MERCEDES-BENZ SL CLASS (2008-12) SL600 2DR ROADSTER 5.5 517 AUTO5
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ SL CLASS (2008-12) SL600 2DR ROADSTER 5.5 517 AUTO5 is a two-seat luxury convertible, built for open-air touring rather than family practicality. In the UK it sits near the top of the used roadster market: a prestigious grand tourer for buyers seeking comfort and performance in one package.
The 5.5-litre SL600’s 517 horsepower and automatic gearbox deliver effortless pace, while its folding roof lets it switch from coupé to open-top cruiser. It is best suited to couples or solo drivers seeking a car for weekend escapes or long-distance journeys; running costs and limited practicality make it less suited to everyday family duties.
Against the BMW 6 Series Convertible, the SL600 stands out for its two-seat focus, prestige and relaxed performance. Mycarcheck recorded 11 look-ups across six distinct VINs; average private-sale valuation was £21,000, with 29,000 miles and 1.7 previous keepers on average—a useful snapshot, not a guarantee.
