Used 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class for sale near Cincinnati, OH

I spoke with Doc, what a great guy! He is very passionate about selling cars and also the people who he sells them to. I would highly recommend this dealership!! And if I could give Doc 10 stars I definitely would!!

This is the 2nd SL class I've owned, so ill try to keep this objective. These are state of the art vehicles with features way ahead of their time. They are built straight forward and repairs can be undertaken by the owner more than one would think. If you can find one in a salvage yard, you can learn how things come apart with little risk of damaging your own. The value of the experience sometimes outweighs the time it takes to learn. If that makes any sense... This car is easy to love, who wouldn't? Neck breaking acceleration, sexy good looks, the way it cradles its occupants, and surrounds them with luxury appointments unmatched by other maker's offerings. The feel is rock solid at the wheel and pedals, despite how heavy the car feels. More than enough ponies, to confidently pass or merge, and brakes that could stop a semi-tractor. The gauges are well placed, and logical information comes at your finger tips with the multi-function steering wheel. The cockpit seating seems to have an Infinite number of positions, and the easy exit feature will undoubtedly preserve the leather of the lumbar lobe. Controls are semi-ergo friendly; however the roll bar and hard top controls would be better positioned anywhere besides directly under your elbow. Concealing the roll bar up/down switches beneath the top control, does not demonstrate forethought by MB engineers. Driving the car is truly exhilarating, top up or top down. The sound remains with BOSE, and a disc changer allows for more choice. Staggered wheels are staple with the MB roadster, and improved with 35/40 series width adding to the nimble agility already demonstrated by the car. So... What's to hate? Depreciation! I feel sorry for the 1st owners of an SL. At the same time i envy that they can take it in stride. If it were not for these brazen buyers, i would never be able to afford this car. Repairs and failures... Fortunately, I've got advanced wrenching ability or this car would keep me in hock up to my neck. Although the hard top is a mastery of elegance in motion, it is delicate and prone to failure. The deck lid/boot cover/trunk lid, can present quite a challenge when, (not if), the latch fails. There is literally no way to get at the repair w/o creating damage in the course of gaining access to the latch assembly. I ended up designing and fabricating a tool that can reach the manual release levers from the rear of the cockpit. This body style incorporates a fuel cel that has an internal problem. A baffle becomes disconnected and creates an obnoxious clunk at the storage bulkhead. The fix is said to call out 18+ hours of tech time to remedy. (Ouch!) The bottom line is: you take the good with the bad, and hope that you can DIY when the time comes for repair. Till that time...enjoy the love.

I had a great experience at Jake Sweeney Auto. They are a class at and Justin is a great salesman. I will send people and let them have the experience that I had. Thank you Jake Sweeney Auto.

Its weird to read bad reviews on this car, specifically the sl55. Im on my third one. All used. My latest purchase was October 2019. a 2004 sl55. daily driver. I am second owner. Top up and down every day. 95 south Miami traffic and heat. She's been perfect. You just need to find one that the service was kept . The suspension is only a problem when neglected. and now with all the parts and certified techs (private) its a $4,000 fix. Or , do like some others and go coil over for under a grand. I would get in mine and drive anywhere with out any hesitation.

I found the perfect Porsche Cayenne at this dealership. Even though I had to fly to Cincinnati to pay for it and drive it back to Arkansas it was worth it. My sales person, Isaiah, was a pleasure to work with and the car is just wonderful!

The car is very clean and runs good. Rides very good and very thing works . Good car to have fun in and for summer trips.

Such a great customer service that this dealership provides to their customers almost no one else does. I highly recommend them to all of my friends and family and everyone, who's on the market for a great used vehicle, that's the place!

This is my dream car . It is fun and sexy and built for curves . The top tucks into the trunk with the touch of a finger ,so you can drop the top at a red light .

Johnny Combs was our sales consultant and he helped us tremendously! We weren’t too sure of what car we wanted but he was able to help us find the perfect fit. The whole process was surprisingly fast and was able to drive out of the lot with an amazing car! Everyone was friendly and very accommodating! Thank you Johnny for all your help!

I found a museum quality 2004 SL500, perfect inside and out from top to bottom..Silver with grey interior, Mercedes really puts xxxx good paint if not the best quality paint you can find and their silver is just stunning.. Came with upgraded 20” AMG wheels which really make it pop.. The hardtop convertible is amazing and nothing more exhilarating hitting 89-100 plus MPH with the top down.. A real head turner and compliment catcher and people think it’s a $100,000 car, if it still looks new like mine does.. It’s so nice driving day and at night with the top down and I’ve driven 360 miles straight with the top down one warm sunny day.. The car is gorgeous with the top up or down and there aren’t a whole lot on the road which gives you some exclusivity and a degree of sophistication.. Expensive to work on? Yes, try to DIY the minor things, find a good German car INDY for the rest.. I did replace the dreaded ABC pump but all the other items were typical things you’d need to repair, service or replace on any car that age with that mileage.. I just love it, a lot of bang for your buck, it’s extremely well built, it’s very heavy, built like a bank vault and using the best quality materials.. The depreciation is a god send and has put me behind the wheel of a car that is very high quality that I couldn’t afford when it was new.. I’ve owned 5 BMW’s and four Mercedes, and this is hands down the best car purchase I ever made..
