"I bought a 2001 500sl that had been babied throughout its life. Just broken in at 36K mile. Biggest suprise was when I stepped on it and the front end started to come up a bit! Two small problems. I think the rear visibilty could be better. The suspension lowers a bit when the engine is switched off. If you have parked so that the front spoiler is over a curb or one of the concrete blocks in a parking lot it will lower down onto the block. Then you have to put blocks behind the front wheel to back up and raise up the car off the concrete block. All in all I love this car!"
