Mercedes flagship convertible was ready to coddle
First, approach the vehicle with a mind for analyzing all electronic systems. Spend 20 or 30 minutes ensuring all work properly. Second, avoid a model with the Active Body Control (ABC) suspension where possible. This system will eventually wear down and break, resulting in a big repair bill. Finally, take any SL you’re considering to a Mercedes mechanic for a comprehensive inspection. You’re spending big bucks on this car, so don’t cheap out on peace of mind.

The Verdict Of A Used Mercedes-Benz SL: Most SL owners will confirm the driving experience to far outweigh any reliability issues, though shoppers are advised to seek out as new a model as their budget allows, preferably from a Certified Pre-Owned program. Opt for any extended warranty available to protect yourself from high repair costs.
