Mercedes SL 4th generation (1989-2002)

Browsing carzone, these cars seem to offer good value compared to equivalent era Porsche 911s, for example.

I realise these cars are inevitably expensive to run, does anyone with experience of any these cars have any advice regarding pitfalls to look out for?

Hello hawkmoon,

try www.carsurvey.org Nice simple web page... choose mercedes from the list, then choose the SL... then read reviews from drivers for the different years.

Used this page a lot to find out about many different cars when I was on the lookout for one.

even easier... click here http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/mercedes-benz/sl/

good luck

....you're not wrong, they do offer better value than an equivalent 911. Different audience/kettle of fish, though.

Always liked the R129 and W113 series....never cared for the R107's though. Good value to be had in all of them, though.

Can't see them being any more expensive than a 911 to own, tbh. (DAMHIK !), certainly easier to get work done on them.
