What to Look For When Buying a Used SL
When inspecting a used Mercedes-Benz SL, pay close attention to the following:
- Roof Mechanism: Thoroughly test the operation of the retractable hardtop (or soft-top on older models). Check for smooth operation, leaks, and any warning lights.
- Electrics: With many sophisticated electronic systems, ensure all features (infotainment, climate control, seats, windows) function correctly.
- Service History: A comprehensive service history, ideally from a Mercedes-Benz specialist or dealership, is crucial.
- Bodywork and Interior: Inspect for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills on older models. Check the leather interior for wear and tear.
- Engine and Gearbox: Listen for any unusual noises, check for smooth gear changes, and ensure the engine runs cleanly without smoke.
Running Costs for a Used Mercedes-Benz SL
Owning an SL is a premium experience, and running costs reflect this. Expect higher fuel consumption, especially with V8 and V12 engines. Insurance premiums can be substantial due to the car's value and performance. Servicing and replacement parts, particularly for older or more complex models, can be expensive, so budgeting for maintenance with a trusted specialist is advised.
Common Issues to Be Aware Of
While generally well-engineered, some common issues can arise with specific SL generations:
- R230: ABC suspension (Active Body Control) can be a costly repair if it fails. Earlier models might suffer from some electronics issues.
- R231: Generally more reliable, but still susceptible to high running costs and potential issues with the increasingly complex electronics.
- All Models: Regular maintenance is key. Neglected service schedules can lead to more significant problems over time.
