Most luxurious sports car I've ever seen
Very powerful, yet rides like a dream. Massive V12 engine coupled with a heavy body gives it a ride like no other convertible. So fun to drive. Gets a lot of heads turning.

Love This Car
Best value on the market! You can feel the quality of this vehicle. Price at almost 100K new and you can fine nice ones under 10K. I'm completely satisfy and highly recommend it. Be sure it was well care for by prior owners and just enjoy.

Weekend MB toy
Purchased this car as a weekend driver. Have only had it for a few months and so far everything works with no problems. The ride is much firmer than I though a MB would be but the previous owner had 18 inch wheels with low profile tires installed. Maybe that accounts for the rough ride. If you are looking at the R129 body, go with a later year. I think the interior styling and features are much nicer and stay away from the extra wide wheels if comfort is a priority!

Vastly superior handling....
...makes us for a little less pep on the take-off, but I just got out of a SLK230 Kompressor, so maybe I shouldn't have expected THAT fast a get-away! I grew up driving Mercedes, and have had everything from a 220D to an E300 2.6, as well as the aforementioned SLK. This is by FAR the best of the bunch! Handles great in all kinds of weather, is a pure joy to drive, and a head-turner as well. Wish it had a retractable roof, but prefer the slightly bigger size to the newest SL body style that does come with that feature. I AM VERY PLEASED!
