In house financing was needed to leave with the car,

In house financing was needed to leave with the car, gotta be transparent with your sales people about pre approvals and what needed to get going.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL 500 Roadster 2D review

Super car

I bought my 2003 mb SL500 in 2023 with 30,000 original miles. It runs excellent has a bullet proof engine and design will always be IN vogue cuz of its sleek design. I got all the previous repair receipts from original owner which is great to know the history. As with any 21 yr old car there may be repairs. I have a great MB independent repair shop called Star Motors in Gainesville Fl who really knows these cars and they fix them right and for less than a dealer. Sure thing’s can go wrong and I have found repairs about 25% more than Honda or Toyota. One has to factor in repairs no matter what. I like the 5.0 engine and one thing is they last! They ride so smooth on the wide tires on the highways and there tight steering. Bose sound system still working great afte all these years. Buy one have it inspected if your worried. There in my view great cars. Depreciated a lot since new at $100,000 out the door. So paying 15k to 20k is a bargain. You’ll love it!

I was looking for an Lexus LX 570,2018,found one on cars.com belonging to this awesome car shop, sent them a mail and I got a great deal from this sales executive called NICK, from my initial deposit to delivery to Jacksonville port this sales executive called NICK made it happen EFFORTLESSLY, there cars are so clean, in and out that even if don’t don’t have what I want in the future I would rather wait for them to get it for me. Any where in the world I don’t think anyone can get a better service offered by NICK and this wonderful Car Shop.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL 500 review

The SL55 AMG remains one of their best!

I've had my '03 SL55 since new. It was one of the 1st US delivery cars. 19 years later it still is a gem. Looks amazing, performance from the 500hp V8 is brilliant. I really haven't had very many problems during my ownership. The worst part is depreciation. Mine was $130K out the door. Since I am not planning to sell, I haven't lost a penny. The problem with depreciation is as they get cheaper to buy, the bottom feeders swoop in, but they can't afford to maintain the $130K car they just bought for $30K. This will leave fewer and fewer good cars. If the SL55 is on your radar, buy the best car you can afford, have it inspected by someone who knows these cars and be prepared to maintain it like the $130K car that it is and it will reward you like very few cars can.

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Base review

A few Recall Items, Dealer Fixed them, all good

This Mercedes was above other Sports Cars I've owned. All of the Power Functions were reliable, good acceleration when needed. Could sustain speed with little, if any effort. Comfortable, no matter how long the trip. Expensive to repair, should something go wrong, is the only drawback..

There is 1 matching car close to your year range.
