1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Base review

$90,000 new in 98 and still a dream for under 15k

This car was an absolute legend in its day and still is today. It has become a classic and is one of the only reliable Mercedes ever made. The R129 model is THE one.

1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL500 Roadster review

What a convertible should be!

If you want Mercedes Benz luxury and performance in a convertible package and you want to look good doing it, then this car is for you! The 129 chassis SL500 exudes everything a convertible should be for an affordable price. This model is reliable and a blast to drive! When buying one just make sure the hydraulic cylinders for the convertible top are in good condition.
