My 2004 sl500 has many features only now available in newer cars.
My Mercedes Benz is a gorgeous car, very safe car to drive. It gets 22-27 miles a gallon on the freeway and is a very comfortable car to drive and as a passenger as well. It is an expensive car to repair, but if you follow all the instructions for preventive car, it is not too bad. The roadside service number is very helpful for any questions you may have and is available wherever you are. It is a strong and well made vehicle and very reliable. If you can afford to buy any Mercedes, you will not be disappointed. Take care of it and it will take good care of you.

Sl-500 is the car of your dreams.
This is an amazing car, handles nice and tight. Never had any problems with it. Looks great even as old as it is. Tons of power, very solid and feels very safe.
