damps acceleration, but is a solid convertible with minimal scuttle shake.Broad tyres and low centre of gravity means it handles well for such a comfy boulevard cruiser. Not for anyone over 6'2" as the knee room is quite limited. Beautifully smooth 6 cylinder engine and imperceptible auto gear change. Even turns heads now at 15 years of age.Oct 05, 2009

only 400 or so made. they actually had to make the car 4 inches longer to
fit in the v12 engine. Great smooth and nice looking car.Jul 01, 2008

I love this fine automobile. It is very fun to drive and handles very well. It has plenty of power for getting into traffic. I like the hardtop/ soft top feature. It has many extras.Jun 07, 2008

1996 mercedes sl320 alarm
I work in a garage and recently got a 1996 sl320 in and the alarm won't stop going off. It starts and runs and moves but the alarm will not stop blaring. It sounds in cycles. Any ideas on how to stop it?
